Wednesday's arrest marks a dramatic fall for ambitious Kerala model Reshmi R Nair, who was in the public eye constantly, but ironically never making it big.
Kerala police arrested Reshmi and her husband Rahul Pasupalan alleging they had been directly involved in running an online sex racket.
A PTI report quotes police sources saying Kader, the mastermind of the racket, had sent photos of Reshmi to decoys sent by them.
IGP (Crimes) S Sreejith said when the couple were arrested at a hotel near Kochi airport two minor girls were with them, besides their six-year-old son. Police are probing to find out whereabouts of these girls.
A small town girl Reshmi shot into fame as a bikini model, not a small feat in conservative Kerala. She ruffled feathers, but built a following with her bold photo shoots, which showed ample skin.
In 2013, Reshmi got selected to take part in Playboy's Miss Social contest, an online competition for models to get popular votes and get featured in the magazine though in the non-nude category.
2014 October saw her debuting as an organiser of Kiss of Love campaign in Kerala.
The most celebrated moment of the campaign was when she kissed Rahul on Mathrubhumi TV channel after a show host Aparna Kurup challenged Kiss of Love volunteers to kiss in front of everyone.
