The moment passengers arrive at these stations, they find sex workers standing and openly soliciting custom.
Inside and outside Patna Railway station, sex workers pick up their customers with police turning a blind eye. This on-the-go sex service is not confined to the boundaries of Patna.
The railway stations in Ara and Bihiya of Bihar have also witnessed brisk sex trade.
Sex workers plying their trade either take their customers to cheap, seedy hotels in the vicinity or if the customers express unwillingness, suggest some free of cost places as well.
Shockingly, these free of cost places include Platform no. 1 of Patna railway junction and the empty rail coaches.
The staircase right beside the food plaza is also a beehive of such seedy activity. The scenarios outside Ara and Bihiya railway stations are quite similar.
Sex workers are easily available outside these railway stations. They are 5 to 7 in number and are readily available with info about accommodation in the area.
