Following up on a welfare call, police in Princeton, Texas uncovered a large labor trafficking operation in Collin County where 15 women were being held.

Police on Monday announced they'd uncovered a large labor trafficking operation in Princeton, Texas earlier this spring while responding to a welfare call.

During the investigation into the report, Princeton police obtained a search warrant for Santhosh Katkoori's home. Once inside the house, police discovered 15 adult women who they said were forced to work for several shell companies owned by Katkoori and his wife, Dwaraka Gunda. The police statement did not include the addresses of those other locations or details about the nature of the programming work done for the couple's alleged shell companies.

Princeton police said Monday, after investigators conducted an analysis of all of the electronics seized and the nature of the operation was confirmed, they issued arrest warrants for four people now charged with trafficking of persons, a second-degree felony.
