The arrestee was identified as Bangladeshi national Milton Sheikh, 37, who had rented the house and allegedly trafficked the three women for prostitution.
According to police, Sheikh was earlier deported back to Bangladesh as he was illegally staying in India without a VISA passport. However, the accused gained entry in India again through illegal means, police said.
The rescued women were Nazma Khan, 24, Sabina Sheikh, 30 and Zumur, 30.
"The three women told the police that they were trafficked from Bangladesh to India earlier this year by Milton Sheikh to work as sex workers," said a senior police official in DCB, Ahmedabad.
