The women were forced to abide by the rules imposed on them and had to hand over all of their earnings to Rahi, according to police. He is alleged to have used false promises and fear to exert control over them.

Police say they have reason to believe there may be other victims in Montreal and Quebec.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Toronto police at 416-808-7474.
