Farid Ahmed, identified as the owner of one of the gyms, was arrested following an encounter after he allegedly opened fire at police during a raid, officials said.
The GRP constable is accused of providing logistical support and protection to the gang. Police said the racket came to light after two women lodged separate complaints earlier this month.
All five gyms operated by the group have been sealed till February 27 as part of the ongoing investigation.
