By MYBRANDBOOK
Two individuals who are suspected of trafficking people for cyber "slavery" in Southeast Asia have been arrested by Jharkhand CID. These agents were operating along with Indian and Chinese nationals to lure individuals with fake job offers and forced them to work in scam centers in Cambodia, Thailand, and Laos.
The accused were identified as Waseem Khan (29), a resident of Jharkhand’s Giridih district, and Yamuna Kumar Rana (29), who hails from Koderma district of the state.
After a series of complaints were lodged with the Cyber Crime Police Station in Ranchi regarding luring victims for job opportunities with respect to data entry and others in Cambodia, Thailand and Laos, the CID came into action.
“The two agents were operating in collusion with Indian and Chinese nationals based out of scam centres in Cambodia. These centres are notorious for exploiting individuals through investment frauds, part-time job frauds etc,” as per official statement.
A detailed investigation was launched by the CID by tracking financial transactions and communication networks. “Coordination was established with the protector of emigrants and the regional passport office. They provided detailed information about unregistered recruitment agents operating in Jharkhand,” it stated.
Statements from the victims trafficked to Cambodia were taken that revealed elaborate details of their trafficking to scam centres and the nature of scam operations in Sihanoukville, Cambodia and Chiang Rai, Thailand, the release said.
“Based on the investigation, two agents were arrested from Koderma and Giridih respectively, and evidence was seized linking them to the trafficking ring and their overseas counterparts,” according to the statement.
Passbooks and cheque books related to transactions, mobile numbers, one laptop, one pen drive, bio-data, passport and Visa details of people sent abroad were recovered from their possession, it said.
