International Human Trafficking Racket Busted: Five Arrested in Jharkhand

An international human trafficking racket promising illegal migration to the USA was dismantled in Jharkhand's Hazaribag district. Police arrested five individuals, including the alleged mastermind, following a complaint from Sonu Kumar. The accused exploited victims with false promises, demanding money under duress.

In a significant breakthrough, police have dismantled an international human trafficking racket in Jharkhand's Hazaribag district, reportedly luring individuals with false promises of emigrating to the USA, authorities revealed on Saturday.

The crackdown came after Sonu Kumar, a resident of Bharjo village, lodged a complaint accusing Udai Kumar Kushwaha, allegedly operating from America, of deceitfully sending him via Brazil in 2024 under false pretexts, police stated.

The accused also promised jobs in the USA to others, sending them through a perilous route across multiple countries. Police have already arrested five culprits, seizing crucial evidence as further raids continue to nab more involved.
