Busting Cyber-Slavery: Unveiling the Trafficking Network in Myanmar

The Delhi Police arrested two men involved in recruiting Indian youngsters for cyber-fraud in Myanmar, a form of cyber-slavery. The case emerged following a military raid in Myanmar and involved nearly 300 repatriated Indians who were coerced into fraudulent activities targeting US nationals.

The Delhi Police have apprehended two individuals accused of recruiting and trafficking young Indians to Myanmar, where they faced 'cyber-slavery' conditions while engaged in forced cyber-fraud, officials announced.

The arrests of Danish Raja, 24, from Delhi, and Harsh, 30, from Faridabad, were made following revelations that emerged after Myanmar's military raided a scam compound in Myawaddy, rescuing several trafficked Indians.

Investigations reveal these young individuals were coerced into targeting US nationals across multiple scam hubs in Myanmar, with the police tracing and acting upon testimonies from deportees, as the crackdown continues on the syndicated network using complex illegal operations.
