The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has charged three individuals in connection with a human trafficking and cyber fraud scheme operated by Indian and foreign agents from Myanmar. The NIA stated that the accused also include a suspected Chinese national who is currently at large. During its investigation, the NIA found that the three, along with known and unknown associates, were involved in trafficking vulnerable Indian youth to the Myawaddy region of Myanmar. The agency uncovered a well-organized network of traffickers and touts engaged in illegal activities, ranging from the unlicensed recruitment of Indian citizens for jobs abroad to the illicit transfer of victims for criminal operations in Southeast Asia.
