New Delhi, Jan 5 (NationPress) The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has escalated its inquiry into a human trafficking and cyber slavery network that is operating within the Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Lao PDR). The agency executed a search at the Jamia Nagar home of a recently apprehended suspect in South Delhi.
During the operation on Saturday, the NIA confiscated various digital gadgets, including mobile phones and tablets, alongside incriminating financial documents such as debit cards, passbooks, and chequebooks from multiple banks. These items are anticipated to assist the agency in revealing more information about the transnational criminal enterprise.
This case centers around a criminal conspiracy led by Kamran Haider and his associates, who stand accused of trafficking vulnerable Indian youths to the Golden Triangle Region in Lao PDR. These victims were coerced into cyber slavery, compelled to execute online scams aimed at European and American individuals.
Initial investigations have indicated Kamran Haider's significant role in orchestrating the operation. Besides facilitating the trafficking, he is also alleged to have extorted money from victims trying to escape. Haider and his accomplices are suspected of using cryptocurrency wallets to funnel these extorted funds, complicating the financial trail.
The recent search by the NIA forms part of a broader initiative to dismantle this network that allegedly operates with the help of Chinese scammers. The agency is dedicated to identifying and prosecuting all individuals implicated in this abhorrent racket.
As the investigation unfolds, the NIA has reiterated its commitment to delivering justice for the victims and exposing the complete scope of this transnational criminal conspiracy.
Further updates are anticipated as the inquiry advances.
The Lao human trafficking and cyber slavery case involves luring unsuspecting job-seekers to Laos via Bangkok. In Bangkok, they are reportedly abandoned to navigate their way to Laos independently, incurring their own travel expenses.
Upon arrival in Laos, victims are compelled to engage in illegal cyber operations by creating fictitious online profiles using female personas, interacting with individuals in the US and India.
