14 Indians rescued from cybercrime operations in Cambodia, says Indian Embassy

Fourteen Indians were rescued by Cambodian law enforcement authorities, along with the efforts of the Indian Embassy in Phnom Penh, from cybercrime operations in Cambodia. These individuals were victims of alleged job scams that promised lucrative opportunities but ended in forced criminal activity.

The Embassy’s efforts, including providing specific leads to Cambodian authorities, have now facilitated the safe return of over 650 Indian citizens targeted by such scams.

“The embassy provided specific leads to the Cambodian Police, leading to the rescue of 14 additional Indian victims,” the Indian Embassy said in a statement. “These rescued individuals are currently receiving care from an NGO in collaboration with Cambodia’s Ministry of Social Affairs,” it added.
