Gujarat police bust Myanmar-based ‘cyber slavery racket’, 3 arrested

Ahmedabad: The Surat City Cyber Crime Cell has busted an international racket that trafficked Indians and foreign nationals to Myanmar and forced them into “cyber slavery” — a form of trafficking where victims are compelled to work in online fraud operations under threat, without freedom of movement or the ability to leave, officials said on Monday. Three accused have been arrested and a local court has granted four days’ police remand, they added.

Police identified the main accused as Neepesh alias Nirav Lavush Chaudhary, 24, who worked as an HR manager with K.K. Pak, a Chinese-run cybercrime company in Myanmar.
