The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested two key individuals, Nipender Chaudhary and Nilesh Narpatsinh Purohit, linked to a human trafficking network that lured Indian nationals with fake overseas job offers to scam compounds in Myanmar and Cambodia. Victims were coerced into cybercrime operations, had their passports confiscated, and faced restricted movement and abuse. The accused facilitated illegal transportation and managed recruitment networks, with families often paying large sums for victims' release.
