CBI Arrests Hisar Man in Human Trafficking Network Linked to Southeast Asia Cyber Slavery Scam
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) arrested Ankit, a Hisar resident, linked to a human trafficking network sending Indians to scam compounds in Southeast Asia under false job promises. Victims were exploited in Myanmar and Cambodia, facing 'cyber slavery' involving forced cybercrime activities. Evidence from seized devices revealed connections with recruiters and cryptocurrency transactions as commission payments. Social media platforms like Instagram and Telegram were used to lure victims. The CBI registered the case in December 2025 and has conducted multiple arrests and searches across states.
