SIA Kashmir Investigates Transnational Human Trafficking and Cyber Fraud Network
The State Investigation Agency (SIA) Kashmir conducted coordinated searches at residences in Kulgam and Qazigund as part of an investigation into a transnational human trafficking and cyber fraud network. The network allegedly recruited unemployed youth from Jammu and Kashmir and other parts of India with promises of overseas jobs, subsequently exploiting them in cyber scam operations in Myanmar's Myawaddy region. Authorities seized digital devices and documents to trace recruitment, movement, and financial links, and are collaborating with national and international agencies to identify the full network and its operations.
