NIA continues to bust Chinese run Human Trafficking in Laos
New Delhi : The National Investigation Agency (NIA) intensified its crackdown on the Lao human trafficking and cyber slavery network by conducting a raid on the Delhi residence of a recently arrested suspect in Jamia Nagar. The operation marks a significant step in dismantling a global syndicate exploiting vulnerable Indian youth.
During the search, the NIA seized several digital devices, including mobile phones and tablets, as well as incriminating financial documents such as debit cards, passbooks, and cheque books from multiple banks.
The investigation centers on Kamran Haider, the alleged mastermind behind a criminal conspiracy involving the trafficking of Indian youth to the Golden Triangle region in Laos. Victims of the racket were coerced into carrying out cyber scams targeting citizens in Europe and the United States. Preliminary findings indicate that Haider not only facilitated the entire operation but also extorted money from victims who attempted to escape by exploiting cryptocurrency wallets. Evidence suggests that the syndicate had deep connections with Chinese scammers.

The NIA’s probe aims to uncover the full extent of the network, which has ensnared numerous Indian citizens through intimidation and coercion. The operation also highlights the growing threat of cyber slavery and the exploitation of digital platforms for financial crimes.
The case has far-reaching implications, exposing the vulnerabilities faced by individuals who fall prey to trafficking under false pretenses. The agency has reaffirmed its commitment to bringing all culprits involved in this international racket to justice. Further investigations are underway as the NIA continues to unravel the complex web of human trafficking, cybercrime, and financial fraud associated with this case.
