The NIA has filed a chargesheet against five persons (including an alleged mastermind) related to the human trafficking and cyber-slavery of Indian youths and women through a major racket operating from Cambodia. The picturesque kingdom has been popularly described (by some) as the ‘Land of Milk and Honey’, but in reality it is anything but.
The accused typically promise young Indian women and men high-wage jobs in highly-desirable industries and then take them to Cambodia under the auspices (of false job offers) of employing them with highly-desirable employers, only to be forced into illegal and entirely different and brutal cyber-crime operations (including working in unsanitary, dangerous conditions with physical and mental abuse, and starvation/dehydration) and exchanging money (as described) with respect to each victim trafficked by the organisation.
The alleged mastermind of the organisation is Anand Kumar Singh (alias Munna). The other defendants in the NIA chargesheet are Abhay Nath Dubey, Abhiranjan Kumar, Rohit Yadav and Prahlad Kumar Singh.
