NIA raids Jamia Nagar in Delhi and dismantles a “cyber slavery” ring.

By carrying out a search operation in Jamia Nagar, Delhi, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has stepped up its efforts to combat transnational crime syndicates. This comes after a major suspect in a massive human trafficking and cyberslavery scheme was recently arrested. Digital devices, bank passbooks, debit cards, and financial documents were confiscated during the raid, offering vital evidence for continuing inquiries.

Kamran Haider, the alleged leader of a criminal organization that traffics Indian youth to the Golden Triangle Region of Laos (Lao PDR), is at the center of the case. These victims were allegedly coerced into running cyber scam centers that preyed on Americans and Europeans after being seduced with fictitious job offers. It is thought that the network used online deception and phishing techniques to plan extensive financial frauds. The NIA claims that victims who tried to flee were extorted, frequently using cryptocurrency, which gave the trafficking scheme a more sinister undertone.

In a different case, Mohammad Sajjad Alam, a member of the outlawed Popular Front of India (PFI), was arrested by the NIA at Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi. Alam was accused of facilitating the transfer of funds from Dubai to India in order to support illegal and anti-Indian activities. This arrest, which brings the agency’s total number of arrests in this case to 18, underscores its ongoing efforts to disrupt networks that pose a threat to national security.

These events demonstrate how international syndicates taking advantage of digital platforms are enabling the increasing convergence of financial crime, cyber fraud, and human trafficking. The NIA’s prompt and well-coordinated actions highlight how crucial cross-border cooperation and intelligence sharing are to combating cyber-enabled crimes that affect both local and international communities.
