Gate News reports that on March 28, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in India arrested a suspect named Sunil Nellathu Ramakrishnan (also known as Krish) on March 26, accusing him of being a key coordinator in a transnational trafficking network related to Southeast Asian online scams. Authorities identified him as a central figure in assisting the entrapment of Indian citizens into scam hubs in Myanmar, specifically in the Myawaddy region. Investigations revealed that this criminal network recruited victims through fake high-paying job offers in Thailand, transporting them from Delhi to Bangkok, and then secretly transferring them to Myanmar. Victims were forced to engage in various online activities within the hubs, including cryptocurrency investment scams, “pig butchering” scams, and “digital kidnapping” frauds. Due to these schemes utilizing cryptocurrency for rapid cross-border fund flows, law enforcement has faced increased challenges. The CBI has currently seized digital evidence related to operations in Myanmar and Cambodia in Mumbai, and the investigation is ongoing.
