Headline: Uttarakhand STF Arrests Three in Myanmar Cybercrime Trafficking Scheme
Dehradun, India – November 24, 2025 – The Uttarakhand Special Task Force (STF) has arrested three individuals allegedly involved in a large-scale operation of trafficking Indian youths to Myanmar for forced labor in cybercrime activities. The arrests follow the recent repatriation of nine victims from Uttarakhand who were illegally held in KK Park, Myawaddy town, Myanmar.
According to the STF, the arrested suspects, identified as Sunil Kumar, Nirav Chaudhary, and Pradeep, all residents of Udham Singh Nagar district, were implicated during the interrogation of the repatriated victims. Preliminary investigations reveal an organized scheme where Indian agents lured victims with promises of lucrative jobs, extorted significant sums of money, and then transported them to Bangkok using Thai visas before illegally moving them into Myanmar. The agents primarily contacted the victims through mobile applications like Telegram and WhatsApp.
The STF continues to investigate the full extent of the trafficking network and anticipates further arrests as the probe progresses. This bust highlights the growing issue of cybercrime rings exploiting vulnerable individuals in Southeast Asia.
