Chandigarh/Shimla: Getting a job offer in Thailand? Think twice as you can land instead in Myanmar region in cyber slavery camp.
In a major crackdown, the Central Bureau of Investigation has arrested a Mumbai-based man accused of running a shocking cyber slavery network that trapped Indians in foreign scam centres.
The accused, Sunil Nellathu Ramakrishnan, also known as Krish, is believed to be a Kingpin in a racket that lured people with fake job offers abroad.
According to the CBI, victims were promised high-paying jobs in Thailand. They were first sent from Delhi to Bangkok.
But instead of jobs, they were secretly taken to Myanmar, especially the Myawaddy region.
There, things took a dark turn.
Victims were forced to work in cyber fraud centres. They were made to carry out scams like fake “digital arrest” calls, online romance frauds, and cryptocurrency scams targeting people across the world, including India.
Those who refused were threatened, beaten, and kept under strict watch.
Victims helped crack the case
In 2025, some Indian victims managed to escape and return home through Thailand. Their statements helped the CBI understand how the network was operating.
After a detailed investigation, Ramakrishnan emerged as a major link in sending and controlling victims in these foreign scam centres.
Arrest and ongoing probe
The CBI tracked his movements and arrested him in Mumbai after he returned to India. Searches at his residence led to the recovery of important digital evidence linked to operations in Myanmar and Cambodia.
The agency says more arrests are likely as it continues to investigate the international network.
The case highlights a growing danger—fake overseas job offers turning into a trap for cyber slavery.
