On July 7, 2026, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) conducted raids at six locations across Bihar, Delhi, and Uttar Pradesh as part of an investigation into a Cambodia-linked human trafficking and cyber slavery case. The agency is targeting an organized syndicate that allegedly lured Indian youth with false job promises. During the operation, the NIA seized smartphones, laptops, and incriminating documents. Victims reported being forced into cyber fraud activities in Cambodia after their passports were confiscated. The investigation is focused on absconding accused Anand Kumar Singh and his associates, with prior arrests made in February 2026. The NIA aims to dismantle the trafficking network and gather further evidence against the perpetrators.
