41 Gujarat youths trafficked in overseas job scam: Pak agents arranged Dubai, Vietnam tickets; Chinese gangs forced victims into cyber fraud – Gujarat News


The Gujarat State Cyber Center of Excellence has uncovered a major international cyber slavery network and arrested three agents, including a husband-wife duo from Junagadh.
The group was allegedly working in coordination with two Pakistan-based brothers and was luring young men and women in India and abroad with false promises of employment. Officials said the racket had been operating for a long time and had developed structured processes to recruit and transport victims.
Lured abroad with promises of easy online work
Cyber Center Superintendent Dr. Rajdeepsinh Zala said the network targeted youth by offering data entry jobs or simple online work abroad. Preliminary investigation has revealed that at least 41 Indian citizens were trafficked out of the country through this network.
The arrested agents charged around ₹80,000 per person from aspirants seeking overseas employment and received a commission of $2,000 per individual. The police believe that the gang has deep and longstanding operations in Gujarat.

Victims handed over to Pakistani and Chinese syndicates
Investigators said the agents facilitated travel to Southeast Asian countries such as Myanmar, Vietnam, Dubai and Malaysia. Once the victims reached the airport, their ordeal began. They were received by Pakistan-based handlers identified as Miyazali and Tanvir, who then handed them over to members of a Chinese criminal network.
Chinese gang members immediately seized passports, mobile phones and other documents. The victims were then taken across the border through the ‘Moi River’ route and transported to a facility known as ‘KK Park’ located near the Myanmar border. This location is considered an illegal cyber operations hub.
Forced into cyber crimes, tortured for non-compliance
At KK Park, Indian citizens were forced to carry out cyber fraud activities, including phishing attacks, cryptocurrency scams, ponzi operations and dating app frauds. According to officials, those who resisted were held in confinement and subjected to physical and mental torture.
The arrested agents are believed to have collaborated closely with international cyber syndicates and Chinese cyber mafias, making significant financial gains by trafficking individuals into cybercrime operations.
Further links being investigated
The Gandhinagar cyber cell is now tracing the wider network, which has connections across several South Asian countries, including Pakistan. Authorities fear that many more people may still be trapped abroad. Efforts have begun to locate and safely bring back affected Indian citizens who were forced into criminal activities under duress.
