Surat Cyber Crime police bust international cyber slavery racket, arrest two more agents

Surat Cyber Crime police have made more  arrests in the international cyber slavery racket, detaining an agent from Himmatnagar and an MBA graduate from Uttarakhand, and secured their four-day remand.

Officials said sub-agent Aqib Husain Asiq Husain Saiyed of Chhatral, through agent Danish Dantreliya, had sent two Muslim youths to Myanmar as cyber slaves on the pretext of offering them jobs at a Chinese company’s call centre in Thailand, luring them with a salary promise of ₹70,000.

Earlier, Surat police had busted the racket 11 days ago, arresting Neepender alias Nirav Lavkush Choudhary from Chandigarh, along with Prit Rasikbhai Kamani and Ashish Ramanlal Rana, who were linked to sending people to Chinese firms.

Last week, police arrested Aqib, who runs a clothing shop, and secured a two-day remand. His questioning revealed the recruitment trail leading to Danish Dantreliya of Sabarkantha, who was picked up on Wednesday. Danish allegedly pocketed ₹45,000 commission for sending the two youths to Myanmar.

Police also arrested Shashank Yogendra Basudev Sahai Saxena (24), who studied MBA in Uttarakhand, from Mumbai. Shashank allegedly helped Neepender and others by converting USDT cryptocurrency commissions into Indian rupees.

Both Danish and Shashank have been remanded in custody for four days.
