Bidhannagar City Police is gearing up for a mission to Southeast Asia to target cybercrime syndicates operating in Cambodia, Vietnam, and Thailand. These syndicates, reportedly controlled by Chinese cartels, exploit individuals from different South Asian countries, including India, Pakistan, Nepal, and Bangladesh. Authorities are joining forces with global agencies to dismantle these illegal operations involving digital arrests and financial frauds with money channelized through multiple countries. In a recent development, the police have uncovered evidence linking multiple digital arrest cases in Salt Lake, New Town, Kolkata, and nearby areas to foreign cybercrime syndicates. Efforts are underway to collaborate with authorities in Southeast Asia with support from the Ministry of External Affairs and Interpol. The investigation has revealed the involvement of various foreign syndicates, with funds ultimately traced back to Chinese cartels. Plans are in place to dispatch a team to Cambodia and Vietnam to crackdown these criminal networks in coordination with local law enforcement. Additionally, the police have successfully repatriated 600 Indian employees from Cambodia and Thailand to assist in the ongoing probe.
