3,000 Indians Used As Slaves By Cyber 

Many Indian women who are victims of human trafficking to Cambodia are forced into honey-trapping unsuspecting people back home by making nude calls. This has been revealed by a man from Telangana who was himself a victim of Chinese human smugglers and returned home recently.

Munshi Prakash had reached Cambodia in the hope of landing a legal job, only to be exploited by a syndicate specialising in cybercrime. A native of Gandhampalli village in Bayyaram mandal of Mahabubabad district in Telangana , he revealed that Chinese nationals were creating fake dating and gaming apps to lure Indians and swind ling crores by duping them. 

He also said 3,000 Indians, many of them from Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, remain trapped in Cambodia. These included girls living in detention are forced to make nude calls. He met people from Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. besides Mumbai and Delhi. All of them had been duped into believing that they would get legal jobs, only to be used as slaves by cyber criminals to dupe people in India.

The money that the gang makes from these cyber slaves is converted into cryptocurrency, then into US dollars and finally into Chinese Yuan.

Prakash claimed he faced horrifying treatment, including physical assault, torture, and detention. He managed to record a selfie video narrating his traumatic experiences, prompting the Indian embassy and the state govts of Telangana and AP to rescue him. 

According to him, the plight of women is worse than that of the men as they have to face the ignominy of forcibly making nude calls to men.

Prakash was rescued by the Cambodian police on April 16 but was arrested on a fake charge, foisted on him by the Chinese gang, and spent 12 days in jail. “After the authorities found out that the charge was fake, I was deported to Delhi on July 5,” Prakash said. Nine others were rescued with him.

“I went to Cambodia via Malaysia on March 12. I was forced to become a cyber scammer in a compound in Krong Bavet in Cambodia, after my passport was taken away by Chinese nationals running the compound.” Bavet is the largest city in Cambodia’s Svay Rieng province, which has an international border crossing with Vietnam.

A BTech graduate in civil engineering, Prakash had been working with an IT firm in Hyderabad and had posted his profile on job sites seeking employment abroad. “One Vijay, an agent in Cambodia, called me and offered me a job in Australia. He said I needed travel history before going to Australia and gave me tickets for Malaysia,” Prakash explained.

“From Kuala Lumpur, I was taken to Phnom Penh. A local repre sentative of Vijay collected US dollars worth Rs 85,000 from me. Then, Chinese nationals seized my passport and took me to Krong Bavet. It’s a large compound with towers. I was put in Tower C, with other Indians,” he said.

“We were given ten days of training to create and use fake social media profiles of girls in Telugu and other languages to lure men. We had to convince the men to trade with our handlers and send money,” Prakash said and added that he resisted the gang initially.

“I sent an email to my sister in Tamil Nadu, who informed the authorities. I also made a video about my plight after which I was rescued.”
