Tamil Nadu police track returnees from Southeast Asia in cyber slavery crackdown

Cybercrime investigators of the Tamil Nadu police have stepped up surveillance on returnees from the Southeast Asian ‘Golden Triangle’ region comprising Laos, Cambodia, and Myanmar to gather intelligence on cyber slavery networks that operate from heavily guarded scam compounds.

Officials said they were working closely with the Bureau of Immigration and the Protector of Emigrants to obtain details of those arriving from these countries. The aim is to identify both victims and suspects linked to organised cyber fraud operations that targeted individuals, particularly in India.
