PANews reported on March 28 that, according to FinanceFeeds, India's Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) arrested suspect Sunil Nellathu Ramakrishnan (also known as Krish) for alleged involvement in a transnational human trafficking network linked to online scams in Southeast Asia. He is accused of being a key coordinator in the cross-border fraud network.

This network lured Indian citizens to Thailand through fake job postings, then transported them to fraud rings in Myanmar and Cambodia, where they were forced to engage in cryptocurrency investment scams and romance scams. Law enforcement agencies stated that these crimes utilize crypto assets for cross-border fund transfers, increasing the difficulty of tracking, and the investigation is ongoing.
