The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has gathered evidence indicating that the “slave compounds” operating in Myanmar and neighbouring areas have emerged as major hubs for the execution of digital arrest frauds. The agency has filed a charge sheet against 13 accused persons in one such major digital arrest case.

The agency found that several key bank accounts used for receiving money from victims and routing the funds were being controlled by masterminds based in Cambodia, Hong Kong, and China.
“Multiple streams of evidence now indicate that slave compounds operating in Myanmar and neighbouring areas have emerged as major hubs for the execution of digital arrest frauds, where trafficked Indian nationals are coerced to run call-centre style cybercrime operations,” it said.
