Relatives of three youths from Belagavi have complained to the police that some people from the city are engaged in illegal activities like trafficking in human beings and cyber slavery.
The youths escaped from Cambodia with help from the Belagavi Police, the CBI and the law enforcement authorities in Cambodia.
Family members of Akash Kaganikar, Omkar Lokhande and Sanskar Lokhande complained to the city Cyber, Economic and Narcotics (CEN) offence wing that they were cheated by 40-year-old Prasanna Hundre, Asif Alwan and Amit, all from Belagavi.
They promised to help them get data entry jobs in Singapore with a salary of ₹1 lakh per month. But they were taken to a private company in Cambodia. The employers there, forced them to engage in cybercrime, including cheating innocent victims, and collected money from them ranging from ₹95,000 to ₹2.5 lakh.
The case registered around two weeks ago has come to light now.
