NEW DELHI: Exposing a cross-border ‘taskaree’ network that blended human trafficking with digital crime, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Wednesday (Feb 18) filed charges against three accused persons, in a human trafficking and cyber fraud racket operated by Indian and foreign agents from Myanmar.

The agency, during its investigation, uncovered a well-organised human trafficking network engaged in illegal activities, ranging from unlicensed recruitment of Indian citizens abroad to the illicit transfer of victims for criminal operations in Southeast Asia.
