The National Investigation Agency conducted simultaneous raids across Gopalganj, East Champaran and Saran districts in Bihar as part of its probe into an alleged international human trafficking network linked to cyber fraud operations in Cambodia.
During the searches, NIA teams questioned several individuals, seized mobile phones and digital devices, and issued notices for further questioning at the agency’s Patna office.
Complaint Triggered Investigation
According to the agency, the case relates to Satyanarayan, a resident of Bettiah in West Champaran district.
Investigators said he was allegedly sent abroad in 2024 and later taken to Cambodia, where he was allegedly forced to participate in cyber fraud.
He later escaped, returned to India and filed a complaint with the NIA.
Gopalganj Agent Questioned
In Gopalganj, NIA officials questioned an agent identified as Pradeep Singh at Sadhu Chowk under Town police station limits.
He was directed to appear before the NIA in Patna on July 10.
Singh denied the allegations and claimed that money had been returned after the youth came back from Cambodia.
East Champaran Search and Device Seizure
In East Champaran, NIA searched the residence of Mohammad Kalamuddin at Kalupakar village under Phenhara police station limits.
His mobile phone was seized, and he was questioned for several hours.
Investigators suspect he may have been involved in arranging travel and tickets for people allegedly sent to Cambodia.
He has been asked to appear before the NIA in Patna on July 13.
Saran Raid Conducted With Local Police
In Saran district, an NIA team from Delhi conducted a raid at Pachrukhwa village under Mashrakh police station limits at around 5 AM.
Local police assisted the agency during the operation.
Authorities are now examining seized digital evidence to trace the wider cross-border network.
Why This Case Matters
Such cases show how job offers, travel promises and overseas placement networks can be misused to push victims into cyber fraud operations abroad.
Professional auditing services in india can help organisations verify employment agents, review financial trails, detect suspicious payments and strengthen compliance checks in cross-border recruitment and business dealings.

Strong due diligence, transaction verification and professional auditing services in india can reduce exposure to trafficking-linked financial fraud networks.
