NEW DELHI,
DHNS
Amid reports of several Indians getting killed
after being forced to fight for Russia in the war against Ukraine, the CBI on
Thursday cracked human trafficking networks
sending youths to the conflict zone
promising them lucrative
jobs.
After registering a case against visa consultancy firms and agents,
searches were conducted at
more than 10 locations in seven cities -- Delhi, Thiruvananthapuram, Mumbai,
Ambala, Chandigarh, Madurai and Chennai.
The agents and visa firms were accused of hiring and sending
youths to the Russia-Ukraine war zone promising lucrative jobs, CBI officials
said. Around 35 instances
of victims being sent abroad have been established. So far, officials said, over Rs 50 lakh, documents and
electronic records like laptops, mobiles and desktops were seized while some suspects have been detained for questioning. According to CBI, the suspected
traffickers have been operating
as an organised
network.
5 PUNJAB YOUTHS STRANDED
