2,500-km Chase, China Firm That Scammed Indians: How Delhi Cops Caught Trafficker In Hyderabad

New Delhi: 

A man who forced many young men from India to commit cyber crimes through fake call centres on the promise of getting them jobs abroad has been arrested from Hyderabad by the Delhi Police yesterday after a 2,500-km chase.

Kamran Haider alias Zaidi carried a reward of ₹ 2 lakh on information leading to his arrest, declared by the National Investigation Agency.

Zaidi and his accomplices used to traffic vulnerable young Indian men to the Golden Triangle Region in Southeast Asia, where the borders of Thailand, Laos and Myanmar meet, and force them to work in Chinese companies. Their passports would be taken away as soon as these men reached abroad and they would be forced into cyber crimes

According to the Delhi Police, Zaidi was constantly changing his location and the police had deployed teams in Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh to catch him.

After manual inputs and technical surveillance, Zaidi’s location was finally traced to Hyderabad. “He was arrested after a long persevering chase of 2,500 kilometres by the team without any rest near Nampally Railway Station in Hyderabad while he was trying to escape another hideout,” Deputy Commissioner of Police (Special Cell) Manoj C said
