In a shocking development related to a cyber fraud racket targeting Indians in Cambodia, the Vadodara Detection of Crime Branch (DCB) arrested Manish Hingu, a 30-year-old man running the immigration agency Unique Employment Services in Vadodara. The arrest follows a complaint filed by an individual from Odisha, accusing Hingu of criminal breach of trust and involvement in human trafficking.
The complainant claims that Hingu, as the managing director of the agency, was allegedly involved in trafficking people under the guise of offering employment opportunities, eventually leading to exploitation in Cambodia. The DCB has also launched a manhunt to apprehend Hingu’s accomplice, who remains at large.
The police have initiated an investigation into the scam, which reportedly involved several individuals being lured to Cambodia under false pretenses. These victims were then exploited through fraudulent employment promises.
The arrest of Hingu is part of a larger crackdown on the growing number of cyber fraud cases, with authorities working to uncover the full scope of the racket and identify the other individuals involved.
