The Telangana Cyber Security Bureau (TGCSB) has busted a gang that was recruiting Indians for cyber scam campuses run by Chinese criminals in Myanmar’s Myawaddy.

The sleuths arrested five persons — Vasam Goverdhan (35) Banothu Madhanlal (24) and Gangala Naveen, (26) from Telangana, Suggana Sudheer Kumar (26) from Andhra Pradesh and Syed Mohammad Madhani from Karnataka.

The CSB booked the gang members on November 22 after two victims, Sharan and Sangireddy Jeevan Reddy, returned to India and filed a complaint. They had been promised high-paying data entry jobs in Thailand. Once taken to Myanmar, their passports were seized, and they were forced to work in fraudulent call centres targeting innocent Indian citizens through investment scams, digital arrests, OTP harvesting and romance frauds
