The National Investigation Agency has filed a chargesheet against five people, including an absconding alleged mastermind, in a case involving trafficking and cyber slavery of Indian youths in Cambodia. NIA says kingpin Anand Kumar Singh, also known as Munna Singh, recruited victims through agents and travel channels in India and worked with associates in Cambodia. The scheme allegedly “sold” youths to fake companies for USD 2,000–3,000 each, then seized passports, forcing victims into scam-company work while meting out torture.

The training will emphasize counter-terrorism tactics and peacekeeping operations, with hands-on sessions that include the use of drone technology. The drill marks the second phase of CINBAX, aiming to strengthen coordination between the two militaries.
