NIA conducts raids across 10 states in human trafficking case

On Wednesday, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) searched ten states in connection with possible cases of human trafficking.

In the trafficking case, NIA has conducted the searches in states including Tripura, Assam, West Bengal, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Haryana, Puducherry, Rajasthan, and Jammu and Kashmir.

Together with state police forces, raids are being conducted at the residences and other locations of suspects connected to these cases.

Based on targeted information against suspects connected to the crime, the NIA’s several teams began conducting raids in the ten states early on Tuesday.

As per NIA sources, over four dozen locations are being searched by the NIA sleuths in these 10 states to unearth the racket of human traffickers having international links.

Last month, an NIA team from Bengaluru apprehended a Tamil Nadu suspect who had been evading capture in connection with a human trafficking case in Sri Lanka. Along with another co-accused, the accused—Imran Khan—trafficked citizens of Sri Lanka to different areas of Bengaluru and Mangaluru.

Providing its international dimensions, the federal agency had taken over the case from the local police. In October 2021, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) submitted a preliminary charge sheet against five Indian defendants in this case: Dhinakaran, also known as Ayya, Kasi Viswanathan, Rasool, Satham Ushen, and Abdul Muheetu. The NIA arraigned 13 suspects in the case by the end of October this year.
