Chilling revelations emerged just late yesterday from these young victims rescued there in Myanmar. Upon their arrival, they talked to police about their traumatic experiences. They did call these IT jobs very big-paid and threw them to the inferno of cyber slavery. Their testimonies made for brutal abuse-exploitation in an IT park somewhere in deep jungles of Myanmar; facing all inhuman conditions, they pretended to await a lucrative destination. Barely a month ago, 24 hijacking victims from Rajasthan cyber slavery Myanmar saga were released and repatriated. Their stories hint at a much larger and ongoing crisis.
Imposters’ job offers got sent to ambitious, impressionable youth from vulnerable districts such as Jhunjhunu, Sikar, Didwana, and Kuchaman. Many of them, aged 21 to 40, left home hoping for a bright future in the IT or hospitality sector. Instead, they became victims, having their passports taken away and being held under duress to conduct cybercrimes. One victim shared that if targets were not met on any given day, the punishment turned brutal—initially through financial penalties, then progressively brutal physical torture. The accounts have unnerved the Rajasthan Cyber Police officers, who now dread that over 500 others from the state are likely stuck in similar predicaments abroad.
Brokers Under Scrutiny as Police Uncover a Wider Network
The probe has narrowed down to these three brokers from Rajasthan, who are from opposite sides of the state-Sriganganagar and Nagaur-who allegedly masterminded the racket. These middlemen preyed upon unemployed youths, presenting them promises of hefty salaries-which went as high as ₹75,000 a month-before sending them off to cyber hubs. For a steep fee, they took care of the visas and tickets but then handed their victims over to the merciless gangs in Myanmar. The Rajasthan Cyber Police have initiated a probe that is digging into old records and tracking the movements of the brokers while local stations have been directed to keep an eye out.
Central agencies including the CBI and NIA are stepping up their involvement. An incriminating list of brokers implicated has popped up in investigations carried out by them, exposing the scale of the operation. Three Rajasthan brokers now top the list of targets whose call records are being analyzed. Authorities believe that something even more shocking will tumble out within a month. Meanwhile, the CBI deployed 125 teams across the country against this menacing growth, indicating urgency toward dismantling these networks. In their Rajasthan operation, they have targeted not just brokers but also local accomplices who fabricated documentations and sold false dreams to vulnerable job aspirants.
A National Rescue Effort Amid Tales of Torture
Currently, this predicament is not confined to Rajasthan. Earlier this month, 540 Indian nationals were rescued from the cybercrime hubs along the Myanmar-Thailand border. Two hundred and eighty-three of them were repatriated by an Indian Air Force flight on March 10, 2025, from Mae Sot in Thailand, while the rest of the number, 257, were flown back the next day. Among those rescued were 31 from Rajasthan, whose stories are smuggled with the same texture as the others.
As per Cyber SP Shantanu Kumar, these rackets operate in consideration of border areas where there is hardly any law enforcement. There are expansive complexes being used as scam factories. The segregated victims are trained along linguistic lines to “open a bill” in swindling-induced mirroring, wherein quotas are imposed on an almost daily basis to the tune of $3,000-$5,000 in casting those who have been defrauded.
The failure to meet those targets brought about repercussions. Survivors spoke of a regime of torment: confiscated passports, forced cyber fraud training, and continuing relentless pressure to deliver. Those who fell short of expectations faced more than just fines; they faced physical abuse-some even paid with their lives. The Rajasthan Cyber Police along with the Ministry of Home Affairs, now race to rescue the almost 500 still trapped from reaching out to the families for leads. Well as tightening the noose by the CBI that’s the hope that these efforts would end up bringing a closure to this modern-day slavery in addition to giving freedom to quite a few victims to be reunited with their loved ones.
