Overseas job offers emerge as trafficking route
The Union Home Ministry has issued a warning about a growing trend of human trafficking through overseas recruitment scams. Under an advisory, states and Union Territories have been directed to launch a specialized enforcement drive against networks that lure individuals with promises of high-paying jobs, only to trap them in cyber fraud centers.
The ministry has emphasized the need for a coordinated response involving state police, cyber cells, labor authorities, anti-human trafficking units and local administrations to identify and dismantle these fraudulent recruitment networks.
