India arrests key suspect linked to Myanmar crypto scam compounds, exposing trafficking network that forced victims into global fraud operations across Southeast Asia

India’s Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested Sunil Nellathu Ramakrishnan in Mumbai, alleging he was a key trafficker who helped move Indian nationals into cyber-fraud compounds in Myanmar’s Myawaddy region, including KK Park. According to the reporting, victims were recruited with fake job offers, taken from Delhi to Bangkok, and then diverted into compounds where they were forced to participate in crypto investment scams, romance fraud, and so-called digital arrest schemes. The case matters because it ties human trafficking directly to the industrial-scale scam ecosystem operating across Southeast Asia. The CBI said the arrest was built from testimony by Indian nationals repatriated from Thailand in March and November 2025, plus digital evidence seized from Ramakrishnan’s Mumbai home, and that the network extended beyond Myanmar into Cambodia as well. The broader context is a large regional scam economy that has trapped victims from multiple countries and prompted cross-border enforcement, repatriation efforts, and growing scrutiny of the recruitment and payment channels that sustain these operations.
