Kochi police have requested the Central Bureau of Investigation to probe alleged human‑trafficking rings operating out of Cambodia.
Kochi police have formally asked the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to investigate a network of human‑trafficking rings believed to operate from Cambodia.
The request comes after police intelligence indicated that the trafficking operations involve Indian nationals and are linked to organized crime groups.
The CBI, which handles major criminal investigations across India, is expected to assess the evidence and determine whether a full inquiry is warranted.
The move underscores the growing concern over cross‑border human‑trafficking cases involving Indian citizens.
No further details about the alleged victims or the extent of the network have been released at this time.
