The National Investigation Agency (NIA) today chargesheeted the CEO of Laos-based Long Sheng Company in the high-profile human trafficking and cyber fraud case, having an international footprint.

Sudarshan Darade, who was arrested by NIA Mumbai in June this year, has been named in the chargesheet as a key culprit in the case. 

A large amount of incriminating material has been recovered from Darade’s mobile phones. Darade has also revealed details to NIA regarding another wanted accused, Sunny Gonsalves, as well as foreign nationals Niu Niu and Elvis Du, who are still absconding.

NIA investigations have revealed that Darade’s company, Long Sheng, based in Bokeo province of Laos PDR, was actively involved in the racket relating to the trafficking of youth to the Golden Triangle Laos PDR via Bangkok on the pretext of job offers.

NIA is in constant touch with the rescued victims to gather information about others involved in the racket and is also spreading awareness among youth about the dangers of engaging with unverified international companies for employment. Further investigations are continuing in the case.
