They had been held at KK Park, a notorious "scam centre" in Myawaddy Township in that country, he added. "The victims were handed over to three persons identified as Steve, Anna, and Leo at a company called UU8. This information was critical in coordinating with the Indian Embassy in Yangon through the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C) in New Delhi. Leveraging the data provided by the MBVV police, the Indian government successfully identified and repatriated seven victims, including four from MBVV police jurisdiction, this week, Mr. Shinde said. The probe into the financial trails of the ransom amounts is underway, Mr. Shinde said.
