Hyderabad, Sep 13 || Telangana Cyber Security Bureau (TGCSB), has arrested a woman from Mumbai for her involvement in sending job seekers to Cambodia to engage in cybercrimes.

Priyanka Shivkumar Siddu, a recruiting agent and resident of Chembur, Mumbai, had sent a few youths including two from Hyderabad.

The 30-year-old has been booked for causing hurt, trafficking of minors, wrongful confinement, extortion by putting a person in fear of death or grievous hurt, cheating, criminal intimidation

A case under sections 323, 370, 342, 386, 420, 506 r/w 120B of Indian Penal Code (IPC), 66D IT Act and 24 of Emigration Act was booked at the Cyber Crime Police Station (HQ), TGCSB, Hyderabad.

According to TGCSB director Shikha Goel, Priyanka previously worked at a licensed overseas job processing agency named Maxwell, which closed due to the health issues of its MD. Gaining experience there, she later started her own agency without a proper license and misled job seekers by offering visit visas with the promise that they would be converted to job visas later.

Priyanka developed a connection with Narayana, who also operated a similar agency in Mumbai. Narayana travelled to Cambodia and informed Priyanka about data entry job opportunities there, introducing her to Jithender Shah alias Amer Khan, the director of a Chinese-owned company named Zhan Zei.
