A sessions court in Mumbai has denied bail to Om Pravin Jadhav, a 21-year-old man from Satara, Maharashtra, accused of luring young people with false job offers and trafficking them to Myanmar for cyber fraud activities. The court, presided over by Additional Sessions Judge NV Jiwane, determined that the evidence presented, including bank transactions, strongly indicated Jadhav's involvement in a trafficking racket linked to cyber scam operations in Southeast Asia. Victims were allegedly promised lucrative jobs in Thailand but were instead sent to Myanmar, where they were forced into digital fraud schemes. The court noted that Jadhav operated a front company, Royal Shipping Consultancy, and used social media to attract job seekers, showcasing successful placements to lure them in. The prosecution pointed to a financial trail, with multiple transactions from a victim deposited into Jadhav's bank account, reinforcing the allegations against him. Despite the defense's argument that Jadhav was not the main perpetrator and had been in custody since March 10, the court rejected his bail plea, citing the potential for interference in the ongoing investigation and the serious nature of the charges.
