Kamran Haider’s arrest marked a significant step towards dismantling the international human trafficking syndicate, NIA said in a statement. Along with his co-accused, Haider was allegedly directly involved in arranging flight tickets and documents for the victims and facilitating their “illegal border crossings” with the help of contacts in the Golden Triangle region. The Golden Triangle is referred to a large, mountainous region comprising parts of Myanmar, Thailand and Laos.The NIA had chargesheeted Haider and four others in October in the case relating to a well-organised network of traffickers and touts involved in various illegal activities.
