Indian students being used by extortion rackets in Canada, says intelligence report

An intelligence report has found that Indian students in Canada are being exploited by organized extortion rackets, according to officials familiar with the matter.

The report, prepared by Indian intelligence agencies, details how criminal networks target vulnerable Indian students studying in Canada, forcing them to participate in extortion operations.

These students are allegedly coerced under threat of harm to themselves or their families back in India, the report states.

The findings highlight a growing concern over the safety of Indian students abroad and the transnational nature of these criminal activities.
