The police have arrested two Chinese nationals on charges of being involved in human trafficking. The arrestees have been accused of taking three Nepali citizens to Laos through Kathmandu, India and Thailand under the pretext of finding them a job.
They lured them into job opportunities at an online sales market in Laos with monthly salaries of USD 1,000 and 1,500, said the victims. They also promised free visas and tickets.
