As of April 12, 2025, there are no verified news reports confirming that a web series or TV actor has been arrested as the kingpin of a human trafficking scam with four aides apprehended. However, several recent cases involving individuals from the entertainment industry and trafficking-related crimes have been reported:
- Kamran Haider’s Human Trafficking Network: In December 2024, Kamran Haider, also known as Zaidi, was arrested by Delhi Police’s Special Cell in Hyderabad. He led a syndicate that lured Indian youth with fake job offers abroad, only to force them into cyber fraud operations for Chinese-run call centers in Southeast Asia. Four of his associates—Manjoor Alam (alias Guddu), Sahil, Ashish (alias Akhil), and Pawan Yadav (alias Afzal)—were also arrested.
- Prostitution Racket in Goa: In March 2022, the Goa Crime Branch busted a prostitution racket in Sangolda village near Panaji. A Hyderabad-based man, Hafiz Syed Bilal, was arrested, and three women, including a television actress, were rescued.
- Actor Kidnap Gang in Bijnor: In December 2024, police in Bijnor arrested Lavi Pal, the mastermind behind a gang that targeted actors through fake event invitations. The gang was involved in high-profile kidnappings, including those of actor Mushtaq Khan and comedian Sunil Pal.
While these cases involve individuals from the entertainment industry and serious criminal activities, none specifically mention a web series or TV actor being the kingpin of a trafficking scam with four aides arrested. It’s possible that emerging reports may provide more details, and I recommend monitoring reputable news sources for the latest updates.
