Hyderabad’s Shashi Kiran Reddy, alleged kingpin of the Dingucha case, is suspected to be the mastermind behind the Dubai-Nicaragua flight with 303 Indians currently stranded in France due to suspicions of human trafficking. Reddy has been running a human smuggling network for 15 years, organizing chartered flights from Dubai to Nicaragua. He has facilitated the illegal entry of 800 Indians into the US through 8 to 10 sorties in the past two months. In the Dingucha case, Mahendra Dingucha, working with Reddy, sent thousands from Gujarat to the US illegally.
