Santhosh Katkoori : “North Texas Forced Labor Operation Uncovered by Police: Shocking Discovery Revealed”

Authorities in North Texas have uncovered a disturbing human trafficking operation in a home in Princeton, Collin County. Police have issued arrest warrants for four individuals in connection with the operation, which involved forcing both women and men to work for multiple programming shell companies owned by a couple residing in the area.

Discovery of the Operation

On March 13, police responded to a welfare check at a residence in the 1000 block of Ginsburg Lane in Princeton. Upon entering the home of Santhosh Katkoori, 31, and his wife Dwaraka Gunda, 31, officers discovered 15 women who were being coerced into working for the couple’s shell companies. The investigation revealed that the victims were being exploited for labour under duress.

It was later determined that the operation spanned multiple locations in Princeton, Melissa, and McKinney, involving both women and men in forced labour. The victims were subjected to inhumane working conditions and were deprived of their basic rights.
