Two Indian journalists have won the prestigious Pulitzer Prize for an art reporting project exposing cybercrime in India. 

Anand RK and Suparna Sharma, along with Natalie Obiko Pearson, were announced as the winners on Monday in the Illustrated Reporting and Commentary category for the report they produced for Bloomberg.

Another Indian journalist, Devjyot Ghoshal, was a finalist in the same category for an exposé of cybercrime and trafficking in Southeast Asia, in which criminals use people from several countries, including India, who are held as prisoners in camps and forced to scam victims in other countries. He is based in Bangkok.
