J&K Police Rescue 13 Youths Trapped in Myanmar Job Scam
In a daring operation, the Jammu and Kashmir Police have rescued 13 youths who were duped by a cyber job scam and trafficked to Myanmar. The youths, who were lured by fake job ads on social media, promising work abroad, were being held captive in the Southeast Asian country.
According to sources, the youths, most of whom were from rural areas of Jammu and Kashmir, had responded to the fake job ads on social media, which promised them lucrative jobs abroad. After reaching Thailand, they were taken to Myanmar, where they were held captive and forced to work in inhumane conditions.
The authorities received information about the trafficked youths from a reliable source, which led to swift action being taken to rescue them. A team of police officers from the Jammu and Kashmir Police, along with officials from the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), were dispatched to Myanmar to rescue the youths.
The rescue operation was carried out with great precision and care, with the team working closely with local authorities in Myanmar to ensure the safe return of the youths. The 13 youths were rescued from a remote area in Myanmar and brought back to India, where they are now undergoing counselling to deal with the trauma they experienced during their ordeal.
Speaking about the operation, a police officer said, “The youths were lured by fake job ads on social media, which promised them lucrative jobs abroad. They were taken to Thailand and then to Myanmar, where they were held captive and forced to work in inhumane conditions. Our team worked tirelessly to rescue them and bring them back to India. We are grateful that the operation was successful and the youths are now safe.”
The police officer also warned people about the dangers of falling prey to such scams, saying, “We urge people to be cautious and not to respond to suspicious job ads on social media. These ads are often designed to trick people into parting with their money or personal information. We will continue to work to rescue people who have been duped by such scams and bring the perpetrators to justice.”
The rescue operation is a testament to the bravery and dedication of the Jammu and Kashmir Police, who worked tirelessly to rescue the youths and bring them back to India. The operation is also a reminder of the importance of being vigilant and cautious when it comes to job opportunities, especially those that seem too good to be true.
The rescued youths are now being provided with counseling and support to help them deal with the trauma they experienced during their ordeal. The authorities are also working to identify and prosecute the perpetrators of the scam, who are believed to be based in India.
In a statement, the Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, said, “The government is committed to protecting the rights and dignity of its citizens, especially the youth. We will not tolerate any form of exploitation or trafficking, and we will continue to work to rescue people who have been duped by such scams. We urge people to be vigilant and not to fall prey to such scams.”
The rescue operation is a significant success for the Jammu and Kashmir Police, who have been working to combat cyber crime and trafficking in the state. The operation is also a reminder of the importance of international cooperation in combating transnational crimes.
As the youths begin their journey to recovery, the authorities are working to ensure that they receive the support and counseling they need to overcome the trauma they experienced during their ordeal. The rescue operation is a testament to the bravery and dedication of the Jammu and Kashmir Police, and a reminder of the importance of being vigilant and cautious when it comes to job opportunities.
