J&K Police Rescue 13 Youths Trapped in Myanmar Job Scam
In a remarkable operation, the Jammu and Kashmir Police has 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 brought back to the state after authorities acted swiftly to trace and rescue them.
According to reports, the youths, all residents of Jammu and Kashmir, had been lured by fake job advertisements on social media, which promised them lucrative jobs abroad. They were asked to pay a hefty sum of money to secure the job, and eventually, they were taken to Thailand, from where they were transported to Myanmar.
The victims, most of whom were in their early twenties, were taken to different locations in Myanmar, where they were forced to work in inhumane conditions. They were subjected to physical and mental abuse, and were not paid any salaries. The victims were also deprived of their mobile phones and were not allowed to communicate with their families.
However, the authorities in Jammu and Kashmir were alerted to the matter after some of the victims managed to send distress messages to their families and friends. The police immediately launched an investigation and traced the youths to Myanmar.
A team of police officers, led by the Deputy Inspector General of Police, Jammu, was sent to Myanmar to rescue the youths. The team worked tirelessly to locate the victims and negotiate with the traffickers to release them. After several hours of negotiations, the traffickers agreed to release the youths, and the police team escorted them back to India.
The rescued youths were brought back to Jammu and Kashmir, where they were provided with medical and counseling services. The authorities also registered a case against the traffickers and launched an investigation to identify and prosecute them.
The rescue operation was hailed as a major success by the authorities, who praised the swift action taken by the police to save the youths. The Director General of Police, Jammu and Kashmir, said that the operation was a testament to the police’s commitment to protecting the citizens of the state from the scourge of human trafficking.
The rescued youths, who are now undergoing counseling, are grateful to the police for their bravery and dedication. They said that they were mistreated and abused during their captivity, but they were determined to survive and eventually escape.
The incident highlights the need for greater awareness about cyber job scams and the dangers of falling prey to fake job advertisements. It also underscores the importance of swift action by the authorities to rescue victims of human trafficking and bring the perpetrators to justice.
The Jammu and Kashmir Police’s swift action in rescuing the 13 youths trapped in Myanmar is a shining example of its commitment to protecting the citizens of the state. The police’s bravery and dedication have given new hope to the victims and their families, and have sent a strong message to the traffickers that they will not be tolerated.
