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, were promised work abroad. However, after reaching Thailand, they were taken to Myanmar, where they were forced to work in inhuman conditions.
The rescue operation was carried out by the police in collaboration with the government agencies and non-governmental organizations. The police received a tip-off about the youths being held captive in Myanmar and immediately swung into action to rescue them.
The youths, who are all residents of Jammu and Kashmir, were between the ages of 18 and 25. They were lured by the promise of high-paying jobs abroad and were convinced to pay hefty fees to the scammers. However, once they reached Thailand, they were taken to Myanmar, where they were forced to work in harsh conditions.
The authorities acted swiftly to bring the youths back to India. The police, along with the Indian Embassy in Myanmar, worked tirelessly to locate the youths and ensure their safe return.
“We received a tip-off about the youths being held captive in Myanmar and immediately started working on the rescue operation,” said a police official. “We worked closely with the Indian Embassy and other government agencies to ensure their safe return.”
The rescued youths are now undergoing counseling to deal with the trauma and psychological distress they suffered during their ordeal. The police have also launched an investigation into the scam and have arrested several people in connection with the case.
The Jammu and Kashmir Police have been at the forefront of fighting cybercrime and have rescued several youths who were duped by similar job scams in the past. The police have also been working closely with the government agencies and non-governmental organizations to raise awareness about the dangers of online scams and to educate people about how to stay safe online.
The rescue operation is a testament to the bravery and dedication of the Jammu and Kashmir Police and the importance of working together to combat cybercrime. The police have once again proved that they are committed to protecting the people of Jammu and Kashmir and will stop at nothing to ensure their safety and well-being.
The incident is a reminder of the importance of being vigilant online and not falling prey to fake job ads and other scams. People should always be cautious when applying for jobs online and should never pay any fees to anyone who claims to be offering a job.
