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 trapped in a cyber job scam in Myanmar. The youths, who were lured by fake job ads on social media, had been promised work abroad but were instead taken to Myanmar and forced into labor.
The rescue operation was carried out in collaboration with the Myanmar authorities, who provided vital assistance in tracking down and apprehending the culprits. The rescued youths are now being provided with counseling and support to help them recover from their ordeal.
According to reports, the youths were duped by a group of scammers who promised them high-paying jobs in foreign countries. They were lured by fake job ads on social media, which promised them lucrative salaries and a chance to work abroad. The youths were given fake contracts and visas, which they believed were genuine.
However, once they reached Thailand, they were taken to Myanmar, where they were forced into labor. The scammers had planned to use them as cheap labor to work in various industries, including manufacturing and construction.
The youths, who were mostly from Srinagar and other parts of Kashmir, were left stranded in Myanmar with no means of communication or support. They were forced to work long hours for little pay and were subjected to exploitation and abuse.
The J&K Police received a tip-off about the youths being trapped in Myanmar and immediately swung into action. They contacted the Myanmar authorities and requested their assistance in tracking down the scammers and rescuing the youths.
The operation was carried out over several days, with the J&K Police working closely with the Myanmar authorities to track down the scammers and rescue the youths. The scammers were arrested, and the youths were rescued and brought back to India.
The rescued youths are now undergoing counseling and support to help them recover from their ordeal. They have been provided with food, shelter, and medical care, and are being helped to rebuild their lives.
The J&K Police have praised the swift action taken by the Myanmar authorities in assisting with the rescue operation. “We are grateful for the support extended by the Myanmar authorities in rescuing the youths,” said a senior police officer. “Their cooperation was invaluable in ensuring the successful rescue of the youths.”
The incident highlights the importance of being cautious when responding to job ads on social media. It also underscores the need for authorities to take action against scammers who prey on unsuspecting youths and exploit them for their own gain.
In recent years, there has been a surge in cases of cyber job scams, with scammers using fake job ads on social media to dupe unsuspecting youths. The J&K Police have been working closely with other law enforcement agencies to track down and arrest scammers and rescue victims.
The rescue of the 13 youths is a testament to the effective coordination between the J&K Police and the Myanmar authorities. It is also a reminder of the importance of being vigilant and cautious when responding to job ads on social media.
