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 young victims had been lured by fake job ads on social media, promising work abroad. After reaching Thailand, they were taken to Myanmar, where they were forced to work under inhumane conditions.
The police received a tip-off about the missing youths from their families, who had reported them missing after they failed to return home. The J&K Police swung into action and launched an investigation to track down the missing youths.
After conducting a thorough investigation, the police traced the youths to Myanmar and worked with the authorities there to rescue them. The rescued youths were brought back to India and are currently undergoing counselling to deal with the trauma they experienced during their ordeal.
The incident highlights the growing menace of cyber job scams, which are becoming increasingly sophisticated and targeting unsuspecting youths. The scammers use fake job ads and social media platforms to lure victims, often with promises of high-paying jobs and a better life abroad.
The youths who were rescued were from various parts of Jammu and Kashmir and had been lured by the promise of a job in Thailand. They were taken to Myanmar, where they were forced to work in inhumane conditions, often for long hours with little pay.
The police said that the youths were rescued with the help of the Myanmar authorities, who cooperated with them to bring the victims back to India.
“Thanks to the swift action by the J&K Police and the Myanmar authorities, the 13 youths have been rescued and are safe,” said a police spokesperson.
The police have registered a case against the perpetrators of the scam and are investigating the matter further.
The rescue operation was a testament to the dedication and professionalism of the J&K Police, who worked tirelessly to track down the missing youths and bring them back to their families.
The incident also highlights the importance of vigilance and awareness about cyber job scams. The youths who were rescued were duped by the promise of a job in Thailand, but it is likely that they were targeted by the same scammers who operate in the region.
The J&K Police have urged the public to be cautious of such scams and to verify the authenticity of job offers before accepting them.
In a statement, the police said, “We urge the public to be cautious of such scams and to verify the authenticity of job offers before accepting them. We also appeal to the public to report any such cases to the police immediately.”
The rescue of the 13 youths is a welcome development and a testament to the effectiveness of the J&K Police in tackling the menace of cyber job scams.
