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 brought back to the state after authorities acted swiftly to locate and rescue them.
The police received a tip-off about the missing youths, who had gone missing after answering a job ad on social media. Further investigation revealed that the youths had been trafficked to Myanmar, where they were forced to work in inhumane conditions.
The J&K Police, in collaboration with the Myanmar authorities, launched a joint operation to rescue the youths. After days of intense negotiations and coordination, the police managed to bring back the 13 youths to India.
The rescued youths, who are between the ages of 18 and 25, were brought back to the state capital, Srinagar, where they were received by top police officials, including the Director General of Police (DGP) and the Inspector General of Police (IGP).
The DGP, while speaking to the media, praised the police team for their swift action and coordination with the Myanmar authorities. “We are proud of our police team for their dedication and professionalism. They worked tirelessly to locate and rescue the youths, and we are grateful to the Myanmar authorities for their cooperation,” he said.
The IGP, while speaking to the media, said that the police had received several complaints about similar job scams in the past. “We have been warning people about such scams, but unfortunately, some youths still fall prey to them. We will continue to work to prevent such cases and rescue those who are trapped,” he said.
The rescued youths are currently undergoing counseling and rehabilitation at a special center set up by the police. The police are also providing them with legal assistance and support to help them rebuild their lives.
The J&K Police have also launched an investigation into the scam and have arrested several suspects. The police are working to identify and prosecute the masterminds behind the scam.
The case highlights the dangers of job scams and the importance of being cautious when responding to job ads on social media. The police are urging people to verify the authenticity of job ads and to be wary of offers that seem too good to be true.
The rescue operation is a testament to the dedication and professionalism of the J&K Police, who work tirelessly to keep the state’s citizens safe. The police are a vital part of the state’s law and order machinery, and their efforts are crucial in preventing and solving crimes.
