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 taken to Myanmar via Thailand. The authorities acted swiftly to bring them back to their families, and the rescued youths are now undergoing counselling to deal with the trauma they experienced.
According to reports, the youths were tricked into believing that they had landed jobs in foreign companies, with salaries that were significantly higher than what they could have earned in India. The scammers, posing as recruiters, convinced the youths to pay hefty fees for visa and other documentation. The youths, eager to make a better living, parted with their hard-earned money, believing that they were taking a step towards a brighter future.
However, things took a dark turn when the youths arrived in Myanmar. They were taken to a remote area and forced to work in inhumane conditions, with little or no pay. The authorities in Jammu and Kashmir received a tip-off about the youths’ plight and launched an investigation. The police worked tirelessly to track down the scammers and rescue the youths.
The operation was a complex one, involving coordination with authorities in Myanmar and Thailand. The J&K Police worked closely with the Indian embassy in Myanmar to ensure the safe return of the youths. The police also worked with local authorities in Thailand to track down the scammers and bring them to justice.
The rescued youths, who have been identified as residents of various districts in Jammu and Kashmir, were brought back to India and are currently undergoing counselling to deal with the trauma they experienced. The police have also launched an investigation into the scam and have arrested several people in connection with the case.
The J&K Police have been commended for their swift action in rescuing the youths and bringing the scammers to justice. The authorities have also urged people to be cautious of such scams and to verify the authenticity of job ads before parting with their money.
An Eye-Opening Experience
One of the rescued youths, who wished to remain anonymous, described the ordeal as an “eye-opening experience”. “I never thought that I would be duped by such a scam. I was convinced that I had landed a job in a foreign company, but things took a turn for the worse when I arrived in Myanmar. I was forced to work in inhumane conditions, with little or no pay. I was treated like a slave,” he said.
The youth added that he was grateful to the J&K Police for rescuing him and bringing him back to India. “I am grateful to the police for their swift action in rescuing me and bringing me back home. I am still trying to come to terms with what happened, but I am grateful that I am safe and sound,” he said.
A Wake-Up Call for Job Seekers
The case is a wake-up call for job seekers who are tempted by fake job ads on social media. It is essential to verify the authenticity of job ads before parting with their money.
