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, all in their early twenties, were 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 in inhumane conditions. The authorities acted swiftly to bring them back, and the rescued youths are now undergoing counseling to help them recover from their traumatic experience.
The youths, all from different parts of Jammu and Kashmir, were lured by the promise of high-paying jobs in countries like Thailand and Myanmar. They were promised salaries ranging from Rs 50,000 to Rs 1 lakh per month, which is significantly higher than the average salary in Jammu and Kashmir. The scammers also promised them a comfortable lifestyle and decent accommodation.
The youths were told to pay a certain amount of money as a processing fee to secure the job. Once they paid the fee, they were given fake visas and tickets, and were sent to Thailand. However, instead of going to their supposed job, they were taken to Myanmar, where they were forced to work in inhumane conditions.
The youths were made to work long hours for little or no pay, and were subjected to physical and mental abuse. They were also not provided with proper food and accommodation, and were forced to live in cramped and unsanitary conditions.
The family members of the youths were left worried as they didn’t hear from their loved ones for several months. They approached the police, who launched an investigation into the matter.
The police tracked down the scammers and found that they had a network of agents in Jammu and Kashmir, who were responsible for luring the youths into the scam. The agents were using social media platforms to spread fake job ads and were targeting unemployed youths who were desperate for a job.
The police also found that the scammers had a network of accomplices in Myanmar, who were helping them to traffic the youths and forcing them to work in inhumane conditions.
The police acted swiftly to rescue the youths and bring them back to Jammu and Kashmir. They worked with the authorities in Thailand and Myanmar to track down the scammers and rescue the youths.
The rescued youths were brought back to Jammu and Kashmir and are now undergoing counseling to help them recover from their traumatic experience. The police are also providing them with financial assistance and are helping them to reunite with their families.
The Jammu and Kashmir Police have hailed the rescue operation as a major success and have warned the public to beware of such scams. The police have also appealed to the public to report any such scams to the authorities immediately.
The incident highlights the seriousness of the problem of job scams in Jammu and Kashmir and the need for the authorities to take stern action against the scammers. The youths who were rescued are lucky to have been brought back safely, but many others who have fallen prey to such scams are not so fortunate.
The authorities need to take a proactive approach to prevent such scams from happening in the future. They need to work with the social media platforms to remove fake job ads and to track down the scammers. They also need to provide counseling and financial assistance to the victims of such scams.
In conclusion, the rescue operation by the Jammu and Kashmir Police is a major success and a testament to their commitment to protecting the citizens of the state. The incident highlights the importance of being cautious when looking for a job and the need for the authorities to take stern action against the scammers.
