New Delhi: At least 283 Indian nationals trapped into working in cybercrime centres in Myanmar have been rescued and are being repatriated to India, the MEA said today.

The Indian nationals were today repatriated by an Indian Air Force aircraft from Mae Sot in Thailand, a statement said.

“The Government of India has been making sustained efforts to secure the release and repatriation of Indian nationals lured to various southeast Asian countries, including Myanmar, with fake job offers.

“These persons were subsequently made to indulge in cybercrime and engage in other fraudulent activities in scam centres operating in regions along the Myanmar-Thailand border,” a statement said.

“The Indian embassies in Myanmar and Thailand coordinated with local authorities to secure the repatriation of 283 Indian nationals by an IAF aircraft from Mae Sot in Thailand.

“The Government of India wishes to reiterate its caution, circulated earlier from time to time through advisories and social media posts, about such rackets.

“Indian nationals are once again advised to verify credentials of foreign employers through Missions abroad and check the antecedents of recruiting agents and companies before taking up a job offer,” the statement said.
