Over 100 Gujaratis trapped in Myanmar, MLA seeks PM Modi’s help
In a shocking incident, over 100 Gujarati youths have been trapped in Myanmar after falling prey to an international cyber scam racket. The youths, who were lured to the country with promises of lucrative job opportunities, are now being forced to work for 14-18 hours a day in inhumane conditions. The situation has prompted Vadodara MLA Ketan Inamdar to seek the immediate intervention of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to rescue the trapped youths.
According to reports, the youths were contacted by scamsters who promised them high-paying jobs in Myanmar. The scamsters used social media platforms and other online channels to lure the youths, who were mostly from Gujarat. Once they arrived in Myanmar, they were forced to work in illegal activities, including online scams and other cybercrimes. The youths are being held captive and are not allowed to leave the country.
One of the trapped youths managed to send an audio message, in which he described the horrific conditions they are being subjected to. “We were brought here in the name of jobs…but we were forced into illegal work for 14-18 hours daily,” he said. The youth also appealed to the Indian government to rescue them, saying that they are being treated like slaves.
The incident has raised serious concerns about the safety and security of Indian citizens, particularly youths, who are being targeted by international scam rackets. The fact that over 100 Gujarati youths have been trapped in Myanmar highlights the scale of the problem and the need for urgent action.
Vadodara MLA Ketan Inamdar has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urging him to take immediate action to rescue the trapped youths. Inamdar has also requested the Prime Minister to direct the Indian embassy in Myanmar to provide assistance to the youths and facilitate their return to India.
The MLA has also demanded that the Indian government take steps to prevent such incidents in the future. “The government should take strict action against the scamsters and ensure that such incidents do not happen again,” he said. Inamdar has also appealed to the people of Gujarat to be cautious and not fall prey to such scams.
The incident has also raised questions about the role of social media platforms in facilitating such scams. The scamsters used social media platforms to lure the youths, highlighting the need for greater vigilance and regulation of online activities.
The Indian government has been working to tackle the issue of cyber scams and online frauds, but the incident highlights the need for greater cooperation and coordination between law enforcement agencies and other stakeholders. The government should work with social media platforms and other online companies to prevent such scams and ensure that Indian citizens are protected from such threats.
In conclusion, the incident of over 100 Gujarati youths being trapped in Myanmar is a serious concern that requires immediate attention and action. The Indian government should take urgent steps to rescue the trapped youths and prevent such incidents in the future. The government should also work with social media platforms and other online companies to prevent cyber scams and online frauds, and ensure that Indian citizens are protected from such threats.
