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 jobs, are now being forced to work for 14-18 hours a day in inhumane conditions. The situation has prompted Vadodara MLA Ketan Inamdar to urge Prime Minister Narendra Modi to intervene in the matter and ensure the safe return of 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, many of whom were unemployed or struggling to make ends meet. Once the youths arrived in Myanmar, they were forced to work in illegal industries, including online scamming and data theft. The youths are being held against their will, and their passports and other documents have been confiscated by the scamsters.
One of the trapped youths managed to send an audio message to his family, detailing 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,” the youth said in the audio message. The youth’s message has been shared with the authorities, and it has prompted MLA Ketan Inamdar to take up the matter with the Prime Minister.
MLA Inamdar has written to Prime Minister Modi, urging him to take immediate action to rescue the trapped youths. Inamdar has requested the Prime Minister to use diplomatic channels to secure the release of the youths and ensure their safe return to India. Inamdar has also appealed to the Gujarat government to provide assistance to the families of the trapped youths and to take steps to prevent such incidents in the future.
The incident has highlighted the growing menace of cyber scams and the need for increased awareness and vigilance among the public. The authorities have been warning people about the dangers of online scams, but it seems that many people are still falling prey to these scams. The incident has also raised questions about the role of social media platforms in facilitating these scams and the need for stricter regulations to prevent such incidents.
The Indian government has been taking steps to combat cyber scams and to provide assistance to victims of these scams. However, it seems that more needs to be done to address the issue. The government needs to increase awareness about the dangers of cyber scams and to provide more support to victims. The government also needs to work with social media platforms and other online companies to prevent these scams and to track down the scamsters.
In the meantime, the families of the trapped youths are anxiously waiting for their loved ones to return home.
