00:00We have with us about a fake job pass, 238 Indians have been rescued from Myanmar and
00:06Thailand.
00:07Indians were held captive in Myanmar-Thailand border, victims of a fake job scam forced
00:13into cybercrime.
00:15Indian Air Force aircraft has taken off from Thailand's Mysore.
00:21India today had exposed Myanmar job con, 283 Indians lured into illegal jobs in Myanmar
00:27have now been rescued.
00:31As many as 283 Indian nationals who were victims of fake job offers in Myanmar have been rescued
00:38and repatriated from the country.
00:42Indian embassies in Myanmar and Thailand have coordinated with the local authorities to
00:46secure the repatriation of Indian nationals on Monday by an Indian Air Force aircraft.
00:53The Ministry of External Affairs has said in a statement.
00:58Shivani has got more details on that.
01:00Shivani just talked to us about what happened in this case, 238 Indians were in fact in
01:06Thailand.
01:07Also tell us what's the conversation been like between the government of India and the
01:12countries from where, the two areas from where these people were brought back essentially.
01:19This is 283 Indian nationals who have been released, rescued and repatriated to India
01:26with the efforts of the Ministry of External Affairs and the help of the Indian Air Force
01:31that has been utilized to ferry these Indians who were lured by Myanmar and other Southeast
01:37Asian countries with four fake job offers.
01:40So India today had already exposed how these fake job rackets are going on where people
01:46get lured and then they later realized that they have been conned and these 283 Indian
01:53nationals have been released, they have been repatriated and here it's very important to
01:58mention Sneha that the Ministry of External Affairs has said that we have to be very cautious
02:05because there are certain advisories, there are certain social media posts, how to get
02:11educated about these rackets, we need not get attracted and lured without verifying
02:15where we are traveling to for these fake jobs.
02:18So this is a part of the ongoing drive by the government of India to repatriate, to
02:24help all those who have been conned and they are in certain countries where the fake job
02:30offers were made to them.
02:31Alright, I'm going to thank you for the moment.
02:33Getting in those details is my colleague Shivani telling us about the fake job scam that has
02:39been busted.
