Two Karnataka Youths Rescued from Chinese-Operated Scam Compound in MyanmarPreviousNext

Two youths from Karnataka were rescued from a Chinese-operated cyber scam compound in Myanmar's Kayin State near the Thailand border. The coordinated operation involved the Karnataka Cyber Command, Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre, Enforcement Directorate, and Indian Embassy in Myanmar, following intelligence from the Enforcement Directorate. The compound reportedly trafficked individuals to conduct online romance and investment scams. The rescued youths have been safely repatriated, and authorities have issued advisories cautioning against accepting suspicious overseas job offers.
