300 Indians rescued from Myanmar scam centers, flown home via Thailand

IndiaTimes Monday, 10 March 2025 ()
Nearly 300 Indians returned home via Thailand after being rescued from scam centers in Myanmar. A crackdown, mainly targeting Chinese-run fraud hubs, has led to the release of 7,000 workers. India deployed a C-17 aircraft for repatriation, with more to follow. These scam centers exploit foreign workers for online fraud. While India welcomed its citizens, China treated its repatriated nationals as criminal suspects.
