Karnataka Youths Rescued from Chinese Scam Compound in Myanmar

Two young men from Karnataka were rescued by local authorities in Myanmar after a sting operation uncovered a Chinese‑run scam compound that had lured them with promises of employment. The compound, located near the border region, was used to recruit foreign nationals for low‑wage jobs that never materialised. Police seized documents and evidence of the scheme, and the youths were escorted back to India for further assistance. The incident has raised concerns about cross‑border scams targeting Indian workers and prompted calls for tighter cooperation between Indian and Myanmar law‑enforcement agencies.
