Udaipur Resident Claims Captivity and Forced Cyber‑Scam Work in Myanmar

A resident of Udaipur has alleged that he was seized while traveling abroad and taken to Myanmar, where he was detained for several weeks. According to his statement, local armed groups forced him to participate in cyber‑scam operations that targeted victims in India and other countries.
He says he was kept under constant surveillance, provided with computers and instructed to use encrypted messaging apps to coordinate fraudulent transactions. The man claims he was threatened with violence if he refused or tried to escape.
Indian authorities have been alerted to the allegation and are reportedly coordinating with Myanmar’s law‑enforcement agencies to verify the claim and locate the individual. No official confirmation of his whereabouts or the involvement of any criminal network has been released so far.
The case highlights growing concerns about cross‑border human‑trafficking rings that exploit Indian nationals for online fraud. Officials have urged citizens traveling to conflict‑prone regions to exercise caution and report any suspicious activity to the nearest Indian mission.
The investigation remains in its early stages, and the man’s family has appealed for his safe return while awaiting further updates from the authorities.
