New Delhi: India has repatriated a second batch of 197 of its nationals from Thailand in two military aircraft, days after they fled to the Thai border town of Mae Sot from a notorious scam centre in Myanmar. The first batch of Indians, including 26 women, was brought back earlier this month.
The Indians were among 1,500 people from 28 countries who crossed over to Thailand late last month following the raid on the cybercrime hub of KK Park in the Myanmarese city of Myawaddy.
According to the Indian Embassy, the Indian nationals deported were detained in Mae Sot after they had recently crossed into Thailand from Myawaddy, Myanmar, where they were allegedly working in the cyber scam centres. They were detained by Thai authorities for violation of Thai immigration laws when they had entered the country illegally.
The Indian embassy in Thailand advised Indian nationals to verify the credentials of foreign employers and check the antecedents of recruiting agents and companies before taking up job offers overseas.
