Indians in Myanmar who were assaulted and forced to do illegal work have sought the centre to intervene and rescue them. Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin has also written to PM Modi regarding the same.
In a video sent by the Tamils from Myanmar, the men said, “We are the people who are stuck in Thailand. But we are not in Thailand, we were brought to Myanmar. They are making us do scams. By scam we mean they are involved in scamming in many countries, including India.
“We are not interested in doing this, and if we say we are not interested, then they physically assault us, use electric shock on us and say we will be taken to military control. We are here without any other choice,” added the victim.

Another person said, “I told them I was not interested in doing this and told them I wanted to go back home. So, they asked me to pay Rs 4 lakh and, for that, I asked them for 10 days. Today, three Chinese men came into the room and used an electric shock stick on me and beat me up.
He added, “I injured my head with five stitches and they ripped my ear, for which there are nine stitches. I am not able to live here. They are torturing me and have asked me to still come to work.”
In Tamil Nadu's Kumbakonam, the mother of a man named Hariharan (21), who is stuck in Myanmar, said that he had gone to Thailand and he went there with the intention of making money to pay off loans.
