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.

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.”
