# Telangana Seeks Help for Indians Allegedly Trapped in Myanmar Scam Network 2026-08-06T19:51:57+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Telangana has asked the Ministry of External Affairs and India’s embassy in Myanmar to rescue two men allegedly trapped near Tar Le town, after they reported that 300 to 400 Indians, including about 30 women, were being held by cyber fraud syndicates. The Times of India reports that the men were promised data entry jobs in Thailand but were taken into Myanmar and forced to target people online. The men allege workers were confined, made to work up to 18 hours a day and, in the case of women, sexually exploited. A relative told the newspaper that syndicates were demanding Rs 10 lakh per person for release. The claims have not been independently verified, and the embassy’s response was not reported. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: cyber fraud, human trafficking, MEA, Myanmar, Telangana Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/telangana-seeks-help-for-indians-allegedly-trapped-in-myanmar-scam-network/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
