27 Indians Rescued from Myanmar After Job Scam

Twenty-seven young men from Andhra Pradesh and Telangana were tricked into going to Myanmar with promises of good jobs.

Instead, they were forced to work in scams and had their passports taken away.

Their families couldn't contact them for weeks.

The Indian government helped bring them back home safely.

The men were scared and didn't know where they were.

Now, the government is warning people to be careful about job offers from unknown agents.

They will also investigate how this happened and help the men recover.
