One Indian national detained over telecom fraud



The government has been systematically identifying and investigating foreign nationals who entered and resided illegally in border areas and participated in unlawful activities, including online gambling and online scams. The authorities have transferred these individuals to their respective countries in accordance with existing laws and procedures.

In the latest case, an Indian national was found to have entered through illegal routes after transiting via neighbouring countries, including Thailand, and was located at a site near Myawady Township in Kayin State. Officials completed initial screening processes to facilitate deportation.

A combined departmental team has been collecting personal data and records required for the prompt repatriation of the detained foreign national. Assistant Director U Than Naing, from the Myawady District Management and Administration Body, inspected the ongoing documentation work and coordinated the necessary measures.

The government stated that it continues to cooperate actively with neighbouring countries, regional partners, and international organizations to identify, arrest, and take effective action against individuals involved in online scam centre operations and their foreign organizers. It also affirmed that foreign nationals facing hardship or those who were victims of human trafficking are being assisted and coordinated for swift repatriation.
