India is set to repatriate approximately 500 of its nationals who escaped a notorious cybercrime hub in Myanmar and sought refuge in Thailand, according to Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul. The announcement came on Wednesday, following a military raid by Myanmar forces on the KK Park compound, a well-known center for transnational cyber scams. The operation, which began last week, forced hundreds of foreign workers, including Indians, to flee across the border into the Thai town of Mae Sot. Over 1,500 individuals from 28 countries are currently being sheltered by Thai authorities. Prime Minister Anutin stated that the Indian ambassador will collaborate with Thai immigration officials to expedite the legal verification process for the repatriation. An Indian aircraft is expected to land directly in Mae Sot to transport the victims back home. This marks the second such operation this year, as India previously repatriated thousands of its citizens from similar scam centers along the Thai-Myanmar border. The KK Park compound, operated primarily by Chinese criminal gangs and guarded by Myanmar-aligned militia groups, has long been a hub for online fraud and human trafficking. The United Nations estimates that billions of dollars have been generated from these illegal activities, with hundreds of thousands of people coerced into working in these centers since the COVID-19 pandemic.
