Indian agencies investigate Indians brought back from Thailand after fleeing Myanmar scam centre

Indian investigating agencies questioned the Indian nationals who were brought back home from Thailand, days after they fled to the Thai border town of Mae Sot from a notorious scam centre in Myanmar following a crackdown, government sources said on Sunday.

The 270 Indian nationals, including 26 women, were brought back from Thailand in two C-130J Super Hercules transport aircraft of the Indian Air Force on Thursday.

The Indians were made to pay a fine by Thai authorities as they crossed over to Thailand illegally from Myanmar’s Myawaddy town, the sources said.
