Myanmar love story11/8/2022 Trapped in Myawaddy, pockets of which, The Indian Express points out, are currently under the control of armed rebels, their lives were excruciating.Īlmost all the rescued men and women were from smaller cities of Tamil Nadu and while most of them were in their 20s, a couple of them were in their 40s as well. They had spent 45 days in Myanmar, where they had lived a life of little more than bonded labour, intimidation and fear. Karthik and Arul were among the 13 people, including a woman, who were rescued and brought back to India on October 5 by the Tamil Nadu government. Recruiters giving training inside the camp (Special Arrangement) MYANMAR LOVE STORY SOFTWAREApart from the photos posted of fictitious attractive women to draw them into chats, the illegal recruiters had developed a software to change location settings, so that if a target was in California, then the location of the ‘model’ would also appear to be at least somewhere in the US. Initial chats with the men helped the recruiters understand the financial background of the targets. Once the targets have invested large sums of money, they are blocked from the app, losing all of it,” he said.īoth Karthik and Arul said that the targets were found through Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and even dating apps. “The app appears to show increasing profits, which in turn entices the targets to put in more money. While Binance was an app easily available for download, Arul Murugan, another victim, added that Marathon was developed by their recruiters. “As soon as recruiters saw that the conversation had got to a place where enough trust had been built, they would take over the chat in order to talk the conned men into repeatedly investing in the apps.” Speaking to TNM, Karthik said that these chats were closely monitored by their ‘recruiters’ and the endgame was to get the men to invest money in cryptocurrency and bitcoin apps called Binance and Marathon. Then the chat would move to WhatsApp or Telegram where a fake friendship based on lies about living in Europe or the USA, a love-story of now-divorced biracial parents, was spun. Six Mizoram districts - Champhai, Siaha, Lawngtlai, Serchhip, Hnahthial and Saitual - share a 510 km-long international border with Myanmar's Chin state.Karthik’s job was to pretend to be either one of these models and chat up men until he built enough trust to give him their personal phone numbers. The majority of the refugees live in relief camps, while others are accommodated by their local relatives and some live in rented houses. Notably, altogether 30,401 people from Myanmar have crossed the international border and taken refuge in Mizoram after the neighbouring country's military ousted the elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi there in February last year, state Home Minister Lalchamliana informed the assembly last month.

Nearly 40 Myanmar nationals have been arrested between January and September this year in drug-related cases, a senior police officer said.

The accused hails from Tahan in the neighbouring country and has been booked under various sections of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, and the Foreigners Act, the state police said in a statement. Acting on a tip-off, a team from the Bawnkawn Police Station apprehended the person on Saturday and seized 10 grams of the narcotics substance.
