India, March 11 -- Indian embassies in Myanmar and Thailand, in coordination with local authorities, have secured the repatriation of 283 Indian nationals who were lured to various countries with fake job offers.

All the Indian nationals were repatriated to India by an Indian Air Force (IAF) aircraft from Mae Sot in Thailand, the Ministry of External Affairs said.

MEA said these persons were made to indulge in cybercrime and engage in other fraudulent activities in scam centres operating in regions along the Myanmar-Thailand border.
