India Airlifts First 270 From Thailand After Myanmar KK Park Raid

Indian agencies will screen returnees to separate trafficking victims from alleged perpetrators.

Overview

  • Two Indian Air Force flights repatriated 270 citizens, including 26 women, from Mae Sot, with additional flights planned to bring back more Indians.
  • Thai authorities report that 1,595 people from 28 countries fled into Mae Sot after the raid, with roughly 465 Indians forming the largest group.
  • The Indians were detained in Thailand for illegal entry, and the Embassy in Bangkok and Consulate in Chiang Mai coordinated their handover with Thai agencies.
  • On arrival in India, the group is being processed by investigative agencies to determine roles in the scam networks and to pursue legal action where warranted.
  • Myanmar state media and Thai military sources say parts of KK Park were demolished, though independent outlets report cyber scam operations persist around Myawaddy.
