Hyderabad, Jan 22 (PTI) AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi on Thursday requested External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar to ensure the rescue of nearly 16 Indians, including three from Hyderabad, who were enslaved on Myanmar-Thailand border after being promised jobs.

Owaisi said he got the information about Mir Sajjad Ali, a resident of Osman Nagar, Hyderabad, currently incarcerated at the Myanmar-Thailand border.

“Two others with him (Mir Sajjad Ali) are from Maula Ali and Banjara Hills (in Hyderabad),” the AIMIM chief said.

The Hyderabad MP in a post on ‘X’ said : “I have received a distressing message: at least 16 Indian nationals, including three from Hyderabad, were promised jobs in Thailand but taken to the Myanmar-Thailand border and enslaved”.

They are forced to work 18-20 hours daily, physically punished, and deprived of passports, phones, and medical facilities, he said.
