Kathmandu. Recently, a large number of Nepali citizens have been held hostage by organized criminal groups running online fraud and scamming centers in the border areas of Thailand, Laos and Myanmar and Cambodia.

Similarly, 309 Nepali citizens are currently in the process of rescue.
Similarly, the court of Myanmar has sentenced 18 Nepalis to one year of imprisonment for illegal entry. In this regard, the Nepalese ambassador in Yangon, Harishchandra Ghimire, met and discussed with Myanmar government officials, according to the ministry.
