Well-Paying Foreign Job Becomes 36 Days Of Hell | I Witness
Twenty-one-year-old Sachin from Gurgaon went looking for a data entry job paying ₹80,000 a month and ended up illegally trafficked into KK Park, Myanmar. It is one of the world's largest cybercrime and human trafficking compounds, estimated to hold 19,000 Indians alone, with one guarded exit and no way out without paying a ransom. Lured through Telegram by a chain of contacts, transported through jungle routes by armed men, and presented with a forced bond on arrival, Sachin refused to comply and his family paid ₹4 lakh to secure his release. He escaped when the Myanmar army bombed KK Park in October 2024, and was deported with 270 other Indians. His account of locked compounds, armed guards, starvation used as punishment, and an entire criminal ecosystem built on trafficked labour is not an isolated incident. It is the operating model of an international industry, and for thousands still inside, the bombing changed nothing.
