AMARAVATI: Fifty-five people from Andhra Pradesh are among 370 Indian nationals repatriated from Thailand after they were rescued from cybercrime hubs in Myanmar.

Three flights carrying the Indians landed in Delhi.

According to Andhra Pradesh government officials, all 55 belong to Vijayawada and Visakhapatnam.

The officials from AP Bhavan in Delhi received them from the Government of India officials and brought them safely to AP Bhavan. They were provided with temporary accommodation and food.

Since their mobile phones were seized in Myanmar and they had no money, the repatriates were in a distressed condition. The state government extended assistance of Rs 1, 000 per person to support their miscellaneous expenses during onward travel.
