The Indian Embassy in Phnom Penh has been actively rescuing Indian nationals from fraudulent job offers in Cambodia that lure them into cybercrime operations, the statement said.
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on Saturday that the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) is focused on ensuring the safety and well-being of Indian nationals in Bangladesh.
Amid the ongoing violence in Bangladesh, the High Commission of India in Dhaka and the Assistant High Commissions in Chittagong, Rajshahi, Sylhet and Khulna have been assisting the return of Indian nationals home following the recent developments there, the Ministry of External Affairs said.
Indian National Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge offered condolences on the demise of Nguyen Phu Trong, general secretary of Vietnam's ruling Communist Party, on Friday.
The Ministry of External Affairs said it has issued an advisory for the Indian nationals and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar is himself monitoring the situation.
The Ministry of External Affairs on Friday directed the Indian nationals in Bangladesh to follow the advisory issued by the High Commission of India in Dhaka, which says they must avoid local travels amid violent quota protests.
Tragically, the body of one Indian crew member has been recovered. The Indian government is closely monitoring the situation and ensuring all possible assistance for the affected families.
The advisory comes in response to recent violent clashes between students and police in Dhaka, following the Bangladeshi government's decision to close all public and private universities.
As of now, the mission has successfully rescued eight Indian nationals and one Sri Lankan from the stricken vessel. The Indian Navy continues to search for additional crew members who remain missing.
The embassy also issued condolences to those killed in the incident. The mission said it is working for the repatriation of the mortal remains of the deceased Indian national.
