However, upon arrival, his passport was confiscated, and he was held captive in a scam center, where he was forced to engage in various financial fraudulent activities, such as scamming money through mobile phones and the Internet. Despite several attempts, she failed to escape from there.
Eventually, on May 20, 2026, she managed to escape from the scam center, avoiding the attention of the agents. She took shelter at an undisclosed location and directly contacted the Minister for Migrant Welfare and Foreign Employment, Ariful Haq Choudhary, through a WhatsApp call to seek assistance in returning home.
On receiving the call, the minister contacted the Labor Counselor of the Bangkok Embassy and instructed him to help the woman. Embassy officials confirmed her location through a video call and rescued her from downtown Phnom Penh with the help of the Bangladeshi community in Cambodia. The Bangkok Embassy has indicated that efforts are currently underway to repatriate him to Bangladesh by issuing a travel pass in cooperation with the Cambodian government.
