About this listen
An Indian national, Thomas Gabriel Perera, was killed while attempting to illegally cross from Jordan into Israel, lured by the false promise of a lucrative job. Perera and his brother-in-law, Edison Charlas, were deceived by an agent who promised high wages but ultimately directed them to cross the border illegally after they had already paid a significant sum. Jordanian soldiers shot at the men during the border crossing attempt, resulting in Perera's death and Charlas' subsequent hospitalisation and repatriation to India. The Indian Embassy in Jordan has acknowledged the tragedy and is assisting Perera's family with the repatriation of his remains. The men, originally from Kerala, were seeking better employment opportunities after working as auto-rickshaw drivers, but fell victim to a job scam. This incident highlights the dangers and exploitation faced by individuals seeking work abroad through unofficial channels.
