More than 100 South Asians, including over 60 Indians have been detained in Thailand while being trafficked to Greece via sea, the police said here.

The men were nabbed in a series of police raids in Bangkok and the southern coastal Thai province of Songkla. They had illegally entered Thailand where they were waiting to board a ship bound for Greece. Four foreigners accused of organising the human trafficking have also been arrested, the police added.

In Bangkok, the police raided two guesthouses in the city’s Indian quarter of Phahurat and arrested 62 Indians and two Nepali citizens who were about to board a ship bound for Greece, they added.

Indian embassy officials said human traffickers were using Thailand as a transit point for taking illegal Indian immigrants to Europe.

Thai authorities first raided a ship docked in the port of Songkla on the Gulf of Thailand and arrested 22 Sri Lankans and Indians who were hiding in the vessel. The owner of the vessel, a Sri Lankan national and a Ukranian and a Greek captain have also been detained.

Another group of 20 Sri Lankans waiting to board the ship were arrested from a house in Hat Yai district in Songkhla province, the police said.
