He went to St. Petersburg and ended up in the war: in Russia "a student from India disappeared-media (photo)

To spread: a man from the Indian state of Uttarakhand joined St. Petersburg University, but was soon sent to the front within the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. He managed to tell his relatives that he did not have documents and went through the connection with him. A 30-year-old resident of UDHAM Singh-Nargar in India Rakshche Kumar went to Russia on August 7, receiving a training visa. He told his family that he had successfully got his destination, but did not come to study at St.

Petersburg University. Its history was shared on September 23 in The Times of India. Within a few days, Kumar began to hint his relatives, which is in a difficult situation and everything is not planned. His older brother, Dipa Mauria, remembered the last conversation that took place on August 30. The Indian said that he was forcibly called up in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and wanted to send to the war in Ukraine. After the alarming call, Kumar's phone was disconnected.

However, soon the family received his photograph in military uniform, which confirmed their worst suspicions. In a few days, the man called from an unknown Russian number. In a conversation, which is described as "short and agitated", he said that his passport and other personal documents were taken away. In addition, his official emails were deleted. According to Kumar, he was sent to study in the Donbass, after which he was sent to the front.

This conversation was the last news of the fate of the Indian received by the family. "We are very worried about his safety. We don't even know if he is alive. We just want the government to return him home whole and unharmed," Mauria emphasized. Since the beginning of the month, the Kumar family cannot contact him and desperately needs help. She wrote a letter to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of India, addressed local officials and embassies in Moscow, trying to return her husband home.

The media noted that this case is not the first in the last months. At least 20 India citizens claim that they were deceived to Russia allegedly to study or work, and then forced to enter the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Their families are begging for the road at home. The Embassy of India in Moscow called not to go to the country through unverified agents or after empty promises, and the Foreign Ministry reported diplomatic efforts to return its citizens.

We will remind, the Ukrainian military captured a foreigner near Vovchansk, who was a track and field at Kenya. His relatives told that a man went to Russia as an athlete for a competition, but mistakenly signed a contract with the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, entrusting the local resident. For the first time, the Ukrainian soldiers seized the invaders an unexpected "trophy" - a living donkey.
