Indian In Russian Army : During his recent visit to Russia, PM Modi had raised the issue of Indian citizens in the Russian army in front of President Vladimir Putin. Now talks have started for the return of Indian citizens in the Russian army. At the same time, some claims are also being made by the families of Indian youths. According to the report of India Today Group, the families of the youths serving in the army have claimed that their children have been forcibly recruited. The parents of 23-year-old Harsh Kumar said that despite the intervention of the PM, the Russian army did not tell that he would be discharged. We are worried because the Russian authorities do not want to send him back home.
Reached Russia after getting trapped in the agent’s trap
Harsh, a resident of Karnal, left for Moscow on 23 December 2023, he met 6 other people from Kaithal. They were planning to enter Belarus, but an agent left them on the highway. During this, the police arrested them and handed them over to the army. They were told that if they joined the Russian army, they could avoid 10 years of jail for violating the visa. This has not happened with Harsh alone, but the same has happened with other youths of Haryana and Punjab. Ravi, Baldev, Rajinder, Sahil, Mandeep of Kaithal also went to Moscow in search of a job.
Balwinder, father of 24-year-old Gagandeep Singh, says that we are happy that PM Modi has raised this issue, but it has been more than a week, the boys have not been discharged yet. Gagandeep is a resident of Gurdaspur district. He left Gurdaspur on 24 December to join the Russian army.
Ravi of Kaithal and Tejpal Singh of Amritsar have died. Sahil is seriously injured. Ravi’s family said that their son is missing. Tejpal Singh was a resident of Amritsar. Analysis shows that those who joined the Russian army wanted to join the Indian Army earlier, but failed due to various reasons. Currently, talks are going on between India and Russia to bring back the Indian boys trapped in Russia. It is hoped that all of them will return to India.
