Asaduddin Owaisi has written to External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, seeking his intervention to help bring three Indians back from Russia who were allegedly duped by a job agent and sent to the war.
A dozen Indians, including three men from Telangana, were cheated by job agents who offered them work as security agents in Russia but are now being forced to take part in the war against Ukraine, claimed MP Asaduddin Owaisi. He has written to External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, seeking his intervention to help bring three Indians back from Russia who were allegedly duped by a job agent and sent to the war.
The Indians were sent to Russia, where they received basic weapons-handling training and were forced onto the battlefield. They were tricked into volunteering for the army and sent to fight in Mariupol, Kharkiv, and Donetsk.
Mr Owaisi, in a press conference, said, "Unemployed men from Telangana, Gujarat, Karnataka, Jammu and Kashmir and Uttar Pradesh were promised jobs by agents in Russia, where they were told that they would work as building security agents but were duped and sent to the battlefield. I met the families of these men in December last year who sought help from me. I've written to the External Affairs Minister and India's Ambassador to Russia to bring them back."
