The Indian embassy in Moscow confirmed the death of Ravi Moun, who hailed from Matour village in Haryana's Kaithal district, his brother Ajay Moun said.
It may be recalled that Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his visit to Moscow recently took up the issue with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Mr. Putin accepted Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s request, made at a private dinner and ordered to discharge those wishing to return to India.
Ravi Moun went to Russia on January 13 after being "hired" for a transportation job but was inducted into the military, his brother claimed.
Ajay Moun wrote to the embassy on July 21 for information on his brother's whereabouts.
"The embassy told us that he has died," he said.
