Media: russia to return fraudulently recruited Indian citizens

russia will discharge from service all Indians who have been forcibly or fraudulently mobilized into the russian army for the war in Ukraine.

The Indian media NDTV reported on this, citing its own sources.
Putin agreed to release all Indian citizens from military service after a meeting with the country’s prime minister in Moscow on July 9.

At least two Indians are known to have died during the war against Ukraine. However, the number of Indian citizens involved in the war in Ukraine may be much higher. In March of this year, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) of India exposed a human trafficking network that fraudulently trafficked people to russia for forced labor.

According to the investigation, a group of people, including three russian nationals, recruited Indians on the pretext of getting admission to private universities in russia. After reaching russia, the passports of these Indians were taken away and they were forced to fight the russian side against their will.
