Indian Men Forced to Fight in Ukraine War Zone, Families Seek Justice

India's embassy in Moscow has confirmed the death of a citizen recruited by the Russian army to fight in Ukraine, marking the first confirmed death among Indian citizens serving with the Russian army. The deceased, Mohammed Asfan, had reportedly been promised a non-combatant role but was deployed to the frontlines, where he was allegedly wounded by a bullet. This revelation comes amid reports of Indian recruits being lured into joining the Russian army with promises of high salaries and a Russian passport before being sent to Ukraine.
