Indian government has rescued and repatriated dozens of its citizens who were deceived into fighting for Russian forces in Ukraine. A total of 91 Indians, primarily from low-income backgrounds, were falsely promised employment and financial benefits. Instead, they were deployed to the war zone without proper military training, exposing them to life-threatening situations. Following urgent appeals, the government intervened, securing the release of several individuals, including former soldier Urgen Tamang. Efforts continue to bring back the remaining citizens, highlighting India's commitment to protecting its nationals from exploitation and harm. The incident has sparked concerns over human trafficking and exploitation.
