A Haryana youth, Mukesh, recounts his harrowing experience after being lured with a job promise in Germany but ending up in the Russian army. Sent to Bangkok first, then to Russia, he faced torture and threats from agents. Mukesh endured beatings and burns with cigarettes in the jungle for 16 days before being caught by the army. Given an ultimatum to join or face jail, he chose the latter. India has intervened, seeking discharge for trapped nationals. Amidst this, at least two Indians have died in the war against Ukraine, prompting calls for immediate action and repatriation.
