A Jalandhar man, Mandeep Kumar, who went to Russia for a job, has been allegedly tricked into joining the Russian Army by travel agents and handlers. His family claims he was stranded, beaten, and threatened for money. Mandeep, who has a physical disability, was last heard from on March 3, saying he feared for his life and was forced to wear a uniform and carry a gun. His family has appealed to the authorities to bring him back safely and retrieve the money paid to the agents. The family alleges that at least 40 other Punjabi youths are also trapped in similar circumstances.
