External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal answering questions in the press brief.
So far 12 Indians fighting on behalf of Russia have died in Ukraine. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal gave this information in the press briefing on Friday.
Spokesperson Jaiswal said that there have been 126 cases of Indian citizens joining the Russian Army. Of these, 96 people have returned to India. There are still 18 Indian citizens stranded there, out of which no information is available about 16. They are working for their early release and return to their home country.
Many Indians go to Russia in search of jobs. But due to the betrayal of the agents, they are trapped in the war. Recently, Binil Babu, an Indian citizen from Kerala, died on the Russia-Ukraine frontline.
Binil Babu of Kerala, who was fighting on behalf of Russia, died.
Indian government trying to bring back the body of Binil Babu who was killed in Russia Spokesperson Jaiswal said that the death of Binil Babu is very sad. We have spoken to his family. We are in touch with the Russian authorities. We are trying to bring back the body of Binil Babu as soon as possible.
Binil Babu (32 years) was a resident of Wadakkanchery in Thrissur district of Kerala. He had been requesting to return back to India for several months.
Spokesman Jaiswal said another Indian, Jain T Kurien, was injured. They are relatives of Binil. At present he is undergoing treatment. The Indian Embassy is in touch with them. As soon as his health improves, the process of bringing him back to India will begin.
Spokesperson Jaiswal said India has strongly raised the matter with Russia and reiterated its demand for the immediate withdrawal of all Indians from the Russian army.
Went to Russia in search of work, sent to fight war Binil and Kurien had gone to Russia in search of jobs. They got caught in this war in June 2024. They were given the task of delivering food to Russian soldiers in Ukrainian territory and digging trenches. Later the Russian army sent both of them to the frontline in the war.
Binil Babu’s brother-in-law Sanish Scaria had called his home a month ago and said that he might not be able to call him again, because he was going to Ukrainian territory to fight the war. Before going to Russia, Binil Babu was working as an electrician and Kurian mechanic.
Both these young men were promised jobs in Poland by a relative, but later they learned that they had actually been given visas to Russia. He had spent huge amount for visa and ticket. So he had to go to Russia. When Binil Babu left for Russia, his wife was pregnant.
CBI had arrested 4 accused India’s investigating agency CBI had arrested 4 people in April 2024 for fraudulently sending Indians to the Russia-Ukraine war. Three of these people were from India, while one was a translator working in the Defense Ministry of Russia.
All these people were part of a network in which Indians are trapped by luring them with jobs and good salaries through social media.
Jhansa- You will get salary of 1 lakh after 3 months training The investigating agency had told that visa consultancy companies target those people who want to work abroad. After this, YouTube videos are made to deceive them. It is shown that there is no effect of war in Russia and everyone is safe. After this, vacancies are shown in the Russian Army for the jobs of helper, clerk and evacuating buildings collapsed in the war.
It is told in the video that people taking jobs will not have to go to the border to fight the war. They will be given training for 3 months, during which they will get a salary of Rs 40 thousand. After completion of training the salary will be Rs 1 lakh.
‘If you do not join the Russian Army, you will be punished for 10 years’ When Indians fall into the trap of going to Russia, they are forcibly given military training. They are shown false documents, on which it is written that if they do not join the Russian Army, they will be sentenced to 10 years in jail.
