Desperate Hunt for Missing Brother: Indian Man Returns to Russia
Jagdeep Kumar, a resident of India, is embarking on a second trip to Russia in his relentless search for his brother, missing for 18 grueling months. His previous attempt was fraught with difficulties, hampered by significant language barriers and exorbitant costs.
This time, however, Mr. Kumar is better equipped. He has secured crucial assistance from the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), providing him with much-needed support and resources. A local Congress leader has also stepped forward to aid his efforts.
Mr. Kumar firmly believes his brother fell victim to a deceptive recruitment scheme. He suspects a travel agent lured his sibling into joining the Russian army under false pretenses. The family is clinging to hope that this trip will finally bring them answers.
The case highlights the vulnerability of Indian citizens abroad and the critical need for robust support systems from the government to assist those facing such distressing situations. The outcome of Mr. Kumar’s journey will undoubtedly serve as a case study for future initiatives aimed at protecting Indian nationals from similar exploitation.
