The sudden disappearance of four Indian youths, who had gone from Uttar Pradesh to Russia in search of employment and a better future, has created an uproar among their families. The missing youth have not had any contact with their families for the last one and a half month (45 days). Family members allege that he was taken to Russia on the pretext of getting a job as a security guard or helper, but after reaching there, he was fraudulently recruited into the Russian Army and sent to the war zone. The victim families have appealed to the Central Government and the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), demanding the safe return of their sons to India.
According to the relatives of the missing youth, some fraudulent local and Delhi-based travel agents had lured them with the dream of easy jobs with high salaries in Russia. For this, families took loans and mortgaged their land and paid fees worth lakhs of rupees to the agents. However, when the youth reached Russia, their passports and mobile phones were confiscated. They were forced to sign contracts written in Russian language and were deployed on the front without any military training. The last time the youth had called their home, they had cried and told about the threat to their lives and said that they were not being allowed to return.
Since the loss of contact with these four youths of Uttar Pradesh stranded in Russia, there is an atmosphere of great anxiety in their villages and families. Family members say that their phones have been switched off for the past one and a half months and no news about their well-being is being received through any means. The victim’s families have appealed to the local district administration, the state government and the Ministry of External Affairs to track the locations of their sons and bring them back to their homeland. He has also written a letter to the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) demanding immediate diplomatic intervention through the Russian Embassy.
Uttar Pradesh Police and Central Investigation Agencies have also come on alert mode after this fraud and human trafficking racket going on in the name of providing jobs abroad came to light. Based on the complaint of the victims, the police have registered a case against the concerned agents and started investigation. Officials say that strict legal action will be taken against the gangs that fraudulently send Indian youth to war-torn areas. Also, central agencies have advised citizens to complete the process only through registered recruitment agents (Ministry of External Affairs Approved) before going abroad.
