Human Trafficking of Indian Men to Fight for Russia in Ukraine

The Indian Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has opened a case against a major human trafficking network luring Indian men to fight for Russia in Ukraine. Victims were tricked into military service under false pretenses, resulting in deaths and injuries. The CBI has confiscated money, detained suspects, and raided multiple locations. The Indian Foreign Ministry is working to secure the return of Indian nationals and has raised the issue with the Russian government. Similar cases have been reported in Nepal and Cuba.
