Manoj Singh Shekhawat

Manoj Singh Shekhawat, a 31-year-old Indian national from Jaipur, was lured by agents to Russia with the promise of a civilian job but was coerced into joining the Russian military. His family has been living in uncertainty since he vanished on the front lines in eastern Ukraine, where he last communicated with them on October 15, expressing fears for his life. Desperate for answers, his family has sought help from Indian authorities, highlighting the plight of many Indian nationals caught in similar circumstances.
