A 21-year-old man from Chhattisgarh is reported missing in Russia, with the family claiming that he is being tortured to join the war and has sought government intervention to bring him home.
The embassy has confirmed that he is being detained, but they haven’t provided any clear details. “We are receiving calls. “Some are claiming he is involved in a drug-related case, while others suggest he may have died by suicide. We have no official or legal confirmation of anything. His sister then approached the Bilaspur district administration seeking help to bring him back. She has also written to the Prime Minister’s Office and the state Chief Minister seeking help.
He last spoke to the family on October 6 and there has been no contact with him since October 7, his sister said.
We are getting calls from various sources,” the sister said. We simply don’t know what is going on,” the sister said.
The local police have written to the Indian embassy citing the claim of his sister and are awaiting a response, a police officer said on Tuesday.
Bilaspur Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Rajnesh Singh said the police have received the girl’s complaint alleging that her brother was being detained in Russia. The administration has also approached the Ministry of External Affairs, he said, expressing hope for a positive outcome.
