Telangana Families Seek Return of Men Allegedly Misled Into Russian Military Service

Four men from Telangana who traveled to Russia in search of employment have reportedly ended up caught in the country's military service instead. According to their families, the men were originally promised civilian jobs but were instead allegedly recruited into the Russian military.

Some of the men are reportedly being held at military camps, where their mobile phones have been confiscated and their movements heavily restricted.

Desperate for their safe return, the families of the affected men have approached both the Telangana state government and the Indian Ministry of External Affairs. They are pleading for official intervention to secure the release and safe repatriation of their loved ones.

In response, the Telangana government has instructed officials to coordinate with the Indian Embassy in Moscow. To support their claims, the families have also submitted official documentation detailing the civilian jobs the men were initially promised before leaving for Russia.

Despite the allegations, there are currently no reports of any First Information Reports (FIRs) filed or arrests made against the local recruiters in Telangana who arranged the travel and employment offers.
