A distraught family in Kashmir is waiting for the return of their son, who was tricked into fighting Russia's war against Ukraine. A job agent lured Azad Yousf Kumar and he ended up on the Ukraine border. The family said the 31-year-old was forced to fight the war and appealed to the government to intervene and help get their son back.
"We request the government of India for his safe return and to reach back his home safely. All Indian children should return safely," Asad Yousf's cousin said.
A skilled labourer in digging tube wells, Kumar is a resident of Poshwan in the Pulwama district. He is among the two Kashmiris who were duped into fighting for Russia in December last year. Days after getting "enlisted" in the Russian military, he suffered a gunshot wound in his foot.
