India has uncovered a major human trafficking network responsible for duping Indian nationals into fighting for Russia in the ongoing war against Ukraine. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has launched operations across several Indian states, busting the network that lured young men with promises of lucrative jobs in Russia, only to force them into combat roles upon arrival. The traffickers operated under the guise of visa consultancy firms and agents, offering job opportunities and, in some cases, educational discounts at private Russian universities with free or preferential visa extensions. The Indian government has taken strong action against the agents involved and has engaged with the Russian government for the early discharge of the Indian nationals. So far, about 35 men have been sent to Russia through this scheme, with reports of about 100 Indians recruited and known Indian deaths in the conflict.
