Sahil Majothi, an Indian student, was captured by Ukraine after being wrongfully accused of drug trafficking and forced to fight for Russia.

Sahil Majothi, a 22-year-old Indian man, was detained by Ukraine after being forced to join the Russian army to avoid a prison sentence following a drug trafficking charge. His mother claims that her son was wrongfully accused and sentenced to seven years in prison. In a video, Majothi states that he was recruited under pressure and promises of payment, but did not receive any money. The Indian government is investigating the case amid concerns about the forced recruitment of Indian citizens into the Russian army.
