Rajasthan MP Hanuman Beniwal, a vocal advocate for stranded citizens, has fired off letters to PM Modi, EAM Jaishankar, and Minister Kirti Vardhan Singh, demanding swift repatriation of Indians missing in Russia. Deceptive travel agents have allegedly tricked youth from northern states into joining Russian forces, sparking outrage and fear.

Families from affected regions converged at Beniwal’s home, their voices breaking as they described months of silence from war-torn areas. No news on locations, safety, or survival has left them in psychological torment. The Rashtriya Loktantrik Party chief listened intently, vowing to escalate the matter.

Drawing from Foreign Ministry disclosures, Beniwal noted 211 Indians involved: 27 dead, 121 returned, 63 lingering in limbo. He called for urgent intervention, regular briefings, and aid packages for relatives. This builds on his prior parliamentary push for accelerated diplomacy to evacuate students and workers duped into combat.

The scam’s mechanics are chilling—promises of lucrative civilian gigs dissolved into frontline duties in the Ukraine conflict. Rajasthan, alongside Haryana and others, bears heavy losses. Beniwal slammed the lack of oversight on agents preying on jobless youth.

As global tensions simmer, Beniwal’s plea spotlights India’s duty to its own. Will the government mount a full-scale rescue? Families cling to every update, their faith pinned on leaders in New Delhi. This crisis tests the limits of consular protection in an unpredictable world.
