Worried families seek return of relatives trapped in warzone after false promises from agent.

At least 20 Indian citizens are trapped on the front lines of the war in Ukraine after being tricked into travelling to Russia and then forced to join the army.

Relatives of some of those who have been sent to fight told The Telegraph that their loved ones had been lured to the United Arab Emirates by the promise of a job in Dubai, only to be transferred to Russia.

In a two-story house in Poshwan village on the Indian side of Kashmir, Raja Begum, 65, yearns for her son’s safe return.

Her son, Azad Yousuf Kumar, 31, travelled to the UAE last December after being promised a
housekeeping job by an independent consultant, Faisal Khan.

The agent, who is originally from India but settled in the Middle East, regularly posts such
opportunities on his YouTube channel, Baba Vlogs.
