The involvement of human trafficking in the context of the Russia-Ukraine war raises several alarming concerns and complexities. The preditors take advantage of the misery of the people from all around and push them into Russia Ukraine war fire.
Well, in recent time, few Indian have been caught in this racket. The CBI on Tuesday has announced that it has arrested four people for trafficking Indian nationals to the Russia-Ukraine war zone.
The central agency said that Arun and Yesudas Junior, who live in Kerala’s Thiruvananthapuram, were arrested on Monday. Also, Nijil Jobi, who works as a temporary employee in the Russian Defence Ministry, and Anthony Michael, from Mumbai, were arrested on April 24 and are now in judicial custody.
These traffickers have been operating as an organized network and were luring Indian nationals through social media channels like YouTube and also through their local contacts and agents for highly paid jobs in Russia
Nijil was one of the key members of the network operating in Russia for facilitating the recruitment of Indian nationals in the Russian Army. Anthony was helping his co-accused, Faisal Baba, who is in Dubai, and others in Russia to get visas processed in Chennai and book airplane tickets for the victims to travel to Russia.
On the other hand, Arun and Yesudas were the main recruiters of Indian nationals.
It is not the first time when Indian are trapped in Russia- Ukraine war, earlier Gagandeep and six other Indian men were tricked by a travel agent into joining the Russian Army as “helpers” for the war in Ukraine, far from their homes. They were being forced to fight, even though they didn’t wanted to be there.
Now let’s decode, how human trafficing network works?
Various companies of private visa consultancy used to connect with Indians who were interested in jobs abroad by making videos through YouTube.
In the videos, they made it seem like everything was okay in Russia and that there were different kinds of jobs available in the Russian Army, such as being a helper, doing paperwork, and helping with evacuations from buildings destroyed in the war.
The Indian nationals were promised that they wouldn’t have to go to the border and fight in the war.
They were also told they’d get training for three months and be paid ₹40,000 during training, and ₹1 lakh after it’s done.
The Indians were pressured into military training after they were given misleading translations of documents. These documents said they had to either accept 10 years in prison or join the Russian army.
The CBI found that a visa consultancy company in Delhi sent about 180 Indians to Russia. Central agencies are now working to help them come back home.
