An Indian student who travelled to Russia on a student visa reportedly ended up in Ukraine's war zone, leaving his family in distress. The student had paid approximately ₹3 lakh for visa documentation and travel arrangements. Details about how he was drawn into the conflict zone remain unclear, raising concerns about visa processing fraud and the safety of Indian students abroad.
