Kanpur : The wife of a Kanpur-based engineer has claimed that her husband was detained by police in Moscow and is being pressured to join the Russian military. Sneha Chandan Gupta, based in Moscow, shared a video on social media in which she said that her husband, Chandan Gupta, was taken into custody by Moscow police at around 12.30 pm on Sunday.
They are residents of Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, and Chandan works as an engineer. She said he is associated with a company based in Noida’s Sector 62 and had travelled to Russia on a work visa for an assignment. She appealed to the Indian government and the Uttar Pradesh government to intervene and help bring her husband back safely. Sneha claimed that her husband had not committed any wrongdoing but was nevertheless detained and taken to jail. She further claimed that after his detention, pressure was being put on him to join the Russian army.
However, there is currently no independent confirmation of the circumstances surrounding his detention, the allegations against him, or whether any formal process has been initiated to enlist him in the Russian military. In her video, Sneha appeared emotional while seeking help from the Indian government. She said she does not understand Russian and has therefore been unable to determine exactly what is happening to her husband or why he has been detained.
Chandan is reportedly working in Russia through an Indian company headquartered in Noida, which also has business operations in Russia. However, no official statement has so far emerged from the company, the Indian Embassy or Russian authorities confirming his detention or the allegation that he is being pressured to join the Russian military. The case comes amid previous concerns over Indian nationals travelling to Russia after being recruited for jobs and subsequently becoming involved in Russian military activities.
