The Indian government confirmed that Binil T.B. a 32-year-old from Kerala sadly died while working for the Russian army in Ukraine. He went to Russia with his cousin-in-law Jain T.K. back in April for electrician and plumbing jobs. But they actually ended up in the army. It seems Binil and Jain were injured in a drone attack before Binil’s death.
The government also said that Jain T.K. was injured in the same attack. It looks like neither man was working as an electrician or plumber they were actually in combat. Now the government is trying to figure out how these two ended up fighting for the Russian army instead of doing the jobs they were promised.
This situation shows the dangers that people can face when they take jobs overseas. Sometimes the jobs aren’t what they seem and it can put people in very risky situations like being involved in conflict. The Indian government is trying to find out how these guys were recruited and is checking on the well-being of other Indians in similar positions. People should be careful when accepting job offers abroad and make sure they understand the situation.
