Telangana man allegedly forced into Russian military service after seeking gardening job

A Telangana resident, Gonela Parsharamulu, has reportedly been deployed to the Russia-Ukraine war zone after being misled by a recruitment agent. The man traveled to Russia in January for a gardening job but was allegedly forced into military service instead. His wife, Sirisha, stated that Parsharamulu paid 2.5 lakh rupees to a Karimnagar-based agent for the position. Before losing contact on July 31, he sent photos in a <b>military uniform</b>, claiming he was <b>fraudulently recruited</b> into the Russian Army. The family has had no communication with him for over three months. The family has now appealed to the Central and Telangana governments for urgent intervention to trace him and ensure his safe return. They remain deeply concerned about his current whereabouts and safety as the matter remains unresolved.
