Ukraine-Russia war: Indian who was shot in Kyiv returning to India today

Indian student Harjot Singh who was shot in Ukraine's capital Kyiv a few days ago is returning to Delhi today, Union Minister of State for Civil Aviation V K Singh said.

His family in Delhi said they are "very very happy" that he is returning and are eagerly awaiting his arrival.

"Harjot Singh is the Indian who was shot during the war in Kyiv. His passport was also lost in the chaos," V K Singh tweeted.

He said Harjot Singh is reaching India with him on Monday.

On February 27, 31-year-old Harjot Singh, along with his two friends, boarded a cab for the western Ukrainian city of Lviv in a bid to escape Kyiv. He received four bullets, including one in the chest.

On March 1, medical student Naveen SG from Karnataka was killed in shelling in Ukrainian city of Kharkiv when he ventured out to buy food for himself and fellow students.
