91 Indians were duped into fighting for Russian forces in the country's war with Ukraine .

Most of them were lured by agents with the promise of money and jobs, sometimes as "helpers" in the Russian army.

Many of them said they were stationed in parts of Ukraine under Russian control, where they had to navigate landmines, drones, missiles and sniper attacks.

Nine Indians have died in the conflict and Indian authorities say they have arrested 19 people for human trafficking.

In February , Mr Kumar had told the BBC how he had shot his foot by mistake during training.

Now back in Kashmir , he talks about how his commander had accused him of deliberately shooting himself to avoid going to the frontline.

"I am lucky I did not go to fight. Four men from my camp died in an attack at that time," he said.
