It has been almost four and a half months that Ganga Dhakal of Kavre Mandandeupur-6 has not had a good night's sleep. The memory of her son has bothered her in such a way that in the meantime she has problems with sleeplessness and tremors. On August 30th, he reached Moscow, Russia, to study, but he fell into the trap of organized human traffickers and ended up being recruited into the Russian army.
Immediately after his recruitment, a video was released on social media on November 27, in which he appeared to be held hostage by the Ukrainian army.
Before going to the battlefield, Siddharth has been sending an audio message to Baama on social media messenger . In which he said that he had a bad dream at night and asked him to light a lamp in his name and pray. Every day since hearing the news of her son, Ganga has been lighting a lamp in the pujakotha inside the house so that her son will be released safely.
She will say, 'She is worried about what has happened to her son.' Ganga nowadays whenever she thinks about her son, she looks at her son's photo and listens to audio messages. At this time, he is even more anxious. She said, 'What will happen? How will it happen?
seven Nepalis who joined the Russian army and fought against the Ukrainians, like Siddharth, are now prisoners of war. Among them are Vivek Khatri of Bardia, Sirdhath Dhakal of Kavre, Vikas Rai of Morang, Pratik Pun of Rolpa and Ishwar Lamichhane of Gorkha, Sujan Subedi of Chitwan, Lalitsingh Doval of Darchula.
Even though the government is taking initiatives to release the Nepali prisoners of war, it is not getting any results. It has been confirmed that 32 Nepalis who joined the Russian army and went to fight with Ukraine have died.
Similarly, at least 96 of those who have joined the Russian army are not in contact with their Nepalese families, and around 450 families of those who have been recruited have already applied to the consular department under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs asking for a search.
