What you should know
It has been a year since the Ukrainian army took control of 25-year-old Vivek Khatri of Manabripur, Rajapur Municipality-1. The family is very worried that the government has not taken any initiative for his release so far.
His mother Indra Devi said that Vivek had last sent an SMS on his mobile phone in the last week of last Bhadra, saying that he was fine and that the government should take the initiative for his early release. ‘My son is not allowed to call,’ she said, ‘That is why the SMS came after a long time.’
Indra Devi complains that there is no leader to convey the news to the government to rescue her son. Vivek is the eldest son of the family. He had a low income and went to Russia on October 23, 2022, saying that he would study and earn money.
Vivek, who had gone for graduate studies, was studying at the College of Technology and Finance in Moscow, Russia. ‘We were not aware that Vivek had joined the Russian army,’ she said, ‘He may have worked for the Russian army because of someone’s whims.’
It has been a year since the family requested the government to rescue Vivek. For some time, the family did not make the incident of Vivek's imprisonment public. The family was afraid that making it public would affect Vivek.
Meanwhile, Vivek's mother Indradevi is a patient of long-term paralysis. She, who has paralysis of her legs, became even more upset after receiving the bad news about her son.
Vivek had reached Russia through NEO Nepal Educational Consultants in Tinkune, Kathmandu. The news that Vivek, who had gone abroad saying, 'I will earn while studying and treat my mother', was taken into custody by the Ukrainian army has come as a shock to his family. After going to Russia, Vivek had sent 35 thousand rupees home. Then the news of his imprisonment came. Since then, nothing has increased in the family except worry and tension.
