An Indian student has been hospitalised after he was shot with a bullet in Kyiv, the capital city of Ukraine, news agency ANI reported. Last week, an Indian student lost his life in the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
At Poland’s Rzeszow airport on Thursday, Minister of State (MoS) for Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA) General VK Singh told ANI, “A student from Kyiv was reported to have been shot and was immediately admitted to the hospital in Kyiv.”
“The Indian embassy had earlier cleared on the priority that everyone should leave Kyiv. In the event of war, the gun bullet does not look at anyone’s religion and nationality,” he added.
Currently, the Indians, most of them students are fleeing the war-hit country and trying to reach the border of Poland for their safe return to India.
Four Union Ministers, Hardeep Singh Puri, Jyotiraditya M Scindia, Kiren Rijiju and Gen (Retd) VK Singh have gone to neighbouring countries of Ukraine to oversee the evacuation operations.
