His family said they received a call from the Russian police on October 20, but the information provided was unclear. Speaking to TNIE, his uncle said, “Later, his roommate informed the hostel warden about his disappearance, but now even the warden is not responding properly. We tried to reach out to the college authorities, but haven’t received any reply yet. We are completely in the dark about what has happened to him.” He also said that the university authorities seemed to suggest that he might have jumped into the river, though there has been no confirmation of this version. Around 10 p.m. on October 19, he had a video call with his mother and sister during which he wished them a happy Diwali. He was reportedly planning to return to India next month.
The family, who had sold their land to fund his medical education, is now desperately appealing for help. Relatives and villagers have contacted Union Minister Bhupendra Yadav, urging him to intervene and ensure swift action by Indian and Russian authorities. They have also appealed to the Alwar District Collector to coordinate with the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) for help in tracing the missing student.
