Accused of being mercenary in Ukraine
IN the quiet town of Morbi, a mother's cry is echoing louder than the chaos of war. Her son, Sahil Majothi, who went to Russia to build a future, now stands accused of being a mercenary in the Ukraine war. However, his mother claims he was framed, trapped, and lured into the Russian Army after a false drug case destroyed his life.
The shocking saga unfolded after the Ukrainian Army released a video of his surrender. His family now pleads for justice, saying their son's dreams were crushed and turned into a battlefield nightmare.
