Indian student hospitalised after being shot in Kyiv, Ukraine

An Indian student has been hospitalised after he was shot with a bullet in Kyiv, the capital city of Ukraine. His identity is not immediately known.

Minister of State (MoS) for civil aviation General VK Singh revealed the information at Poland’s Rzeszow airport on Thursday.

“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,” Gen Singh said.

In an earlier incident, an Indian student was killed in shelling in Kharkiv. Naveen Shekharappa Gyanagoudar, a fourth-year MBBS student at Kharkiv National Medical University was struck by a Russian rocket when he had stepped out to buy food.
