New Delhi: An Indian student, Harjot Singh, who was shot at in Ukraine’s capital Kyiv, will return home tomorrow under the ‘Operation Ganga’, tweeted Union Minister General VK Singh on Tuesday. 

“Harjot Singh is the Indian who was shot during the war in Kyiv. His passport was also lost in the chaos.Glad to inform that Harjot is reaching India with us tomorrow. Hope there is a speedy recovery with home food and care,” tweeted the Minister who is in Poland. He is one of the four ministers sent as special envoys to overlook the evacuation process of Indians who reach the bordering countries from Ukraine. 

 

हरजोत सिंह वह भारतीय हैं जिन्हें कीव में युद्ध के दौरान गोली लग गई थी। अफरातफरी में इनका पासपोर्ट भी गुम गया था।

सहर्ष सूचित कर रहा हूं कि हरजोत कल भारत हमारे साथ पहुंच रहे हैं।

आशा है घर के खाने और देखभाल के साथ शीघ्र स्वास्थ्यवर्धन होगा।#OperationGanga#NoIndianLeftBehind pic.twitter.com/NxOkD9mJ9U

Last month Harjot was trying to escape from Kyiv to Lviv via train but was unable to board as Ukrainian troops stopped him. He then took a taxi, with two other boys, when he was shot at multiple times and his leg got fractured.
