Several Indian students stranded in Ukraine have alleged that they were harassed and beaten by the Ukrainian guards at the Poland border while they were attempting to flee the country and that they were not allowed to cross over.
An Indian student, identified as Mansi Chaudhary, who was apparently camping at the Poland-Ukraine border was quoted as saying by NDTV, “Situation is getting worse day by day. What is happening is they are torturing us. Indian students are being tortured. They are not allowing us to cross over to Poland. Even women students are being harassed. They are being pulled by their hair and hit with rods. Some women students have suffered fractures and injuries.” Distressing videos have also emerged from the site showing Ukrainian guards harassing individuals at the border.
“Indian embassy diplomats are helping us with food and shelter. Border guards are not letting us cross. If someone tries to cross, they attack them with rods. They are punching them in the faces. Yesterday, they also opened fire. I am in the car and am going back to my hostel. Have been waiting for three days, but we were not allowed to cross over. We have been tortured like animals. They are letting their people to cross over but not us,” she was further quoted as saying.
