India takes up student's death issue with Russia

"I have given instructions to our embassy in Russia to send mortal remains of Yasir at the earliest," Sushma Swaraj said. On Tuesday, the minister tweeted that Yasir, who was in coma, was being treated by an Indian doctor at a trauma centre in Kazan.

This was in response to an SOS tweet to her about the attack which said that Yasir was in a state of coma after the attack by "local goons" and had lost all his money and documents. Sushma Swaraj also said that she had contacted India's Ambassador to Russia, Pankaj Saran, in this connection.
