12 Indians lodged in Armenia jail, 4 youths from Punjab and Haryana

Chandigarh: Days after videos of dozens of Indian youths lodged in Armenian jails surfaced, Rajya Sabha MP Balbir Singh Seechewal has contacted the homes of them and their families. They were allegedly crossing the Armenia-Georgia border illegally around February-March and were arrested by Armenian police.

Seechewal had shared a video of these youths on his Facebook page a few days ago. Most of the youths have been lodged in jail for the last three months and trials are going on there. In the video, he has said that he fears that he may be sentenced to three to six years in jail and has sought help from the Indian government.
