A Tamil Nadu doctor, K Jagadeeswaran, remains stranded in Russia after being detained by authorities in Sochi. Despite his release from custody, he lacks proper documentation to travel to Moscow for repatriation to India. His wife Yamini has appealed to both Central and State governments for immediate intervention, revealing that her husband endured mistreatment during detention, resulting in deteriorating health. The doctor, who holds a degree from an Armenian University and speaks Russian fluently, was detained after accompanying a friend on what was supposed to be a routine visit to Russia.
