Congress student wing NSUI staged a protest outside Shastri Bhavan here on Wednesday demanding the safe and early evacuation of Indian students stranded in war-ravaged Ukraine. The protesters also demanded an apology from Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the death of an Indian student in Ukraine. In the first Indian casualty in the war in Ukraine, a medical student from Karnataka’s Haveri district was killed in intense shelling in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv on Tuesday.
