InCl3 and hydride source as reducing agent for nitroalkene to nitroalkane?

looking for references - I do not want to use NaBH4 as a reducing agent, as I have loads of InCl3. InCl3 and Et3SiH has been used for reductive amination [O.-Y. Lee, K.-L. Law, C.-Y. Ho, D. Yang, J. Org. Chem., 2008, 73, 8829-8837], hence it does seem like a good candidate
