Jordan: The Ministry of External affairs on Sunday said that an Indian national was shot and killed by the Jordanian security when he was allegedly trying to cross over into another country illegally.
The Indian Embassy in Jordan has mourned the demise of the national, and said it is working closely with the authorities for the transportation of the mortal remains of the deceased.
In a post on X, the embassy said, “The Embassy has learnt of the sad demise of an Indian national in unfortunate circumstances. The Embassy is in touch with the family of the deceased and is working closely with Jordanian authorities for transportation of mortal remains of the deceased.”
