Indian student from Haryana fatally stabbed in the UK; investigation underway.
A 30-year-old Indian student from Haryana was fatally stabbed in Worcester, United Kingdom, on November 25, according to a statement by West Mercia Police. Vijay Kumar Sheoran of Charkhi Dadri was found with life-threatening injuries on Barbourne Road and was immediately taken to hospital, where he later succumbed to his wounds. Five men were arrested in connection with the attack but have since been released on bail as the investigation proceeds.
