New Delhi, Apr 8 (IBNS) : External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on Saturday said that a 26-year-old Indian national had been shot dead in Washington on Thursday.

Swaraj said in a series of tweets that Indian is coordinating with the US investigating agency as a probe is underway.

“I have received a report on the shootout incident resulting in the tragic death of Indian national Vikram Jaryal in Washington State USA,” she tweeted.
