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.

"The victim was only 26 years old and had reached US only 25 days back. He was working at the gas station of a family friend," the Minister said.


“On 6 April two miscreants entered the shop at 1.30 am. They snatched cash from victim and shot on his chest. This resulted in his death. We are coordinating with the investigative agencies. They have got the CCTV footage and are in the process of apprehending the culprits.”

“Our consulate in San Francisco is helping the family and following this up with the Police authorities,” Swaraj said in another tweet.
