New Delhi, March 9 (IANS) External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on Monday said she has spoken to the husband of Indian woman IT consultant Prabha Arun, who was stabbed to death near her home in Australia's Sydney city.
She said the Indian consulate in Sydney was providing all necessary help to the family.
Sushma Swaraj said in tweets that she has spoken to the victim's husband Arun Kumar, and he was satisfied with the assistance from the consulate.
"Sydney murder - I have just spoken to Mr Arun Kumar, husband of the victim. He is satisfied with the assistance from the consulate," she said. "I am in constant touch with our consulate in Sydney. The consulate is providing all help."
Prabha Arun was employed with Bengaluru-based tech firm MindTree.
Prabha Arun, in her 40s, was attacked at Amos Street in the western part of Sydney about 9.30 p.m. on Saturday, Australian police said on Sunday.
She was on the phone with her husband Arun Kumar, who lives in Bengaluru with their 10-year-old daughter, when she was stabbed. She was around 300 metres from her Westmead home when she was attacked.
Chillingly, the husband heard her tell him that "I think I've been stabbed", before she collapsed in a pool of blood. The phone line then went dead.
Arun Kumar has flown to Sydney to identify the body.
