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.

"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.
