Haryana Man Studying In UK Stabbed To Death; Family, MLA Seek Support For Repatriation

A 30-year-old Indian-origin man was stabbed to death in Worcester, United Kingdom, on November 25. Vijay Kumar Sheoran hailed from Haryana’s Charkhi Dadri and had resigned from his job at the Central Board of Excise and Customs earlier this year to pursue higher studies.

While British police have not released any details about the incident, Vijay’s family in Haryana fears that someone from Haryana or Punjab may be involved in the crime.

The family has reached out to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), seeking help from the Indian High Commission in London to bring his mortal remains back as soon as possible.

Vijay’s brother, Ravi Kumar, who lives in Jagrambass village in the Badhra subdivision, has written to the MEA asking for urgent help.

“Our family is devastated by this incident. We request the MEA to help us in getting my brother’s body back for the last rites. Due to the complex legal formalities and documentation in the UK, it is difficult for us to manage on our own,” Ravi wrote.

He said Vijay had last served in Kochi before leaving his government job to study abroad. Ravi also requested help from Union Minister Manohar Lal Khattar and Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini.

MLA Urges Centre To Step In

Charkhi Dadri MLA Sunil Satpal Sangwan has also raised the matter publicly. In a post on X, he appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini and other officials to assist the family and ensure that Vijay’s mortal remains are brought home quickly.
