Oman: A 28-year-old pregnant Indian who was working in Oman as nurse was murdered by an unknown assailant in a suspect case of attempted robbery. External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj on Thursday said, “an Indian national working as a nurse in Oman was stabbed to death and has asked Indian Ambassador for a report on the matter.”
Ms Chikku married to Linson Thomas, a male nurse in the same hospital. Mr Thomas found his wife dead when he reached home after duty. “Relatives of Mr Thomas working in Oman have gone to Salalah and we are waiting for information from them. We are utterly shocked by the incident,” he said. Chikku’s body will be flown to India soon and was three months pregnant, according to her relatives.
“I am sorry to know about the murder of Ms Chikku Robert – an Indian national from Kerala working as a nurse in Oman. I have asked Indian Ambassador to ascertain all the facts and report. My heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family,” Swaraj tweeted.
