The city of Indore is in deep mourning after Sushil Nathaniel, a resident of Vina Nagar, was tragically killed in the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. The attack also left his daughter, Aakansha, wounded with a gunshot to her leg.

Sanjay Kumawat, Nathaniel’s brother-in-law, spoke about the tragic incident. He revealed that the terrorists had asked Nathaniel to recite the Islamic declaration of faith, “Kalma,” before shooting him when he failed to comply.

He added that Aakansha, Nathaniel’s daughter, was also injured in the attack. The family expressed their gratitude toward the Madhya Pradesh and Indian governments for their support, stating that authorities were in contact with them. Nathaniel’s body is expected to arrive in Indore by 5:30 PM, and his last rites will be held tomorrow.
