Indian Who Died In Sudan Clashes Was Set To Return In May

Albert Augestine, a retired soldier, was hit by a stray bullet while he was standing near the window of his flat, his father told the media.

The Indian national who died of bullet injuries in the violence-hit Sudanese capital city of Khartoum two days ago was all set to return to Kerala's Kannur for a few days in May when the tragedy struck.

Albert Augestine, a retired soldier, had called his wife and daughter to Sudan a couple of weeks ago to celebrate Easter with them and had booked tickets to travel back with them on May 3.

However, on Saturday, April 15, a stray bullet hit him while he was standing near the window of his flat talking to his son in the UK, the victim's father told the media in Kannur.

Albert's wife and daughter, who were with him at the time, escaped unhurt and moved into a bunker under the flat.
