New Delhi, Nov  5 (IBNS): Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj has condoled the killing of a Indian-origin Kenyan national Bunty Shah in Nairobi city of Kenya recently.

She also assured helping the family of the deceased.

Shah was killed in police firing last month.

Replying to a tweet posted by Netra Parikh, Swaraj said: "The deceased Bunty Shah was a Kenyan national of Indian origin. Kenyan security forces were conducting anti terror operations on the building across Shah's residence. Bunty thought this as an intrusion by armed burglars and fired in the air."

She said: "The security forces returned the fire resulting in Bunty's death. Kenyan Police have regretted the incident. "

Swaraj said: "Indian High Commission will provide all help and assistance to the family. My heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family."
