9 Indians killed/missing in New Zeland terror attack

The Indian envoy in New Zealand has said that nine persons from India have gone missing after an Australian based terrorist opened indiscriminate gunfire at two mosques in Christchurch on Friday, killing 49 people and injuring several others.

"As per updates received from multiple sources there are 9 missing persons of indian nationality/ origin. Official confirmation still awaited. Huge crime against humanity. Our prayers with their families," High Commissioner Sanjiv Kohli tweeted, as reported by NDTV.

AIMIM national president Asaduddin Owaisi has requested Telangana and Indian government to help the families of those killed/injured travel to New Zeland.

"I'm only requesting the immediate support of your good offices in expediting his visa process. He'll make all arrangements to travel to NZ by himself," said Owaisi.
