MBABANE:Indian police allegedly killed Sisonke Nkambule, a University student who was studying in the Asian country merely because of his skin colour.
It has been disclosed that, the police were searching for a theft suspect and the University student was found on the streets, grabbed and dragged to the Police Station where he was detained and heavily assaulted.
The University student was subsequently released after it was discovered that he committed no crime but unfortunately, he died a few days later due to serious injuries.
It is alleged that, the alleged racist Indian cops grabbed Nkambule on suspicion that he was the one who committed the crime because he came from Africa saying Africans are known for stealing.
Eswatini Foreign Minister Pholile Dlamini-Shakantu released a statement on Saturday, confirming the death of the student but, urged emaSwati to remain calm.
The Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation released the statement after emaSwati threatened Indians living in eSwatini.
“We urge all citizens to remain calm and avoid such incitement”, said the eSwatini Foreign Minister.
