An Indian student, who was allegedly brutally assaulted in Poland and was claimed to have died, has survived the attack, according to external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj.
Swaraj spoke to the Indian ambassador to Poland Ajay Bisaria on Friday regarding the assault on an Indian student in Poznan city whose name was not disclosed.

In a tweet, Swaraj said, “I have just spoken to the Indian Ambassador in Poland and asked for a report.”
Bisaria had earlier tweeted, “Prelim enquiry suggests student attacked in Poznan tram on Wed. Thank God, he survived. Getting details.”
This development comes nearly a month after an Indian engineer Srinivas Kuchibhotla was shot dead in a racially motivated incident in US’ Kansas City.

Earlier in the day, two Indian nationals who had been abducted earlier in March by South Sudan rebels were released after the Indian government intervened in the matter. Swaraj had tweeted a photograph of the two Indians from Tamil Nadu saying: “I am happy to inform about the release of two Indian nationals Midhun and Edward who were abducted in South Sudan.”
More details on the incident is awaited.
