London stabbing: Man charged with murder of Indian woman; protest in politics.

Kirandeep Kaur, an Indian student, was found dead at her residence in London after being stabbed. Her parents, who sold land to fund her education, believe the attack was racially motivated and have asked the Indian government for help in repatriating her body.

The grieving family has urged authorities to conduct a thorough investigation into the circumstances of her death, which they suspect was a hate crime. They have also sought urgent assistance from the Indian government to bring her remains back to India for last rites.

A man has been arrested and charged with murder in connection with the incident. The case has drawn attention to the safety of Indian students abroad, with community members calling for better protection and support.

The Indian High Commission in London is reported to be in touch with the family and local authorities to facilitate the repatriation process. The family awaits the completion of legal formalities before the body can be flown back to India.
