| (PTI): One of the five Border Roads Organisation personnel injured in an attack by Taliban militia in Afghanistan on Saturday was on Sunday shifted to Iran as his condition became critical. The condition of Anil Kumar Thampee deteriorated and he was moved from Nimroz for special treatment, official sources told PTI. The remaining injured were under medical treatment at Nimroz, they said. Meanwhile, a plane was sent to Nimroz to bring the bodies of two BRO personnel killed in the militant attack. But it could not take off due to some reasons, they said. The bodies are expected to be taken to Kabul before they are brought home. Suspected Taliban extremists targeted Indian construction workers in southwest Afghanistan, killing two personnel of Border Roads Organisation (BRO) and injuring five in a suicide attack. M P Singh and C Govindaswamy were killed on the spot. Besides Thampee, others injured in the attack are Bishram Oroan, Vikram Singh, Muhammad Nazin Khan and Mayaram. |
