Kurukshetra man stabbed to death in Germany, had planned to visit home on Diwali

A 25-year-old man, Vishu Sharma, from Kurukshetra was allegedly stabbed to death in Frankfurt, Germany, on Tuesday, according to his family. The motive for the murder remains unknown. Vishu last communicated with his family on Monday, and his father, Neeraj Sharma, discovered his death on Wednesday morning through his roommate, Gaurav.

Neeraj mentioned that Vishu sustained injuries and that Gaurav switched off Vishu's phone shortly after. To identify Vishu, Neeraj's relative in Germany visited the hospital. Vishu had planned to return home for Diwali, having left for Portugal in November 2022, where his family had invested around ₹20 lakh and sold a piece of land to fund his journey in search of a better job.

After a year, Vishu relocated to France, where he underwent six months of military training in the French Army before returning to Germany and starting work in the delivery industry. His sister, Noni, had already sent him a Rakhi and had promised to give him a ring during Raksha Bandhan. Vishu's uncle, Nitin Bhardwaj, stated that the family is now finalizing the necessary steps to bring Vishu's body back to India.
