NEW DELHI: Two innocent young women of Indian origin lost their lives in separate unprovoked stabbings by foreigners in Nottingham and Wembley cities of the United Kingdom last Tuesday.
While Grace Kumar – a half-Indian, half-Irish woman – was stabbed to death along with two others by a man of African origin in Nottingham, Telangana native Tejaswini Reddy was attacked by her Brazilian flatmate in London’s suburban hamlet of Wembley.
Grace Kumar, aged 19, was a university student with a remarkable sporting talent, according to her friends. She played for England’s under-18 hockey team and was highly regarded as a competitive cricketer. Her untimely demise has devastated the sports community.

The incidents took place on the same day, Tuesday, and both attacks were seemingly random, perpetuated by individuals from other countries residing in the UK. The alarming similarity between these unprovoked attacks has heightened concerns among local communities.
Meanwhile, the community has come together to express their grief and solidarity. A vigil was held at St Peter’s Church in Nottingham, where students gathered to pay their respects and leave flowers in remembrance of the victims.
