Five Indians missing, 2 injured in Christchurch shootout: Sources


New Delhi, Mar 16 (UNI) The dastardly terror attack in Christchurch in New Zealand has left two Indians injured and five people missing, official sources said here on Saturday.
Denouncing the Friday's attack, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said hatred and violence cannot have any place in diverse and democratic societies.
