Indian soldiers salute the coffin containing the body of slain engineer K Suryanarayana, at Kabul airport, before it was flown back to India.

Suryanarayana, who was working on a telecom project, was abducted and then killed by the Taliban on Sunday morning.

His body is being flown to his hometown of Hyderabad. Suryanarayana is survived by his parents, wife and three children.

He is the second Indian to have been killed by the Taliban while working on development projects in Afghanistan.
