This incident marks yet another episode in a concerning trend of deaths involving Indian-origin students in the United States. In March, another Indian student, Mohammed Abdul Arafat, went missing from the Cleveland area under mysterious circumstances. His family then received a ransom call demanding payment for his release.
Earlier this year, Syed Mazahir Ali, a student from Hyderabad, was brutally attacked in Chicago, leaving him severely injured. The Indian Consulate in Chicago promptly intervened, offering support to Mr Ali and his family. The death of Neel Acharya, a student at Indiana’s Purdue University, and the brutal killing of Vivek Saini in Georgia, sent shockwaves among the Indian community in the US.
Since the beginning of 2024, there have been at least 10 deaths involving Indian or Indian-origin students in the US.
