Praveen, who was pursuing his Master’s degree in Data Science at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, had traveled to the U.S. in 2023 after completing his Bachelor of Technology in Hyderabad. To support his studies, he worked part-time at a local store.
He had recently visited India in December 2024 and returned to the U.S. on Jan. 20, to complete his course, which was scheduled to conclude in four months.
