Since 2024, there have been several cases of deaths involving Indian and Indian-origin students in the US. The recent passing of Uma Satya Sai Gadde adds to a series of tragedies that have deeply affected the Indian community in America.
In March of this year, a 34-year-old trained classical dancer from India named Amarnath Ghosh was tragically shot dead in St. Louis, Missouri.
In addition, 25-year-old Indian student Mohammed Abdul Arafat, hailing from Hyderabad, has been reported missing from the Cleveland area in the US. His family has reached out to the External Affairs Ministry for assistance in locating their son after receiving a ransom call demanding $1,200. Arafat had traveled to the US in May 2023 to pursue his master's degree in IT from Cleveland University but has been missing since Mar. 7, 2024.
In Feb., two incidents occurred in the US involving Indian students. Sameer Kamath, a 23-year-old Indian-American student at Purdue University, was discovered deceased in Indiana on Feb. 5. Additionally, Vivek Taneja, a 41-year-old Indian-origin IT executive, sustained life-threatening injuries in an assault outside a restaurant in Washington on Feb. 2.
