The city of Hyderabad was struck with sadness as news of a tragic incident reached the locals. A young Indian student, Pole Chandrashekar, was fatally shot at a gas station in Dallas, USA by unidentified attackers. His family, who resides in Hyderabad, shared the heartbreaking news on Saturday. They pleaded for the government's assistance in bringing back their son's body for a proper burial.
Chandrashekar, a recent graduate with a BDS degree from Hyderabad, had moved to the US two years ago to pursue a Master's degree in MS. He completed his studies six months ago and was actively searching for a job. In order to support himself, he took up a part-time job at the gas station where the unfortunate incident took place. His brother, Damodar, informed the media about his brother's hardworking nature and how he was determined to make a successful career for himself.
The news of Chandrashekar's death was met with sorrow and condolences from many, including Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy. He expressed his deepest sympathies to the bereaved family and assured them of the government's support in bringing back their son's mortal remains. BRS MLA T Harish Rao also visited the family and offered his condolences. He expressed his concern over the tragic incident and stated that it was a great loss for the community as Chandrashekar was a bright student from a Dalit background.
Harish Rao, who is the nephew of BRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao, urged the Telangana government to take necessary steps to bring back Chandrashekar's body. This was not the first time that a Telangana student had lost their life in the US due to violence. In January, a 26-year-old student from Telangana was fatally shot in Connecticut, while in September, a 30-year-old man from Mahabubnagar district lost his life in California after being shot by the police.
The entire incident has left the locals in shock and has raised concerns over the safety of Indian students studying abroad. The Telangana government has promised to extend all possible help to the family of the deceased and bring justice to Chandrashekar's untimely death. The loss of such a promising young student has left a void in the hearts of many, and his memory will be cherished by all who knew him.
