Andhra Pradesh: Another Indian student, 20-year-old Paruchuri Abhijit, who hailed from Guntur district of Andhra Pradesh was allegedly killed. The killers left Abhijit’s body in a car inside a forest. Abhijit was the only son of Paruchuri Chakradhar and Srilakshmi.
The latest killing of an Indian student came amid a series of recent reports where students faced brutal attacks which sometimes led to death. Abhijit went to Boston University after getting an engineering seat. It is suspected that the assailants might have killed Abhijit for money and his laptop.
His family members said that he was said to be a bright student since his childhood. Although Abhijit’s mother initially refused her son’s wish to go abroad for higher studies, she agreed keeping his future in mind. However, after much effort, Abhijit persuaded her mother to study abroad. Now, his dead body was found inside a car.
After completing all the formalities in the US, the body was moved to Burripalem in Guntur district. According to the report, the motive for his murder is not clear but local media reports claimed the Indian student was killed due to some monetary issue with his fellow students at the university. His laptop was also reportedly stolen.
This was the ninth incident of death of an Indian student in America this year. Earlier in January, 19-year-old Neel Acharya, who had been reported missing, was found dead on the Purdue University West Lafayette campus. Acharya was an American citizen. Authorities have said that no trauma or significant injuries were found during the autopsy on Acharya and “no foul play is suspected at this time”.
