NEW DELHI: A student from Hyderabad was killed in shooting by “miscreants” in Dallas, United States, BRS MLA T Harish Rao said on Saturday.The victim, 26-year-old Chandrashekar Pole, had completed his Bachelors in Dental Surgery (BDS) before moving to Dallas for further studies, Rao added.“The pain that the parents are going through, knowing that their son, who they believed would reach great heights, is no more, is heart-wrenching to witness. My deepest condolences to their family members,” Rao wrote on X, after meeting the bereaved family.
On behalf of his party, he also demanded that the Telangana government make arrangements to bring Pole’s mortal remains back to his hometown “as soon as possible.”According to reports, Pole was working at a gas station on Friday night when he was shot by an unidentified gunman. He had moved to the US in 2023 for higher studies, completed his master’s degree six months ago, and had been searching for a full-time placement while working part-time at the gas station.
The discussion revolves around the Indian student’s death, with expressions of grief and criticism towards the Indian government’s response. Some highlight the dangers of working at gas stations in the US and concerns about gun violence and anti-immigrant sentiment. Others point out victim working illegally.
