Students are missing from the beginning of 2024
Since the beginning of 2024, at least a half dozen Indian and Indian-origin students have died in the United States. The worrying increase in the frequency of attacks has raised concerns within the community.
On February 5, authorities found the body of Sameer Kamath, a 23-year-old Indian-American Purdue University student, in an Indiana nature preserve.
On February 2, attackers outside a restaurant in Washington inflicted potentially fatal injuries on Vivek Taneja, a 41-year-old IT professional of Indian descent, making him the sixth Indian or Indian-American fatality in the US in recent months.
