Indian student working part-time at US gas station shot dead in US

A tragic end met the dreams of Dalit youth Chandrasekhar Pole from Telangana, who had gone to the United States for higher education. 

The 26-year-old student, who recently completed his BDS, was brutally murdered by robbers in Dallas.

In 2023, Chandrasekhar had moved to the US to pursue higher studies after completing his bachelor’s degree in dental surgery in Hyderabad. He finished his master’s programme six months ago and had been searching for a full-time job while working part-time at a gas station.

The family has appealed to the government for assistance in repatriating their son’s body from the US.

Telangana Revanth Reddy took to X, “The death of Pole Chandrasekhar, a student from LB Nagar, in a shooting incident by miscreants in America has caused deep shock and grief. I pray to God that his soul may find peace and express my profound condolences to his family members. The government will stand by Chandrasekhar’s family. We will provide all possible assistance to bring his mortal remains back to his hometown.”
