A youth from the Khammam district of Telangana was shot dead by miscreants at a gas station in the United States where he was working, family members said on Saturday (November 30, 2024).
Sai Teja Nukarapu (22) was shot at by the assailants in the gas station near Chicago in the early hours of Saturday (November 30, 2024) Indian time, BRS MLC Madhusudan Thatha said, citing preliminary information received from the U.S.
The MLC, who called on the parents of the victim at their residence near Khammam, said Nukarapu was not on duty when the incident happened but helping a friend who asked him to stay on for some time. The friend had gone out on some work.
“Nukarapu completed his BBA in India and was pursuing MBA in the U.S. One of the relatives of the victim told media persons that the deceased was doing a part-time job. It is sad to know that Nukarapu was shot dead when he stayed on at the place of work to help a friend,” the relative said.
The MLC said he spoke to the members of the Telugu Association of North America (TANA) for help in the incident. The body is expected to reach India next week.
