G Praveen, a 26-year-old Telangana student, was found dead with bullet wounds in Wisconsin, USA. His family is awaiting details regarding his death, as they were informed by US authorities. Praveen had moved to the US for his Master’s degree after completing his B Tech in Hyderabad. This incident follows other similar cases involving Indian students in the US.
A 26-year-old student from Telangana, G Praveen, was reportedly found dead with bullet wounds in the United States, although the details surrounding his death remain unclear, according to his family. Praveen was pursuing a Master of Science degree in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and authorities informed his family of his demise on Wednesday morning, Indian time. His cousin, Arun, stated that some friends indicated that Praveen’s body was discovered with gunshot wounds.
There are claims that Praveen may have been killed by unknown assailants at a local store, but the precise cause of death is still unknown to his family. Arun mentioned that Praveen had tried to contact his father in the early hours of Wednesday; however, his father was asleep and missed the call. The family is currently in a state of shock following the tragic news.
Praveen, who was originally from Ranga Reddy district near Hyderabad, had moved to the United States in 2023 to continue his studies after completing a Bachelor of Technology in Hyderabad. He visited India in December 2024 before returning to the US in January. The family has sought assistance from local Members of Legislative Assembly and other leaders in the wake of this incident.
Sadly, this incident is not isolated; at least two other Indian students from Telangana have been reported shot dead in the United States, one from Khammam in November last year and another from Hyderabad in January. The family awaits further information, as US authorities have indicated that an autopsy will determine the cause of death.
The tragic case of G Praveen highlights the distressing reality faced by international students. His untimely death raises concerns regarding safety and security for students abroad, particularly in the United States. The family awaits clarification on the circumstances of his death while seeking support from local officials. Tragically, this incident reflects a broader pattern of violence affecting Indian students in the US.
