Only child in the family, mother died 3 years back. Father passed away during his childhood.
Well the reason , accused details everything are not revealed yet or perhaps no one…
This tragic incident adds to a concerning trend of attacks targeting Indian students in the US, raising questions about their safety and security abroad. With at least five such deaths reported in recent months, Devoleena's plea resonates deeply, emphasising the urgent need for action to ensure the protection of Indian nationals studying overseas.
