Another Indian Student Attacked In US

A student of Indian origin was assaulted and robbed of his phone near his home in Chicago. The student, Syed Mazahir Ali, hails from Hyderabad.

A video of the incident has surfaced on social media, in which the student can be seen bleeding profusely.

Syed Mazahir Ali’s family in Hyderabad is deeply concerned about his well-being. His wife wrote a letter to EAM S Jaishankar urging to make arrangements for her travel to the US.

The Indian consulate in Chicago said that the consulate is in touch with Ali and his wife, Syeda Ruquiya Fatima Razvi, and assured all possible assistance.

The incident has raised concern as it comes in the wake of four Indian-origin students being found dead in the United States this year.

Earlier this month, an Indian student in the US named Shreyas Reddy was found dead in Cincinnati, Ohio.

In January, an Indian student Vivek Saini was hammered to death by a homeless drug addict whom he had been helping for the past couple of days in Georgia state's Lithonia city.

Indian-American student Akul B. Dhawan was found dead almost 10 hours later on the back porch of a building near the university campus in west Urbana in the US state of Illinois.
