This unfortunate incident is part of a distressing trend of attacks and deaths involving Indians and Indian-Americans in the United States. In another recent incident, an Indian student named Syed Mazahir Ali was brutally attacked in Chicago on February 7. Videos circulating on social media showed Ali bleeding heavily as he described the horrific incident. The Indian Consulate in Chicago has been in touch with Ali and his family, providing necessary support.
Another incident that shocked the Indian community was the death of Shreyas Reddy, an Indian student studying at the Linder School of Business in Cincinnati, Ohio. The cause of Reddy’s death remains unknown at this time. The Indian Consulate in New York expressed regret about the incident and assured Reddy’s family of all possible assistance.
Tragically, Taneja’s death marks the third death of an Indian student within a week. Neel Acharya, a student at Purdue University, was found dead on January 30 after being missing for days. Similarly, on January 29, Vivek Saini, another Indian student, was brutally killed by a homeless man with repeated hammer blows inside a store in Lithonia, Georgia. A video capturing the incident went viral on social media.
The sudden increase in attacks and deaths of Indians and Indian-Americans in the United States has raised concerns within the community. The incidents highlight the need for increased security measures and awareness to ensure the safety and well-being of Indian students and residents in the country.
Authorities are urging anyone with information related to any of these incidents to come forward and assist in the investigations. The Metropolitan Police Department’s Homicide Branch is determined to bring the perpetrators to justice and provide closure to the victims’ families.
