Shreyas Reddy Benigeri: Third Indian Student Discovered Dead in US Within a Week

In a tragic turn of events, the Indian Embassy in New York has verified the demise of yet another Indian-origin student in the United States, adding to the growing list of Indian lives lost in the country within a week. The deceased, identified as Shreyas Reddy Benigeri, was a student in Ohio, and the circumstances surrounding his death remain unclear. While authorities are conducting an investigation, no signs of foul play have been detected thus far.

Shreyas Reddy Benigeri was pursuing his education at the Lindner School of Business in Cincinnati. The Embassy conveyed its condolences through a message on social media (formerly Twitter), expressing deep sadness over Benigeri’s unfortunate passing and extending support to his grieving family. The message affirmed ongoing police investigations and emphasized that foul play is not currently suspected. The Consulate remains in constant contact with the family, providing all possible assistance during this difficult time.

Tragically, Shreyas Reddy Benigeri’s case is not isolated, as recent weeks have witnessed the loss of other Indian students in the United States. One such incident involved Neel Acharya, a student at Purdue University in Indiana, who was discovered dead on the campus after being reported missing. In a separate, heart-wrenching incident in Georgia, Vivek Saini, a 25-year-old MBA graduate from India, fell victim to a brutal attack by a homeless drug addict wielding a hammer. Saini, who had offered shelter and assistance to the attacker, Julian Faulkner, was fatally struck 50 times in the head, leading to Faulkner’s subsequent arrest by the police.
