Akshay Vishal, a 26 year old engineer from Hyderabad, by tainted IT giant Satyam Computers employee, has been shot dead in the US where he had been working for the last three years. He is the seventh victim from Andhra Pradesh to be killed in the US in the last two years.
The 26-year-old was working in the US since 2005 for Satyam's client Falcon Jet Airways in the Little Rock town in Arkansas.
Akshay was shot at on Tuesday and succumbed to injuries on Wednesday...
"There was no enmity or anything. The anti-black attitude of America might have brought this death to him," said Akshay’s father, Lakshmana Murthy.
Akshay is the seventh young techie from Andhra Pradesh to be killed on the American soil in the last two years.
Barely two months ago, a 25-year-old software engineer from Hyderabad, Aparna Jinaga, was found dead in her flat.
A Srinivas, a post graduate medical student, was killed last year.
Chandrasekhar Reddy Komma and Kiran Kumar Allam, both PhD students, were also killed last year.
Jayalakshmi, wife of a techie and her two children were found dead at their house near Detroit, last week.
Jayalakshmi’s husband Nerusu Lakshminivasa Rao is still missing.
Not a single crime has been cracked till date.
Some 100,000 young professionals from Andhra Pradesh work in the US and the recent spike in crimes targeting them has sent shock waves across the state and the Indian diaspora living in the US.
