The latest case involves a 26-year-old Indian student named Rupesh Chandra Chintakindi, who has been missing in Chicago since May 2. According to confirmed reports, the Consulate General in Chicago is working closely with the police and the Indian community to locate Rupesh.
In recent times, there have been several reports of Indian citizens being attacked or going missing in different parts of the United States. Earlier this year, 25-year-old Mohammad Abdul Arafat, who had come to America to pursue a Masters in IT, went missing in March and was later found dead in Cleveland in April. Similarly, Amarnath Ghosh, a 34-year-old trained classical dancer from India, was shot dead in St. Louis, Missouri, in March. In February, Sameer Kamath, a 23-year-old Indian-American student studying at Purdue University, was found dead in a conservation area in Indiana.
These incidents have raised serious concerns about the safety and security of Indian students in America. The Indian Embassy in the US and India's Ministry of External Affairs have been notified about the latest case involving Rupesh and are monitoring the situation closely. The Consulate General in Chicago has also issued a statement on social media urging people to come forward if they have any information about Rupesh's whereabouts.
It is essential to ensure the safety and well-being of all international students in the United States. The authorities must take strict measures to prevent such incidents from happening in the future and provide adequate protection to those who are already in the country.
