Click to play videoHyderabad: 30-year-old, Dr Akkaldelvi Srinivas from Andhra Pradesh was found brutally murdered in Pennsylvania over the weekend. According to his family they were informed on Sunday by Srinivas's friends after he was found dead in a pool of blood at his home in the US.
While reports say there were stab wounds on his neck, the possibility of a shootout has also not been ruled out yet.
Back home in Hyderabad, his grieving family is bewildered by his gruesome death.
Srinivas' Brother, A Ravinder said, "We've been told there were stab wounds on his neck, but only after the investigation will we have the full information."
Srinivas was pursuing his second year MD in Internal Medicine at the Scranton University in Pennsylvania. He had gone to the US in 2002, after completing his MBBS from Gandhi Medical College in Hyderabad.
Srinivas' family says that when he called home last Wednesday— he seemed his cheery self. They now want his body to be brought back to India at the earliest.
"I just want the investigation to be carried out soon, because I want my brother's body back as soon as possible," A Ravinder added.
This is the fourth murder of an Indian student in the US in the last four months.
In December 2007, two students from Andhra Pradesh, Chandrasekhar Reddy Komma and Kiran Kumar Allam, were shot dead in Louisiana and on January 18 2008, engineering student Abhijit Mahato was murdered in North Carolina.
Indians account for the highest number of international students enrolling in American universities, and the wave of campus murders has left them jittery.
