Telugu Youth Loses Life in U.S. Shooting

In a tragic incident, a young man from Hyderabad, identified as Raviteja, lost his life in a shooting in the United States. Raviteja, a resident of Chaitanyapuri, Hyderabad, reportedly moved to the U.S. in 2022. Having completed his master's degree, he was actively searching for employment.

The incident occurred in Washington, where unidentified assailants opened fire on him. Gun violence in the U.S. has become a recurring issue, with several Indians falling victim over the years. The widespread prevalence of the "gun culture" in the U.S. has been a cause of concern for families back in India.

Whenever there is news of shootings in the U.S., it leaves parents in India anxious, as a significant number of youths from the Telugu states migrate to America for education and employment opportunities. Despite the risks, the allure of better prospects continues to draw individuals abroad.

The untimely demise of Raviteja has left his family in Hyderabad devastated. His parents, who had hoped to see him settle into a promising career and lead a happy life, are now grieving an irreparable loss.
