“We learned about his death from his friend’s parents, who visited us and shared our grief. We’ve come to know that he was shot dead by black people last night. We request the central and state governments to ensure the safety of Indians and bring my son’s body back home as soon as possible,” she added, ANI reported.

Sharing his condolences further, he said, “The pain that the parents are going through, knowing that their son, who they believed would reach great heights, is no more, is heart-wrenching to witness. My deepest condolences to their family members.
He further urged the authorities to take steps to bring back the mortal remains of the student.
