Telangana Student G Praveen Found Dead in the U.S. with Bullet Wounds

G Praveen, a 26-year-old Telangana student in the U.S., was found dead with bullet wounds, leaving his family seeking clarity and assistance after being informed of the incident. Previous shootings of Indian students raise safety concerns.

A tragic incident has emerged involving a 26-year-old student from Telangana, G Praveen, who was reportedly found dead with bullet wounds in the United States. The family was notified by U.S. authorities on Wednesday morning (Indian time) about the shocking news without clarity on the circumstances surrounding his death. His cousin, Arun, revealed that friends speculated Praveen was shot by unknown assailants at a store, but the precise cause of death remains unknown to the family.

Praveen had recently been pursuing his Master’s degree in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, having previously completed his B Tech in Hyderabad. Alarmingly, he had called his father early Wednesday morning, yet his father was unable to answer due to being asleep. This call preceded the family’s devastating notification, plunging his parents into shock and sorrow.

Originally from the Ranga Reddy district near Hyderabad, Praveen had traveled to the U.S. in early 2023 and briefly visited India in December 2024 before returning to America in January. In light of this tragic event, family members have sought assistance from local MLAs and community leaders. Notably, this incident marks at least the third occurrence of Indian students from Telangana being fatally shot in the U.S. within recent months.

In summary, G Praveen’s death, involving gunshot wounds, remains shrouded in uncertainty. As his family navigates this tragedy, there are calls for support from community leaders and authorities. This incident highlights ongoing concerns regarding the safety of international students in the United States, particularly from regions like Telangana.
