An Indian dental student from Hyderabad was killed in a shooting incident in the US, former minister and BRS MLA T Harish Rao said on Saturday.

Expressing concern over the incident, Harish Rao said he and other party leaders visited the bereaved family here and offered condolences.

In a post on X, Rao said the victim, Chandrashekar Pole, had completed BDS in India before moving to Dallas for further studies.

“It is tragic that Chandrashekar Pole, a Dalit student from LB Nagar who completed BDS and went to America (Dallas) for higher studies, died in a shooting carried out by miscreants early morning,” he said.

Harish Rao, nephew of BRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao, urged the Telangana government to take steps to bring back the body of the deceased student.
