Hyderabad: A 27-year-old student from Hyderabad was reportedly shot dead while working at a gas station last night by an unidentified gunman in Dallas, US. The Indian student, identified as Chandrashekar Pole, had moved to America in 2023 to pursue higher studies.
Pole earned a bachelor’s degree in dental surgery from Hyderabad. After completing his master’s in the United States six months ago, he was searching for a full-time placement while employed part-time at the Texas gas station.
Consulate General of India, Houston, took to X to express grief over Pole’s death and assured every possible help. “Consulate General of India, Houston, deeply condoles the tragic death of Chandrasekhar Pole, an Indian student from Hyderabad, who was killed in a shooting incident in Denton, Texas. We are in touch with the family and extending all possible assistance. Local authorities are investigating the incident, and we are following up closely with them,” it said.
After the tragic news, BRS leader T Harish Rao on Sunday visited Pole’s home in Hyderabad. He urged the state government to bring back the dental student’s mortal remains from the United States. In a social media post, Rao expressed condolences to the deceased family, stating, “It is tragic that Chandra Shekhar Pole, a Dalit student from Nagar who completed BDS and went to America (Dallas) for higher studies, died in a shooting carried out by miscreants early morning. 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.”
“We, on behalf of BRS, demand that the state government take initiative and make efforts to bring Chandra Shekhar’s mortal remains to his hometown as quickly as possible,” the BRS leader added.
