In March, another Indian student, Mohammed Abdul Arafat, went missing from the Cleveland area under mysterious circumstances. His family then received a ransom call demanding payment for his release.
The most concerning part is that since the beginning of 2024, there have been at least 10 deaths of the Indian-origin students in the US.
