Within the first 80 days of 2024 alone, over nine Indian or Indian-origin Americans (mostly students) have died under mysterious circumstances or have been killed.

The first such incident this year was reported on 16 January when 25-year old Vivek Saini was hammered to death by a drug addict. Other victims include Neel Acharya, Shreyas Reddy Benigeri, Akul Dhawan, 41-year-old IT executive Vivek Taneja, and 23-year-old Sameer Kamath among others. In Dhawan’s case, his father alleged police inaction on the issue.On 1 March 2024, Amarnath Ghosh, a 34-year-old trained classical dancer and a student of Washington University was also shot dead in St Louis, Missouri.

What Are Authorities Doing?! 

On 10 February 2024, Eric Garcetti, US Ambassador to India assured Indian students that the US is "a wonderful place to study and to be safe".

On 16 February, 2024, the Joe Biden administration also released a statement to similar effect.

"The president and this administration have been working very, very hard to make sure we're doing everything we can to work with state and local authorities to try to thwart and disrupt those kinds of attacks and make it clear to anybody who might consider them that they'll be held properly accountable," said John Kirby, Coordinator for Strategic Communications at National Security Council in White House. "There is no excuse for violence, certainly based on race or gender or religion or any other factor. That's just unacceptable here in the United States," said Kirby.

Unfortunately, no observable change has been noticed even after these statements.
