A 28-year-old Hyderabad man working the night shift at a gas station in Denton in Texas, USA, was shot dead on Friday. The deceased, identified as Pole Chandrasekhar, collapsed and died on the spot after an African-American man reportedly fired shots at him. The shooting caused panic in the area. 

Chandrasekhar had been in the US since 2023 after completing a bachelor’s degree in dental surgery in India. He recently finished a Master’s course in data analytics in Texas, but was yet to find a full-time job.
