Khammam: A 26-year-old student from Khammam was shot and killed in Chicago on Friday evening during an apparent robbery. The victim, Nukarapu Sai Teja, the youngest son of Koteshwar Rao and Vani, had traveled to the US four months ago to pursue an MS degree from Concordia University, Wisconsin.
According to his family members, Sai Teja had been working at a mall for the past few days. Two unknown persons entered the outlet on Friday evening and shot him dead after taking money.
Another post Sai Teja was off duty when the incident happened but helped a friend who asked him to stay for some time. The friend had gone to work.
A gloom descended on Raarthinagar as his relatives and friends reached his house to console his parents.
MLC Tata Madhusudhan visited Sai Teja’s house and spoke to leaders of the Telugu Association of North America (TANA) in the US to help shift Sai Teja’s body to his native place. The body is expected to return home next week.
