Several Indian and Indian-origin students have died in the US this year.<\/p>\n

A 25-year-old student from Hyderabad, who moved to the US in 2023 for a Master’s at Cleveland State University, was found dead earlier this week.\u00a0This incident marks yet another episode in a concerning trend of deaths involving Indian-origin students in the United States.<\/p>\n

Mohammed Abdul Arfath had been missing for nearly three weeks, and the consulate had earlier said that it was in touch with Abdul’s family.<\/p>\n

Since the beginning of 2024, there have been at least 11 deaths involving Indian or Indian-origin students in the US.<\/p>\n

The US is a favoured destination for Indian students looking to pursue higher education. According to the US, over 2.6 lakh Indian students migrated to the country in the 2022-2023 session. This was a 35 per cent jump from the previous session.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
