Now in US, Indian student bashed up

Murali Krishna
Guntur, Jun 1: Even as the reports of alleged racist attacks against Indian students in Australia pour in, another attack on an Indian Student in United States has been exposed. Kadiyala Murali Krishna who is now battling for his life in a hospital was dragged about one km by a car driven by an American, his family said.

The 25-year-old boy from Guntur district of Andhra Pradesh, was studying MS (Computer Science) in University of South Mississipi and worked as an assistant in a filling station to supplement his income.

On May 17 an African American man who picked up a liquor bottle refused to pay for it. The man got into his car in an effort to drive away. When Murli ran to the car demanding for money, the man reportedly hit him and slammed the door and started the car. Murli's apron that got caught in the car's door kept him attached to the speeding car for a distance of one kilometer. The car that dragged Murli halted only with the intervention of night mobile patrol police.

It is interesting to note that the incident took place on May 17 it was exposed only on Saturday, May 30.

Hey once Indians are abroad they must take care of themselves. The Govt is run by foreign born women and so she may not feel the pinch of Indian suffereing. She rules like british raj, giving some miniterial berth to local heads like chennai family and begal women. She is clever and very calculative. India is heading for another period of turmoil as china has maipulated Indian foreign policy arround its policy.

Are these students working here legally? What is their visa status? If they are working illegally then may be the govt should do something to stop the illegals from being hired.
