Hyderabad: A 23-year-old student from Hyderabad lost his life in a Dallas shooting during an armed robbery early Tuesday, leaving his family and community in shock, according to initial reports.
Chandrasekhar Pole, from LB Nagar, completed a Bachelor of Dental Surgery in India before moving to the United States for a Master of Science in Health Data Analytics at the University of North Texas. The university's Spring 2025 semester began in May 2025.
Leaders visit grieving family, demand repatriation
Former minister and BRS senior leader T Harish Rao and local MLA Sudhir Reddy visited Pole's family residence in LB Nagar following news of his death. The leaders spent time with the family members and expressed condolences.
