A resident of Langar Houz in Hyderabad, Syed Mazahir Ali had gone to the US to pursue a Master’s degree from Indiana Wesleyan University.
Last month, an Indian student Vivek Saini, who was employed in part-time work at a convenience store in the state of Georgia, was killed by a homeless man for whom he provided health and shelter for many days.
The homeless man killed the Indian student on January 16. Witnesses told US local news media outlet WSB-TV that Faulkner attacked Vivek with a hammer late at night after he asked him to leave the store.
