A man in his late 20s went to deliver pizza in response to an order. Someone killed him in cold blood in what is apparent racism in the US.
28-year-old Anshul Kuncha responded to a delivery call from Raymond Rosen Homes in the US state of Philadelphia. It was usual for him to deliver pizza over the weekend to supplement his income. Unfortunately, this time, someone killed him.
What the Authorities Know
Authorities cannot tell with exactness if Kuncha was a victim of racism in the US. However, according to nearby CCTV cameras, he arrived with the pizza package in a normal way.
He then proceeded to the home where he was supposed to deliver it, and nobody ever saw him alive again. However, it is not clear if someone killed him in that home, which is now known to be unoccupied.
Those Philadelphia Housing Authority CCTV cameras captured Kuncha arriving, then two men in dark clothes following him closely afterward. These men carried backpacks.
Apparently, this was the last time anyone saw the young Indian man alive. He hailed from Hyderabad, India. The two men who followed him into the pizza destination likely know about his killing.
A Sister’s Grief
Weighed down by grief, Anshul Kuncha’s sister urged all parents to stop sending their children to the United States. She regretted that, as a family, they had urged Kuncha to go and study in the US. Kuncha left India to study for a postgraduate degree in Business Analytics.
Although he earned a master’s degree, he is now dead, which makes his sister extremely sad. Someone killed him in cold blood.
Speaking to the Press Trust of India (PTI), a major news agency in India, Kuncha’s sister stated that someone brazenly targeted her brother for murder. She explained that the person chose the vacant home for the delivery to ambush Kuncha in a secluded place.
Such hate may have been catalyzed by discriminatory utterances by leaders. Whether discrimination is racially, religiously, or otherwise motivated, it can escalate to such fatal levels. Unfortunately, hate mongering that can lead to racial killing is not rare in the US.
As a family, Kuncha’s sister says they have received with deep sadness the grave news that Anshul Kuncha was killed. Apparently, he was found on a road somewhere with three bullet wounds in his head.
Anshul Kuncha’s sister strongly urges families in India to stop sending their children to the US. She insists that with such targeted killing, it is not worth it, be it for study or career advancement.
