Tragic End for Telangana Man: Claims of Racial Discrimination Before Police Shooting

Mohammed Nizamuddin from Telangana was shot dead by US police after alleging racial hatred and discrimination. The incident involved a confrontation with his roommate, resulting in a fatal shooting by a police officer. Nizamuddin's family is seeking help to bring his remains back to India.

A tragic incident has unfolded involving Mohammed Nizamuddin, a 30-year-old man from Telangana, who was reportedly shot by the US police under contentious circumstances. Nizamuddin had previously claimed he was a victim of racial hatred and discrimination in America.

The shooting followed a situation with his roommate that escalated, leading to police intervention. A video released by Santa Clara police details that officers were responding to an emergency call when the scenario turned dire. Despite attempts to deescalate, Nizamuddin was shot as he appeared to threaten his roommate with a knife.

His father, Mohammed Hasnuddin, has appealed for assistance from the Indian government to repatriate his son's body. Local political figures and organizations have also urged external affairs officials to act swiftly. Before his death, Nizamuddin had worked as a software professional in the United States, where he claimed to experience significant racial harassment and workplace injustice.
