The Indian Consulate in New York confirmed the tragic death of Indian origin student Uma Satya Sai Gadde by writing on X “Deeply saddened by the unfortunate demise of Mr. Uma Satya Sai Gadde, an Indian student in Cleveland, Ohio.” The young student’s untimely demise has left a void in the hearts of many.
Expressing deep sorrow over Gadde’s passing, the Indian Consulate in New York has assured the family of all possible assistance, including the transportation of his mortal remains to India at the earliest. This assurance comes as the Indian government grapples with the increasing number of deaths among Indian students studying abroad, particularly in the United States.
The circumstances surrounding Gadde’s death remain shrouded in mystery with an investigation currently underway to determine the cause. His case is the tenth such incident involving Indian students in the US this year.
Gadde’s death is part of a string of recent incidents involving Indian students in the US. Earlier this year, Mohammed Abdul Arafat went missing from the Cleveland area, and Amarnath Ghosh was fatally shot in St. Louis, Missouri. These incidents have sparked widespread alarm and calls for greater attention to student safety. Vivek Taneja, a 41-year-old Indian-origin IT executive, suffered severe injuries in an assault outside a restaurant in Washington that put his life at risk.
Indian Government’s response
In response to these troubling developments, officials from the Indian Embassy in Washington and its consulates across the US have convened virtual interactions with Indian students from various universities. Under the leadership of Charge d’Affaires Ambassador Sripriya Ranganathan, these discussions seek to improve student well-being and strengthen ties within the wider Indian diaspora.

These efforts highlight the Indian government’s commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of Indian students studying abroad.
