Vivek Saini murdered

In a separate incident, Vivek Saini, a resident of Haryana’s Panchkula, tragically lost his life in an appalling incident in Lithonia, Georgia, on January 16. Saini, an MBA student in Lithonia, was employed part-time at a convenience store where he encountered a homeless man named Julian Faulkner.

Having previously extended acts of kindness, such as providing chips, water, and even a jacket to Faulkner, Saini found himself in a harrowing situation on January 16. Allegedly, the 25-year-old student refused to provide Faulkner with complimentary food, leading to a frenzied attack. The assailant, identified as Faulkner, reportedly struck Saini around 50 times, as reported by the police.

Akul Dhawan found dead

In another distressing incident, Akul Dhawan, an 18-year-old Indian student, was found dead outside the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) in January. The autopsy indicated that his cause of death was hypothermia.

However, Dhawan’s parents have raised concerns and filed a complaint, accusing the university’s police department of negligence and inaction after their son was reported missing. Ish Dhawan, Akul’s father, expressed disbelief, stating, “This is bizarre, that a kid is never found who was just less than a block, like one minute away, sitting there, dead, frozen to death.” The family is seeking answers regarding the circumstances leading to their son’s tragic demise.
