A case of death of an Indian-origin student has come to light in America. 18-year-old Akul Dhawan, who was studying engineering from the University of Illinois, has been found dead. Akul's parents have raised questions on the university.
According to local media reports, Akul had gone missing on Sunday. His body was found near the university campus in Champaign, Illinois. Officials said that no marks of injury were found on the body. There is a possibility of death due to hypothermia.
Actually, devastation due to snow storm is going on in America at present. It is bone-chilling cold in California. Uncle's roommate told that when he went missing on Sunday, the temperature was -17 degrees Celsius. Akul's friends said they had expressed concern at the time that he might die in the cold without a coat.
Akul's father Ish Dhawan has claimed that his son had called the police from the place where he was stuck. He kept waiting for half an hour.
Akul was found dead less than half a block from where he was last seen, local TV station WCIA reported. The university police department is investigating this incident.
Akul's parents have raised questions about the university's protection process. He has claimed that when he contacted the VC's office, he was asked to contact the police. He claims that he was not even given any formal form to lodge his complaint. Akul's parents have alleged that the university is unprepared and the lives of other students are also in danger.
