An Indian student has died in the US and the police investigations are underway, the Indian consulate in New York said on Friday.
The deceased has been identified as Uma Satya Sai Gadde based in Cleveland, Ohio.
The consulate said it is in touch with Gadde's family in India. “All possible assistance is being extended, including to transport Gadde's mortal remains to India at the earliest,” the consulate said in a post on X.
