Hyderabad student shot dead in Florida

Hyderabad: A 23- year- old Hyderabadi student was shot dead in Florida in an apparent mugging bid gone wrong. Sai Kiran who had recently begun an MS programme was shot four times after he refused to hand over his mobile phone to unidentified men. "We received information from his friends that some people demanded his phone on which he was already talking. His friend on the other end of the call heard four rounds of gun shots being fired. We are awaiting more details," his uncle Shravan Kumar said. Sai Kiran had completed his bachelors in engineering from Geetanjali College in Keesara, near Hyderabad and had left for the US on May 2, to join his MS course.
