Hundreds of people gathered in India yesterday for the funeral of a man killed in the Midwestern state of Kansas in the U.S.
The Body of the victim Srinivas Kuchibhotla was flown to India on Monday. He was cremated in the southern city of Hyderabad, which is where he was from.
Srinivas was an engineer who worked for GPS-maker Garmin in Kansas City. His widow, Sunayana Dumala and his brother, Sai Kiran, who studied in the US, both returned to India for the funeral.
Srinivas and another Indian man were drinking in a bar in Kansas when they were shot by a man who allegedly yelled "get out of my country" as he fired at them.
The suspected attacker, 51 year old Adam Purinton, was arraigned in court on Monday on charges of first-degree murder and two counts of attempted first-degree murder. FBI officials confirmed they are investigating the incident as a hate crime.
Investigations into the shooting are on-going.
