In a separate incident in Ohio, Aaditya Adlakha, a 26-year-old Indian doctoral student, was shot and killed inside a car. Adlakha was pursuing his fourth-year doctoral studies in molecular and developmental biology at the University of Cincinnati Medical School. The university described the incident as “sudden, tragic, and senseless.”
The tragic event took place on November 9 when Cincinnati Police responded to a vehicle crash on the upper deck of the Western Hills Viaduct. Adlakha was found shot inside the vehicle, which had crashed into a wall. Despite being rushed to UC Medical Center, his condition worsened, and he was pronounced dead two days later.
Adlakha, originally from north India, had embarked on his medical education journey in Cincinnati. He earned his bachelor’s degree in Zoology from Ramjas College of the University of Delhi in 2018 and later obtained his master’s degree in physiology from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in New Delhi.
These tragic incidents have shocked the local community and raised concerns about safety in Ohio. The investigations into both cases are ongoing, and authorities are working to gather more information.
