BHOPAL: A 32-year-old techie gave up on his life in the USA. Sharif Rahman Khan, a software engineer from Bhopal, was shot dead in the US last Wednesday by a local resident. The local media reports say that the man who shot Sharif was allegedly having a “romantic fixation” with a girl who was Sharif’s friend.  

Now, after the case has come to a light a section of the media had raised concerns that it was a ‘hate crime’. Reportedly, Sharif’s family has expressed doubts about these media reports. However, Sharif’s elder brother Mukeem talking to a famous news website of India told that  “My younger brother has been shot dead in St. Louis (Missouri). That’s all I know. I had called the University City police for details, but they refused to share any information unless I showed up there. They say it’s their SOP. None of Sharif’s colleagues have told us anything close to what’s being reported in the media,” Sharif’s mother and brother live in Bhopal’s Subash Nagar area. They have decided to have his last rituals in the US considering the corona situation in both countries. University City police arrested a 23-year-old suspect named Cole J Miller. He was charged under the act of murder, armed criminal action, and receiving stolen property, say US media reports. 

Further, the University City police reportedly told local media that the girl had some issues with a suspect whom she knew as ‘John Mills’. The girl even shared a phone number with investigators. Police had received a call from that number on Monday to report that the girl had been ‘kidnapped’. According to police Miller poses a danger to Sharif’s friend because he has a “romantic fixation” with her and knows her schedule.
