The victim, Anshul Kuncha, had been living in the US for about four years. He was working at a multinational company and as a part-time pizza delivery executive on weekends to supplement the income.
He was killed while making one such delivery on Saturday night in Philadelphia. His family members have questioned the motive behind the killing. While calling for justice, his sister, Tanvi, said: “My brother was a loving and joyful person. He had been in the US for nearly four years. We came to know that he was trapped through a fake pizza delivery request and was shot dead. Our only request is that his body be brought back to India as early as possible." Speaking to the media, Tanvi also urged families to reconsider sending their children to the United States. “This is a message to all parents considering sending their children to the US: My brother was a very loving and joyful person.
He had no real reason to go to the US, but we sent him anyway. He didn’t want to go either, but he did, and look where it got him. Do not send your children to the US," she said.
