Missing Indian student found dead in US

失踪的在美印度留学生被发现死亡

NEW DELHI: A 25-year-old Indian student, Mohammad Abdul Arfath, who had been missing for since last month, was found dead in the city of Cleveland, US.

在美国克利夫兰市，上个月失踪的25岁印度学生穆罕默德·阿卜杜勒·阿尔法斯被发现死亡。

This marks the second such incident in a week, adding to a series of distressing events within the Indian community abroad. Arfath, a native of Nacharam, Hyderabad, had traveled to the US in May last year to pursue a Master's degree in IT at Cleveland University.

这是一周内发生的第二起此类事件，海外印度社区发生的一系列令人痛心的事件又多了一起。阿尔法斯是海得拉巴纳查拉姆人，去年5月前往美国克利夫兰大学攻读IT硕士学位。

The Consulate General of India in New York expressed anguish and offered condolences to Arfath's family while assuring active involvement in coordinating with local authorities to thoroughly investigate the circumstances surrounding his untimely demise.

印度驻纽约总领事馆表示悲痛，并向阿尔法斯的家人表示哀悼，同时保证积极参与与地方当局的协调，彻底调查该不幸事件。

“Anguished to learn that Mr Mohammed Abdul Arfath, for whom search operation was underway, was found dead in Cleveland, Ohio,” the Consulate General of India in New York said in a post on X.

印度驻纽约总领事馆在推特上发文：“我们悲痛得知，搜救对象穆罕默德·阿卜杜勒·阿尔法斯先生在俄亥俄州克利夫兰被发现死亡。”

Arfath's disappearance, marked by an eerie silence since his last contact with his family on March 7, had prompted a collaborative effort between Indian officials and US law enforcement agencies to locate him swiftly. Tragically, hopes were dashed as news of his demise surfaced, leaving his family in a state of profound grief.

自3月7日与家人最后一次联系以来，阿尔法斯便诡异失踪了，这促使印度官员和美国执法机构通力合作，迅速找到他的下落。不幸的是，随着其死亡的消息浮出水面，希望破灭了，他的家人陷入了深深的悲痛之中。

The ordeal took a disturbing turn when Arfath's father, Mohammed Saleem, recounted a harrowing phone call from an unidentified individual claiming Arfath had been abducted by a drug trafficking gang, demanding a ransom of $1,200 for his release. The caller's threats of selling Arfath's organs only compounded the family's anguish.

阿尔法斯的父亲穆罕默德·萨利姆称一个身份不明的人打来电话，声称阿尔法斯被贩毒团伙绑架，要求支付1200美元赎金才能释放他，这场磨难出现了令人不安的转折。打电话的人威胁说要卖掉阿尔法斯的器官，加剧了阿尔法斯家人的痛苦。

Saleem, alongside Arfath's distraught parents, implored the Central government to intervene, urging swift action to secure their son's safe return. Saleem has personally reached out to external affairs minister S Jaishankar, seeking assistance in navigating this distressing ordeal.

阿尔法斯心急如焚的父母一起恳求印度中央政府介入，敦促迅速采取行动，确保他们的儿子安全返回。萨利姆联系了印度外交部长苏杰生，寻求帮助。

This is why people runaway from our country. Even after death you are talked about in news, between ministries...if you die here no one asks, no enquiry, nothing. Police may even call it suicide and close case on 2nd day

这就是人们逃离祖国的原因。即便死后，你也会出现在新闻中，有各部门关心…如果你死在这里，无人问津。警方甚至可能判定为自杀，并在第二天草草结案。

US badly requires a leader of Rahul Gandhi type, who will redistribute wealth in US

美国迫切需要拉胡尔·甘地那样的领导人，他将在美国重新分配财富

It is not just specifically for Indians. The overall law and order situation in the US has been slowly declining. The murder rate has been going up in the US for the last six years. In 2018 the murder rate had been 4.99, whereas in 2021 it went up to 6.8. But more importantly, about 50% of all murders go unsolved every year. The murder rate in India hovers around 2.9 every year with a conviction rate of 57%. Even with such a large population and fewer resources, it seems that India has been doing much better than the big-talking gumballs in America.

这不仅仅是针对印度人的，美国的整体治安形势正在缓慢恶化。

在过去的六年里，美国的谋杀率一直在上升。

2018年，谋杀率为4.99%，而2021年上升到6.8%。

但更重要的是，每年约有50%的谋杀案未破。

这一趋势令人担忧。印度每年的谋杀率徘徊在2.9%左右，定罪率为57%。

即使拥有如此庞大的人口和较少的资源，印度似乎也比那些夸夸其谈的美国人做得好得多。

一些国家和印度的一些人非常关心恐怖分子的生活和他们的人*，对于无辜学生被谋杀却只字不提。
