Our hearts are shattered as we share the devastating loss of our dear friend Chandrashekar Pole, an international student from India who was tragically shot and killed by an unknown individual in the Dallas–Fort Worth area without any confrontation or reason. Chandrashekar had recently graduated and was filled with dreams, hope, and determination to make his family proud.

We are raising funds to send Chandrashekar back home to India so his family can see him one last time and perform his final rites. From the bottom of our hearts, we ask for your support. Every contribution, no matter how small, will help his grieving family during this unimaginable time.

The beneficiary added to this fundraiser is Radha Vudumula, a close family representative who is helping coordinate arrangements with Chandrashekar’s family in India. All funds will be transferred to Radha to ensure they reach Chandrashekar’s parents safely and promptly.

Sunitha Pole, Chandrashekar’s mother and primary parent, is the authorized family member coordinating directly with us during this heartbreaking period. Radha Vudumula and I (Lochan Sai Reddy Chinthaparthy) are working closely with Sunitha to ensure full transparency and to guarantee that all funds raised are handled securely and used solely for repatriation arrangements and support for the family.
