Houston:
An Indian national has been arrested and charged with murder in connection with the death of a compatriot in the US state of Alabama, police said.
Montgomery police officers charged Raviteja Goli, 23, with the murder of Akhil Sai Mahankali, 25, who died Monday.
Police and fire crews found Mahakali with a fatal gunshot wound at 9:30 p.m. Sunday in the 3200 block of Eastern Boulevard. They took him to the hospital, where doctors pronounced him dead, the Montgomery Advertiser newspaper reported.
Mahankali and the accused are both from Montgomery, the capital of Alabama, it said, adding that Goli is now in the Montgomery jail.
Mahakali, who reportedly hails from Telangana, reached the US around 13 months ago. He was studying in a university and also had a part-time job at a gas station.
