Indian techie Mohammed Nizamuddin shot dead by US police after allegations of racial harassment
California: Mohammed Nizamuddin, a 30-year-old software engineer from Mahabubnagar, Telangana, was shot dead by police in Santa Clara, California, on September 3. The incident followed an alleged stabbing involving his roommate, who sustained multiple injuries. Authorities have confirmed that an investigation is underway.
In the days leading up to his death, Nizamuddin had spoken out on LinkedIn about what he described as racial discrimination, harassment, wage fraud, and wrongful termination in the United States. He alleged that his former employer had underpaid and wrongfully dismissed him, after which he faced escalating harassment. He further claimed that his food had been poisoned and that he was being forced out of his accommodation.
“Enough is enough, white supremacy/racist white American mentality has to end. Oppression of corporate tyrants must end and everyone involved in it must be punished severely,” he wrote in his last post.
Nizamuddin held a Master’s degree in Computer Science from a Florida college and had previously worked at Google through EPAM Systems. His family described him as a quiet and religious person who had consistently raised concerns about racial harassment and workplace injustices.
The Indian Ministry of External Affairs is assisting with the repatriation of his body, which is currently at a hospital in Santa Clara. His family has demanded a thorough inquiry, alleging racial discrimination in the events leading to his death.
