Actress Devoleena Bhattacharjee, known for her roles in popular TV shows like "Saath Nibhaana Saathiya" and "Dil Diyaan Gallaan," has reached out to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Minister of External Affairs S. Jaishankar, seeking assistance in repatriating the body of her friend and dancer, Amarnath Ghosh, who was tragically shot dead in the US.
In a heartfelt message shared on X on Friday, Devoleena expressed her grief over the loss of her friend from Kolkata, who was fatally shot in the St. Louis Academy neighborhood in the US on Tuesday evening. She revealed that Amarnath Ghosh, being the only child in his family, had lost both his parents - his mother three years ago and his father during his childhood.
Despite the tragic circumstances of his death, details regarding the perpetrator have not been disclosed, leaving Amarnath's friends to advocate for justice on his behalf. Describing him as an outstanding dancer and a PhD pursuer, Devoleena emphasized that Amarnath was simply taking an evening stroll when he was senselessly shot multiple times by an unknown assailant.
In her plea, Devoleena urged the Indian Embassy in the US to assist in the repatriation process, emphasizing the need for clarity surrounding the motive behind Amarnath's murder. She also tagged Minister of External Affairs S. Jaishankar and Prime Minister Narendra Modi in her appeal for assistance.
This tragic incident underscores the importance of ensuring the safety and security of Indian students and citizens abroad, especially in light of recent attacks that have claimed the lives of several individuals under mysterious circumstances in the US.
