Anshul Kuncha, a 28-year-old Indian youth from Telangana, was shot dead in Philadelphia city of America. The family alleges that Anshul was called to an isolated place through a fake pizza delivery order and the entire incident was a well-planned conspiracy. Anshul was living in America for the last four years. He used to work in a multinational company. He also used to do part-time pizza delivery work on weekends to earn extra income.
On Saturday night he received a pizza delivery order. This order was from a deserted area of Philadelphia. When Anshul reached there, an unknown assailant opened fire on him. According to the report, the attacker shot several bullets in Anshul’s head and then fled from the spot. Anshul died on the spot.
Why is this incident part of a conspiracy?
The family says that none of Anshul’s belongings were looted after the murder. The things they had were safe. For this reason, the family suspects that this was not just an incident of robbery, but that they were deliberately targeted. According to the family, two masked men carrying bags were also seen in the area at the time of the incident. Anshul’s sister Tanvi said that this pizza delivery order was a trap. He told that there were no customers at the place where Anshul was sent. Later it was revealed that this was a fake order and a plan was made just to call Anshul there and kill him.
Tanvi told that even before this Anshul had become a victim of robbery in America. In that incident, his chain, mobile phone and cash were snatched, but he was not physically harmed. The family has demanded the authorities to send Anshul’s body to India soon so that the last rites can be performed. While talking to the media, Tanvi made an emotional appeal and said that parents should think carefully before sending their children to America.
