This is the latest in the series of deaths involving students and professionals from the south Indian state in the US over the past few months.
A resident of Anantapur in Andhra Pradesh, Purushottam worked with Triton Infotech in Indianapolis.
Purushottam, son of police Sub-Inspector M Nagalingam, went to the US two years ago and was living with his wife Praveena, who also hails from Anantapur.
An Indianapolis Police official, requesting anonymity as she is not authorised to speak to the media, said that the police received an emergency call at about 6-15 p.m. Tuesday that the deceased was found dead on the floor.
The body was first found by his wife, also a software techie, who then alerted the neighbours, who in turn called the police, the official said.
Upon reaching the apartment, the police found the deceased lying on the floor and there appeared to be marks of something around his neck. He was immediately taken to the hospital. The autopsy report is yet to come, she said.
The official said while initial investigation has indicated that it is a case of suicide, the police is continuing with its investigation to confirm the reasons and cause of his death and also the circumstances under which it happened.

Raj Thackey's suggestion that integrating with local people in western countries will isolate Indians from any chances of harm from racist gangs is idiotic. Nowadays , specially after globalisation local people of many western countries have been developing a sense of hatred towards indians and other non-caucasian races. There are dangers of living in a foreign land. For Indians, even India is a dangerous place to live. For example recent attacks on North Indians by Shiv Sena thugs is an example.
I have seen over years, the indians comming to US or other western countries, they have themselves to blame for this. I again say indians should learn to interact more with the local people and integrate with the society where they live and work. Most indians are confined to their own community which already raises suspecion. If they wanted to be in their own community then should not go to western countries in the first place. Moreover they also try to impose their values and cultural habbits on other people, remember western civilization is a free society, you cannot impose your values or cultures or habbits on other people.
How safe are the Indians who come there to work or study? Formerly to go to the US fr studying or working was considered as an achievement. Now, with this present condition being observed, I would never send my kids to such an unsafe place. Seems that it is as risky as sending thm out into the wild....Hoped the situation would change..... Cannot something be done to protect those people who leave their loved ones and the security of their country to go abroad to achieve something in life?????
