Hundreds gathered in Kansas city for a peace march and prayer vigil for slain Indian engineer Srinivas Kuchibhotla and two other victims of a US bar shooting.
Alok Madasani, the Indian injured in an apparent hate crime last week, attended the march for peace and a prayer meeting at the Ball Conference Centre in Olathe on Sunday, reported Kansas City Star newspaper.
The vigil was sponsored by the India Association of Kansas City. “I wish it was a dream,” Madasani said of the Austins Bar & Grill shooting that left Kuchibhotla dead.
American Ian Grillot was also shot when he tried to intervene. He is still in a hospital.
Adam W Purinton, 51, a former US Navy veteran, is charged with first-degree murder and two counts of attempted first-degree murder.
Purinton reportedly got into an argument with the victims and hurled racial slurs. He yelled “Get out of my country” and “terrorist” before shooting them.
