Hyderabad, Sept. 20 -- Relatives and friends of Mohammad Nizamuddin, a Telangana-based techie who was allegedly shot by the police in California, US, on Friday claimed that he was a victim of racial discrimination as they called for a fair inquiry into the incident by authorities in the US and India. According to Nizamuddin's family, the 32-year-old was allegedly shot dead by Santa Clara Police during a clash with his roommate on September 3. The family, residing in Mahbubnagar district, claimed that they found out about the incident on Thursday after receiving information from California Police. "We were told his mortal remains are at some hospital in Santa Clara. I do not know the actual reasons why police shot him dead," Nizamuddin's father Mohammad Husamuddin, a retired teacher, said on Friday. According to a video released by Santa Clara Police, they received a 911 (emergency call) involving a disturbance between two roommates. When the police reached the spot, they received information that the situation had escalated and the suspect (Nizamuddin) stabbed the victim, pinning him to the ground. "The officer attempted to de-escalate the situation with verbal commands. But, the suspect ignored the commands. When the officer saw the suspect holding a knife, the officer shot four times," Santa Clara Police chief Cory Morgan said in the video....
