When police arrived at the scene they found something they never expected \u2014 the body of the cyber security major\u2019s roommate. <strong>Varun Manish Chheda<\/strong> was only 20 years old and exactly one month from turning 21 when he was killed.

And although toxicology reports are still pending, police are pretty sure they know what h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ened. They\u2019ve identified his roommate, the one who called them, as the main suspect.<\/p>\n<p>Sha, who also frequently goes by the nickname Jimmy, was taken into custody by campus police. Purdue Police Chief<strong> Lesley Wiete<\/strong>\u00a0says the alleged attack lacks motive \u2014 he calls the killing \u201cunprovoked\u201d and \u201csenseless\u201d as there were no reported incidents between the two students before. It\u2019s been determined by police via <em>CBS <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a><\/em> the suspect is not \u201ca threat to the community\u201d \u2014 but strangely he\u2019s still being held without bond, according to booking records.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the active crime scene, eight students were removed from the first floor of McCutcheon Hall but are due to be let back into their rooms by the end of the day Wednesday. PU\u2019s president, <strong>Mitch Daniels<\/strong>, quickly addressed the situation in a statement on Wednesday following the news of the murder:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI write to let you know that early this morning, one of our students was killed in his residence hall room. This is as tragic an event as we can imagine happening on our campus and our hearts and thoughts go out to all of those affected by this terrible event.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>He continued in his statement to say there are no details available yet due to the ongoing investigation:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe do not have all the details yet. Our Purdue University Police Department is conducting a thorough investigation of this incident so that we all may learn more about what transpired.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Without motive, we wonder how police determined it was the roommate. Did he confess? What happened?!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Video: Purdue Student Varun Manish Chheda killed; suspect Ji Min Sha arrested\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vcEyBvnZtUc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Despite the shocking events, Daniels assured staff and peers the university is still very much a \u201csafe place\u201d:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cPurdue is an extraordinarily safe place on any given day, and compared with cities of Purdue\u2019s population (approximately 60,000 in all), we experience a tiny fraction of violent and property crime that occurs elsewhere. Such statistics are of no consolation on a day like this. A death on our campus and among our Purdue family affects each of us deeply.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This isn\u2019t the first stabbing to happen on the campus, however. In 2014 <strong>Cody Cousins<\/strong> stabbed his 21-year-old fellow student <strong>Andrew Boldt<\/strong> and openly confessed to the killing in court only to die by suicide in prison after being sentenced to 65 years. This isn\u2019t to say the university is unsafe, but the thought of two stabbings happening inside school grounds in less than a decade isn\u2019t exactly reassuring\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>Michael Van Shoik<\/strong> of <em>CBS 4 Indy<\/em> spoke to <strong>Jad Khalaf<\/strong> of PU following the news of the homicide. The young man, who was \u201cshocked and unsettled\u201d to wake up to such a horrible situation said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIt surprises me. It\u2019s never something you can sit there and plan in your right mind. Just think \u2018I\u2019m going to hurt someone\u2019. That\u2019s why it\u2019s surprised us. The magnitude of what we all experienced.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>So, so sad. Our hearts go out to Varun\u2019s family and loved ones. May he rest in peace and get the justice he deserves.<\/p>\n<p class=\"image_cite\"><em>[Image via <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vcEyBvnZtUc\">Fox 59 News<\/a>\/<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube<\/a>\/<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Purdue University Police<\/a>]<\/em>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
