Oklahoma: In a troubling incident in the USA, an Indian-origin man was murdered after being struck in the face. The incident took place in Oklahoma on June 22 and was recently reported.

The victim, Hemant Mistry, a 59-year-old native of Gujarat, had settled in the US a few years ago and worked as a motel manager in Oklahoma. On the day of the incident, a man named Richard Lewis arrived at the motel. A confrontation occurred, and Mistry instructed Lewis to leave.
