A 24-year-old Indian student, Varun Raj Pucha, died Wednesday after being stabbed in the head on October 29 at a fitness center in Indiana. The attacker, 24-year-old Jordan Andrade, claimed Pucha was "going to assassinate" him, but police found no evidence to support this. Andrade told police he "just reacted" and that he had never spoken to Pucha before. Staff described Pucha as quiet and reserved and was in no way 'creepy'. Andrade portrayed himself as a "defensive fighter" who eliminated a threat, but gave only a vague explanation, saying "I just put it through." Pucha, a computer science student at Valparaiso University, was stabbed in the massage room. Andrade has been charged with attempted murder.
