An Indian-American doctoral student named Mainak Sarkar was reportedly the man who gunned down his professor William Klug at University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) yesterday. Mainak hailed from West Bengal and he was a student of Aerospace Engineering at IIT Kharagpur.On Wednesday, Mainak reportedly shot dead his professor for stealing his computer code and giving it to someone else, before killing himself.
Klug, 39, had been the target of Mainak’s fury on his social networking profile for months as Mainak accused Klug of stealing his computer code and giving it to someone else.”William Klug, UCLA professor is not the kind of person when you think of a professor. He is a very sick person. I urge every new student coming to UCLA to stay away from this guy”, Mainak wrote on his social networking on March 10th. “He made me really sick. Your enemy is my enemy. But your friend can do a lot more harm. Be careful about whom you trust”, Mainak added.
Incidentally, Mainak, in his doctoral dissertation submitted in 2013, thanked Klug for his help and support and for being his mentor. The murder and the following suicide led to complete lockdown of the campus as hundreds of police officers and federal agents were deployed on the UCLA campus.
