Indian-Origin Executive Vivek Taneja Dies After Assault in Washington D.C.

Vivek Taneja, a 41-year-old executive from Virginia, succumbed to injuries sustained in an altercation outside a Washington restaurant.

Vivek Taneja died five days after being assaulted outside two sister Japanese restaurants in downtown Washington, D.C.
The altercation occurred early on February 2, leading to Taneja hitting his head on the pavement and sustaining life-threatening injuries.
No arrests have been made, but D.C. police have released a video of a person of interest and offered a $25,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction.
Taneja was the co-founder and president of Dynamo Technologies, and is survived by his wife and a daughter.
The incident is part of a worrying trend of attacks on and deaths of Indians and Indian-Americans in the US, prompting reassurances from the US envoy to India about safety for Indian students.
