Reports said Pradeep became distressed during his prolonged job search. Further details about the incident are awaited.
The incident has renewed concerns about employment challenges faced by international students after completing their studies in the US.
In July last year, Hyderabad student Vaibhav Duggal died by suicide in Texas following an academic disciplinary action.
His family and advocates later alleged that the disciplinary process lacked adequate due process and mental health support.
Earlier this year, Andhra Pradesh student Iraganaboyina Chandu also allegedly died by suicide in the US.

The cases have highlighted concerns among Indian students about securing jobs after completing higher education in the US.
