Indian-origin student Sunil Tripathi is not a suspect in the Boston marathon bombing, contrary to some rumours floating on the social media.
Tripathi, a 22-year-old Brown University student who went missing mysteriously 16 March, was reported by some as the Boston bombing suspect number two Thursday night.
Tripathi was first suggested as a suspect for Monday’s Boston Marathon bombings on Reddit, then later by the Twitter account of Kami Mattioli, who knew the college student when he was in high school, the Inquisitr, a news website reported. But the reports of Tripathi’s involvement in the bombings, which killed three people and wounded more than 160 others, turned out to be false with news media reporting the two suspects were brothers of Chechen origin.
