Engineering Student Kills UCLA Professor for ‘Stealing Programming Code’

Ninja Bits: During a more recent murder, and suicide, shooting located at the UCLA campus has unfortunately ended in the passing of a brilliant student and a reputable professor. In recent findings pertaining to this investigation, the PhD Scholar had in fact accused his respective professor of code theft. Another finding emerged pertaining to a “Kill List” in which had the students professor’s name on it. The professor’s wife’s name, who is now deceased, was included inside the compounds of that list as well.

Last Wednesday, William Klug a professor at the UCLA, was shot and murdered on campus. The information has been confirmed that this was in fact the work of the former UCLA engineering PhD student that proceeded onto shooting Mr. William.

The student is identified as Mainak Sarkar, that had previously called his professor a mentor. The reports confirm that Sarkar had used a 9mm semi-automatic pistol during the murder and suicide performance. In which the pistol was later removed from the scene of the crime.

However, just yesterday the police stated that Sarkar had shot one of his respective professor over simple school grades. This was concluded after conducting an investigation upon the students social media as well as career time line, in which painted another story for the investigators.

The investigators later found a blog that belonged to the UCLA student, that did confirm Sarkar accusing Mr. Klug of the theft that belonged to the student.

“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.

Here’s a picture of the guy.

My name is Mainak Sarkar. I was this guy’s PhD student. We had personal differences. He cleverly stole all my code and gave it another student. He made me really sick.

Your enemy is your enemy. But your friend can do a lot more harm. Be careful about whom you trust.

Stay away from this sick guy.”

Just a few short 3 months later, after Sarkar had posted the “Code Thief” on his blog, the initial shooting incident had taken place. However, according the local Los Angeles Times, they have cited an unnamed resources in which states that the accusations held against the professor for Code Theft are absolutely not true.

Adding another twist upon this hateful crime, there have more details that have emerged pertaining to the Kill List. In fact, aside from professor Klug, there was indeed another professor of UCLA that was also held upon that kill list. However, this professor appeared to have been unharmed during the incident.

There are reports that Sarkar’s wife, who was just recently discovered diseased in her home in Minnesota, was also reported to have been held upon the kill list as well.

Sarkar had also previously obtained his undergraduate degree held in aerospace engineering from the IIT Kharagpur, and later on held a master’s degree from the Stanford University.
