A tragic situation has unfolded for a family from Hanamkonda district, Telangana, following the death of a 32-year-old man, A Rajesh, in Mississippi, USA. The family, facing financial hardships, has appealed to both the Central and Telangana state governments for assistance in repatriating his body.
Rajesh, who hailed from Atmakur mandal, passed away on August 14, according to information provided by his friends in the US. The family was informed of his death on Thursday, and they are now grappling with the shock and logistical challenges of bringing his body back to India.
Rajesh’s mother and other family members are devastated by the news. His uncle, Bikshapathi, highlighted the family’s dire financial situation, stating that they are unable to afford the costs associated with traveling to the US or handling the repatriation of Rajesh’s remains. He has made a formal request to the Central and state governments for assistance.
Details surrounding Rajesh’s death remain unclear. While initial reports suggest he had high blood sugar levels and may have died of a stroke, the family is still awaiting precise information regarding the cause of death. The family has expressed their distress over the lack of clarity and their inability to be present in the US during this difficult time.
Rajesh had moved to the US in 2016 for higher studies after completing his M Pharma in Hanamkonda. He pursued an MS degree and was employed there, but reportedly lost his job during the COVID-19 pandemic. In recent times, he had been working part-time jobs.
The family is mourning the loss of Rajesh, who had planned to return to India for the first anniversary rituals of his father, who passed away last year. The sudden nature of his death has left the family in a state of shock and sorrow.
The Telangana government and the Indian Central authorities are urged to provide the necessary support to ensure Rajesh’s body is brought back to his native place, allowing the grieving family to conduct the final rites in accordance with their traditions.
