A Telugu student doing his MS in the USA was killed in a road accident in the Texas state on Wednesday.

According to information received by phone by Mr Puli Venkateswar of Kagajnagar in Warangal district this morning, his son Puli Rajesh was killed in the accident. “My son came here two years back for the marriage of his sister but now we are getting back his dead body,” a saddened Venkateswar told journalists at Kagajnagar.

Rajesh mother was sick and the death news was not passed on to her as she may develop further health troubles after hearing about the incident.

“He always stood first in the class from the very beginning and he insisted he must go to the US for studying,” said Venkateswar, a railway employee, with tears rolling down his eyes. (JUBS)
