Shadnagar student dies in California

Something fishy: Family members

Arvind Reddy, 25, from Chinnarevella village in Balanagar mandal of the district, pursuing higher studies of masters in California (USA), died on Wednesday under ‘suspicious’ circumstances. Son of Sridhar Reddy and Vasudevi, Arvind had done B Tech in the district. He left for the US three years back to study MS in St Jose College, California. His family members said here on Thursday that the youth had spoken with them the previous night, saying he was ‘alright’.

However, on Thursday morning they had received a phone call from Arvind’s friends stating that he was dead. The family members, including uncles Venkatram Reddy and Rammohan Reddy, expressed doubts over the death, since Arvind was hale and hearty till Wednesday. Their suspicion was strengthened since his friends did not give the cause of death.
