Hubballi techie’s mortal remains to arrive today from London

Hubballi: The mortal remains of a techie from Hubballi, who allegedly committed suicide in London on March 13, is likely to arrive in the city on Monday morning.
The deceased is a 37-year-old resident of Navanagar in Hubballi, and was working in London since the last seven years. His body remained in London due to suspension of international flights due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
His parents wanted to perform their son’s last rites in Hubballi. The government of India launched Vande Bharat flights to repatriate stranded Indians, and one such flight will be landing in Bengaluru, in which the authorities have permitted to transport the techie’s mortal remains, said an official from the district administration.
Since the mortal remains are being brought from a Covid-19 affected area, the deceased’s parents and family members have been intimated to follow standard protocols, and those who are coming to Hubballi along with the mortal remains, as well as those who attend the final rites, should undergo institutional quarantine at their own cost. Only 20 people will be allowed to take part in the final rites, sources added. The deceased’s parents and family members were reluctant to speak to the media.
