HYDERABAD: An information technology (IT) professional, G Bharath Reddy from Hyderabad, and his parents have died in a road accident in Dallas, Texas in the USA. Bharat Reddy’s sister G Mounika Reddy, also a software engineer and working there, has suffered critical injuries.
“Mounika requires multiple surgeries for the injuries she has suffered,” a relative of the family, Yugandhar Reddy, a resident of Ramanthapur, told TOI on Sunday. He said from the preliminary information they received, the accident occurred on November 27 (Friday) in the USA. There were six people in the car which met with the accident. The family was reportedly on their way somewhere or returning home after a function when the accident took place. The family has relatives in the US, who have approached the local police and the hospital where 31-year-old Mounika has been admitted.
In July, 28-year-old Bharath Reddy had invited his parents G Narasimha Reddy and mother Venamma, residents of Turka Yamjal in the city, to Texas so that they could stay with them.
Narsimha Reddy, who works as a bus conductor in TSRTC, went with his wife as his children said since they were working from home due to Covid situation, they could stay with him. The couple were to return on January 1, 2021. However, tragedy stuck and they died in the road accident in Texas. The relatives in Hyderabad do not have any details as to how the mishap took place.
The family originally hails from Peddachinthakunta village of Marikel mandal in Narayanpet district and settled in Turka Yamjal.
