Sai Tejaswi, a Cranfield University master’s student in aeronautics and space engineering, passed away a few days ago. According to her family, she drowned in the waters off Brighton Beach on April 11. Since then, her body has been kept in a UK hospital.

To fund the transfer of Sai’s remains from the UK to India, her family set up a crowdfunding page. They set a goal of 20,000 pounds and had raised 19,000 pounds by evening.

“Your donation will ensure that Sai is able to return to her home country and be laid to rest with the dignity and respect she deserves,” the family said
