Parents of the student told pressmen that the body of their son was preserved at Saint Vincent’s Catholic Medical Centre of New York. They regretted that they were unable to bring it back to Mancherial, considering their weak financial background. They requested both the State and union governments to repatriate it to India and help them in taking glimpse of mortal remains.
