Seethakka paid floral tributes and assured all support to the bereaved family members of the constable of the elite anti-Maoist force of Telangana. Bojju promised to extend help from the government.

He said that Praveen was a role model to tribals, but his untimely demise shocked him. Collector Rahul Raj and Superintendent of Police Guash Alam participated in the funerals and paid tributes.

A pall of gloom descended over the habitation, following the death of the constable. A large number of residents of the hamlet voluntarily took part in a procession carrying the body of the constable.

They recalled accounts with him. Praveen is survived by wife and two sons. He cracked a post in the greyhounds in 2012. Praveen came into contact with live electric snares set up by wildlife poachers and died on the spot on Monday.
