A 20-year-old student from Khammam, Kiran Kumar Raju Srinadharaju, lost his life in a drowning incident at Sand Hills Town in Missouri, United States.
A native of Chinnakorukondi village in Kalluru mandal of Khammam district, Kiran was studying for an MS in Information Systems at St. Louis University.
After completing a B.Sc. in Computer Science from Osmania University, he went to the US last November to pursue higher studies.
The family members of Kiran received the information on Sunday evening from his college and the Indian Consulate.
On Saturday, Kiran, along with three friends, went to a community swimming pool at Sand Hills Town. Unfortunately, he drowned as he did not know how to swim.
Kiran Kumar’s mother resides in Hyderabad, and his father passed away a few years ago.
Meanwhile, a pall of gloom descended on Chinnakorukondi after news of Kiran’s death was broadcast on news channels.
