Two Telangana students drowned and died in the USA. Sivadatta from Tandur of Karabad district and Utvik from Nakkalagutta landed in the USA a few months ago for higher education. Both are pursuing MS at St. Louis University.
Since it was the weekend, they had a party with friends in St. Louis on Saturday afternoon and went down for a fun swim in the pond in their inebriated state of mind.
While the couple of other friends retreated as the water was too cold, Utjak and Shivdutta continued to venture but didn't come back.
On Saturday, the patrolling police recovered Shivdutta’s body from the lake. However, the body of Utvik was not found till Sunday night.
The parents of the deceased living in India are in tears and expecting the bodies of their sons to be repatriated as soon as possible.
This matter has already been brought to the notice of MLA Rohit Reddy, State Education Minister Sabitha Reddy and IT Minister KTR requesting to take steps to provide the dead body of the students soon.
