Srinivas Kuchibotla Body Brought To Hyderabad 

Hyderabad: The body of Srinivas Kuchibotla, an engineer who was shot dead by an American racist in the USA last week, has been brought to Hyderabad on Monday night. His wife Sunayana and his brother accompanied the body in a special flight.

Telangana Transport Minister P. Mahender Reddy, Malkajgiri MP Ch. Malla Reddy, Kutbullapur MLA Vivekananda Goud, MLC Shmbipur Raju, AP Minister Palle Raghunath Reddy and several other leaders paid tributes to Kuchibotla at the airport.

When the body was shifted to his home in Bowrampet, his parents Madusudan and Varshini collapsed in grief and distress.

The funeral will be performed at Mahaprasthanam in Jubilee Hills. Srinivas’ friends and hundreds of people from various parts of city and his native Machilipatnam thronged the house to have a last glance of the body.

It may be recalled that a white American opened fire at Srinivas and his friend Alok in a crowded suburban Kansas City bar. The shooter, Adam Purinton used "racial slurs" before he started shooting on Wednesday night. While Srinivas died on the spot, Alok survived serious injuries.

Meanwhile, Adam Purinton was booked for murder and attempt to murder and was produced before a court. If proved guilty, he could be sentenced to death.
