K Ravi Teja, had gone to the US in 2022 and was looking for a job after completing his MS course eight months ago, they said, and urged the government to help in bringing back his mortal remains here as early as possible.

"I have come to know that my son was shot dead. My appeal to the government is to send back the mortal remains as early as possible. I am not able to speak anything else," his grieving father told reporters.

"Whether I will be alive or not till that time (the body arrives)," his father said, fighting back tears.

Teja had told his father that he would come back home after securing a job.
