The body of Nishith was brought here from Hyderabad on Wednesday night and placed at the Minister’s residence located at the Narayana Medical College and Hospital on the city outskirts.
A father’s grief
TDP activists visited the house throughout the night to pay their last respects. Mr. Narayana, who returned from London in the early hours, broke into tears on seeing the body of his son. Mr. Narayana told his friends that no father should suffer such a loss and that the accident took place within hours of his speaking to Nishith over the phone from London. Panchayat Raj Minister N. Lokesh had arrived here along with the Ministers, MPs, and MLAs on Wednesday night.
Expressing grief over the accident, Mr. Lokesh said that the accident brought to an abrupt end a promising career of a youngster.
