Sridhar Panuganti, an employee of Tech Mahindra (Americas) Inc, died in his sleep on November 27 in Buffalo, New York.
Family members said Panuganti Sridhar (39) was found dead in his apartment at 23, Slate Creek Drive, Buffalo, on November 27.
Police had to break open the door when the family members from Boduppal, Hyderabad, requested some known people to check on him as he was not responding to their calls.
Sridhar’s wife Jhansi Rani and five-year-old son came to India in January this year and stayed back as they could not return because of the Covid-19 situation.
Sreedhar had told them that he would come to India in February 2021 and take them along with him on their return.
The family has written to the Union ministry of external affairs and the Consulate General of India in New York to send the body to Hyderabad.
The family hails from Thorur in Warangal rural district. Warangal MP P Dayakar has written to the Indian Embassy in New York, requesting them to shift the body to India.
