The dreams of Umali Naik and Saidamma to see their son D. Karthik, second year student of IIT Hyderabad make it big was shattered after the body of their only son was retrieved from the sea near a beach in Jodugullapalem in Visakhapatnam on Tuesday.
Mr. Karthik had apparently ended his life after he went missing from the hostel from July 19. He was found dead under suspicious circumstances under Arilova police station limits in Visakhapatnam and is suspected to have died by drowning in the sea off Jodugullapalem.
The meritorious student, who secured a top rank in the JEE Mains and Advanced examination chose IITH to pursue his engineering dream. He was a brilliant student right from his school days, his sister Sathvika, studying final year BTech in Hyderabad said.
