Heart-rending scenes were witnessed at the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport when parents of Srinivas Kuchibhotla came to receive his mortal remains late on Monday.

Srinivas’s body arrived from New Jersey to the city via Mumbai on a commercial flight, escorted by his wife Sunayana Dumala, his younger brother and his wife. The family in Hyderabad reached the airport more than an hour before the expected arrival of the flight. ”It was a sad gathering for us at the airport. At this time all we wish to do is to stand by his parents and wife,” said one of Kuchibhotla’s relatives who was escorted by the State government in a convoy of vehicles along with rest of the family. The body was taken to the family’s residence in Praneet Nature Bounty in Bachupally on the city outskirts where other relatives waited. The last rites are expected to be performed at Mahaprasthanam in Jubilee Hills on Tuesday morning.

On behalf of the Telangana government, Transport Minister M. Mahender Reddy accompanied the family to receive Kuchibhotla’s body and his wife Sunayana. Malkajigiri MP Ch. Malla Reddy was also present at the airport. The regional passport officer, a representative of the Ministry of External Officer, was also present to receive the body.

Shot while he was enjoying the evening after the day’s work on February 22 with his Indian colleague and friend, Srinivas Kuchibhotla succumbed at a hospital in Olathe, Kansas, to the gunshot wounds.

Kuchibhotla’s friend Alok Reddy Madasani suffered a bullet wound on his left thigh. During a vigil organised by the local Indian community for his departed friend on Sunday, a visibly shaken Mr. Madasani said he wished the incident was a dream.

“All my happiest moments that happened in my life after moving to the U.S., were with Srinivas. It is hard to believe he is no more,” Mr. Madasani said, adding that the shooting was an isolated incident and does not respect the true spirit of Kansas, Midwest and the U.S.

Hyderabad: As Indian techie Srinivas Kuchibhotla’s last rites were performed at his residence in Hyderabad on Tuesday, his wailing mother said she would not allow her younger son to return to the US.

“I will not allow my younger son to go back to the US again. I want him and his family to return to Hyderabad for good,” Hindustan Times quoted Kuchibhotla’s mother Parvatha Vardhini as saying.

Kuchibhotla was killed in the shooting by US Navy veteran Adam Purinton at a bar in Olathe, Kansas, last Wednesday. Two others, including Indian engineer Alok Madasani and an American national, who tried to intervene to stop the shooting, were injured in the attack.

His younger brother, Sai Kiran, is also employed in the US and lives there with his family.

“I will not allow them to go back. I used to tell Srinivas also to return, if he felt insecure there. But he used to say he was very safe and secure,” their mother said.

Kuchibhotla’s dead body was handed over to his family in Hyderabad on Monday night. Srinivas's wife Sunayana Dumala had accompanied the mortal remains of her husband from Kansas.

A large number of people from various walks of life visited Kuchibhotla’s residence in Praneet Nature Bounty colony in Mallampet on Tuesday to pay last respects to him before the last rites.

In March, Adam Purinton pleaded guilty in Johnson County to a charge of first-degree murder

A U.S. Navy veteran, who is serving life in prison for killing Indian engineer Srinivas Kuchibhotla and injuring two others at a suburban Kansas City bar last year, on Monday pleaded guilty to hate crime and firearm charges.

Adam Purinton admitted that he fatally shot Kuchibhotla in February 2017 after confronting him and another man Alok Madasani from India at Austins Bar and Grill in Olathe.

He is already serving life in prison on a state murder charge.

He faces a maximum sentence of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole, which is the sentence that the prosecution and defense are jointly requesting. Sentencing is scheduled for July 2.

“Hate crimes are acts of evil, and the Department of Justice has prioritized their zealous prosecution,” said Acting Associate Attorney General Jesse Panuccio.

In this case, Purinton embarked on a murderous rampage with clear premeditation to kill on the basis of race, color, religion, and national origin, he said.

“It was a hate crime, and he is being brought to justice. While we cannot ameliorate the irreparable harm to the victims and their families, we hope that securing this guilty plea brings them some measure of closure. And this prosecution sends a message across the nation: hate crimes will not be tolerated,” Mr. Panuccio said.

Several weeks before the shooting, Kuchibhotla and Mr. Madasani, his friend and fellow engineer at Garmin, were at Austins when Purinton saw them and made a comment to another patron.

“Did you see the terrorists on the patio?” Mr. Purinton asked.

The patron told him they were from India and they were not terrorists.

On February 22, 2017, the two friends were once again having an after-work drink at the bar when Purinton approached and confronted them.

He demanded to know where they were from, then poked Kuchibhotla in the chest, and called him a terrorist.

“Get out of my country,” he yelled.

That’s when bar patrons, including Ian Grillot, asked Purinton to leave and he was escorted from the business by employees.

Purinton then went home, changed clothes and got his 9mm semi-automatic handgun.

He returned to the bar, covered his face with a scarf to hide his identity and went inside. He then fired eight shots at the two Indian men. Kuchibhotla was hit by at least four bullets. Mr. Madasani was shot in the leg.

As he fled from the shooting, Mr. Grillot ran after him. Purinton turned and shot him.

Later, Purinton called a friend and said he was on the run from police because he had shot “two Iranians.”

He was charged with murder in Johnson County and with the hate crimes in federal court.

In March, he pleaded guilty in Johnson County to a charge of first-degree murder as well as two counts of attempted first-degree murder for wounding Mr. Madasani and Mr. Grillot.

Earlier this month, a Johnson County judge sentenced Purinton to life in prison.

*************

Kuchibhotla (32) hailed from Hyderabad while Alok Madasani, also 32, hails from Warangal town in Telangana. They were working as aviation programme managers at Garmin, an electronics manufacturer.

Garmin do sell equipment to US Military and its like to stop relations .

**********

This cases is different and it doesnt comes under hate crimes on the basis of color, race, religion etc because this murder of this Indian Immigrant who was working in U.S Defense equipment manufacturing company for US Military and this shows there are certain countries who doesnt want military co operation between United States of America and Republic of India.

Kuchibhotla was working along with the U.S Military expert on the fighter plane panels which i think was linked to the better navigation.

CIA and FBI might have already aware who are behind Adam Purinton , Just imagine if Indian immigrant is working with US Military expert , people are being informed by the US Police in all the neighbourhoods. This cases is like assasination.

Many people around the globe are thinking that muslims are the last "evil" in this world, and after that it will be no body's turn. For these innocent people, let me tell that, before muslims, it were communists, and muslims became party against communists not knowing that next is their turn. Many people today are party against muslims, not knowing that next is their turn. So, for example, Hindus are the next terrorists. RSS like organizations are fed by west, just because they are sure they will be able to "defeat"(slaughter) muslims, and next target should be ready, already.
