New Delhi: Amidst worldwide celebration over Barak Obama's historic victory as the first Afro-American President of America, there is a sad news for yet another Indian family. Till now six techies from Andhra Pradesh have already died under mysterious circumstances in the US.
This time it is the tragic story of Arpana Jinaga, a 24-year-old software professional from Hyderabad, was working in the US. Her body was found, a few hours before millions of Americans queued up to vote and change the destiny of their country.
Arpana, a wiz kid was working as a software quality engineer at EMC Corporation in Seattle. The Redmond Police in the US termed it as a highly suspicious death and started a full investigation. Her Hyderabad based father Dr Basavaraj C Jinaga is under shock after listening to the news.
“Last night we came to know about the incident. We don’t know the motive and we have any information about what had happened and they have given no information to us,” says Arpana’s father Dr Basavaraj C Jinaga.
Arpana's mother is a relative of Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yeddyurappa and they are originally from Karnataka. Her family is now leaving for the US to bring her body back to India.
