New Delhi: Most of the world has been celebrating Barack Obama's victory in the presidential elections of the USA. But in India's Andhra Pradesh, a state that sends many techies to the USA, there are some families who are grieving.

Over 6 young techies from Andhra Pradesh alone have died mysteriously in the USA in the last two years. The latest victim is 24 year old Aparna Jinaga from Hyderabad.

Arpana Jinaga, a software professional was found, a few hours before milllions of Americans queued up to vote and change the destiny of their country.

Her Hyderabad based father Dr. Basavaraj C Jinaga is shocked to say the very least.

"Last night we came to know about this incident. We do not know the motive and we do not have any information about how this happened. They (the USA police) have also told us nothing more," said a grief stricken Basavraj Jinaga.

Arpana, a wiz kid was working as a software quality engineer at EMC Corp in Seattle.

The Redmond police in the US termed it as a highly suspicious death and started a full investigation.

Arpana's mother is a relative of Karnataka chief minister B S Yeddyurappa and they are originally from Karnataka.

Her family is now leaving for the US to bring her body back to India.

What is more alarming is the unending spate of the mysterious deaths of techies from Andhra Pradesh working in the US.

Arpana is the sixth young techie from Andhra Pradesh to be killed on the American soil in the last two years.

Just two months ago, T Soumya Reddy and her cousin Vikram Reddy were killed in the USA.

Not a single case has been cracked so far.

A Srinivas, a post graduation student of medicine was killed last year.

Chandrasekhar Reddy Komma and Kiran Kumar Allam, both students of doctoral thesis, were also killed last year.

Jayalakshmi, wife of a techie and her two children were found dead at their house near Detroit, last week. Her Nerusu Lakshminivasa Rao is missing.

Over a lakh software and management professionals from Andhra Pradesh alone are working in the US.

Increasing incidents of mysterious deaths have sent shock waves across Andhra Pradesh and Andhraites in the US.
