The tragic incident occurred in the early hours of the day near Moosapet in Kukatpally when the two friends , who were on a motorbike, met with an accident.

G. Harikrishna, a software engineer, died on the spot when a truck hit the two-wheeler. K. Ramesh, who was driving the bike, survived the accident but could not overcome the shock of his friend’s death. He went to a nearby area, Bharat Nagar, and committed suicide.

Ramesh’s body was found on a railway track. Police said he apparently jumped before a train to end his life.

The youth, both in their 20s, hail from Guntur district of Andhra Pradesh and had been living together in a hostel in Kukatpally.

Harikrishna had returned from Malaysia a few days ago and was working with a software company. Ramesh was an employee of a private firm.
