ADILABAD: A 21-year-old third-year MBBS student from Kumurambheem Asifabad, who was pursuing MBBS in Vietnam, died in a road accident in Can Tho City, his father said on Thursday. A purported video of the accident has gone viral.
Arshid Ashrit, who was riding a bike, was killed in the accident on Wednesday, his father Arjun said.
According to reports, Ashrith, son of cloth merchants Arshid Arjun and Pratimah from Kagaznagar, was riding a motorcycle in a rash manner with a friend when he lost control and crashed into a house wall. He died on the spot, while his friend sustained injuries and is undergoing treatment.
His family is in touch with Union ministers from Telangana — G Kishan Reddy and Bandi Sanjay Kumar — to get his mortal remains back home.
BJP MLA from Sirpur, Palvai Harish Babu, visited them and consoled the grief-stricken family members.
