Telangana techie’s body reaches home from US: Relatives attack his wife, blame her for suicide

Written by : TNM Staff

The body of Madhukar Reddy Gudur, the techie who allegedly committed suicide in the US last week, was cremated on Tuesday at his home town Bhongir in Telangana. However, during the cremation, Madhukar's relatives attacked his wife Swati, and blamed her for his decision to kill himself. 

The angry relatives asked Swati to go away when she came to attend the funeral. Visuals from local media channels show a big crowd pushing and pulling even as a man can be seen randomly throwing punches at the centre of the gathering.  

Swati and her mother later approached the police to seek protection.

37-year-old Madhukar was found hanging from a fan in his house in Seattle on April 4. Before ending his life, Madhukar had sent a mail to his parents, requesting them to forgive him.

Madhukar and Swati, who is also a software professional in the northwestern US city, had recently moved into their new home with their daughter. Marital dispute is believed to have led Madhukar to kill himself. According to his family, he was very well off and did not have any financial problems.
 
An alumnus of BITS Pilani, Madhukar was living in the US since 2010 and was working for a multi-national company. 

His relatives said after the marriage he had stopped visiting his parents and they blamed Swati for this alienation.
