BENGALURU: Techie Madhusudhan Rao, a resident of Richie’s Garden in Ramamurthy Nagar in the city, was among the casualties in the Pahalgam terror attack on Tuesday. Originally hailing from Nellore in Andhra Pradesh, he was among the tourists killed in the terrorist attack at Baisaran meadow in Pahalgam.

Madhusudhan’s family was part of a 10-member group which had gone on a trip to Kashmir three days ago and were staying in Srinagar. Madhusudhan, a software professional, was on vacation with his family, including his wife, Kamakshi Prasanna, daughter, daughter Medashree and and Mukunda Sri Dutta.

The family had gone to Kashmir on Sunday afternoon. While having food on Tuesday, a terrorist attack occurred, and Madhusudhan’s family was caught in the crossfire and Madhusudhan died.

Madhusudhan Rao’s friend Malatesh said that he was a good person and association member, active in all activities, and had been living in Bengaluru for 7-8 years. “It was shocking to hear about the incident”, he said.

Madhusudhan’s parents Tirupal and Padma, who live in Nellore district of Andhra Pradesh, are unaware of their son’s death. They are heart patients and make a living by selling bananas in the market. Madhusudhan’s body will likely be taken from Srinagar to Chennai and then to his hometown in Nellore district for the last rites.
