A profoundly tragic incident occurred on Sunday when Praneet, a Master's student from Hyderabad, drowned in Lake Clear, Toronto. Praneet, who had traveled from Hyderabad’s Meerpet area to Canada for his higher education, was enjoying a birthday celebration for his brother with friends when the accident took place.
Praneet and his friends had decided to swim in the lake as part of the birthday festivities. However, what was meant to be a joyful celebration turned into a nightmare when Praneet encountered difficulties while swimming. Despite the immediate efforts of his friends and emergency services, Praneet was unable to be saved.
The heartbreaking news of his drowning was conveyed to his parents in Hyderabad by his distressed friends, who were present at the scene. The family, already overwhelmed with grief, is now facing the added challenge of repatriating Praneet’s body from Canada to India.
In their time of sorrow, Praneet’s family has urgently reached out to the Indian government, appealing for swift action to facilitate the return of his remains. They are requesting assistance to expedite the complex and often lengthy process involved in bringing their loved one back home. This appeal underscores the family's deep anguish and the practical difficulties they face as they navigate the bureaucratic and logistical hurdles during this incredibly difficult period.
