"I am writing this on behalf of my sister Vijaya, and my nephew Aniket who live in India. My brother-in-law was very hard working and a considerate person. He was a loving husband and a devoted father. Due to various circumstances he incurred financial debt in India because of which he travelled to the US a few years ago to try and make enough money to clear his debt, support his family in India, give them a better life and especially for their only son's education. He was working seven days a week almost twelve hours a day to make ends meet.", wrote Mahesh.

Karunakar's only son Aniket is studying and lives with his mother in Karimnagar district of Telangana.

Mahesh has requested people to fund the family as it will primarily help Karunakar's wife and son with funeral costs. The funding might also help Aniket in completing his education and provide the family with a ray of hope in such distressed conditions.
