Kurnool man missing in US; parents suspect suicide attempt

HYDERABAD: A 25-year-old man from Kurnool, Prudhvinath Kanduri, has gone missing in Delaware, US. Parents suspect he could have attempted suicide.
Empty vials of Diphenhydramine, and knives, along with a blood-stained napkin were found near his residence in Delaware by the police on August 21. "From the number of empty Diphenhydramine vials, which contained a total of 2 grams, and the blood stains -- it seems like a clear case of attempted suicide," the parents Rajeswari Kanduri and Gopalkrishna Kanduri said in a letter to the US authorities on Tuesday.
The parents in India wrote a letter to the Embassy of India in Washington DC and the police, stating that their son 'might be dying' and that he should be located.
Letters were also addressed to the Chief of Police, Delaware, the Mayor, Wilmington and the Governor of Delaware on August 22. New Castle County police have issued an alert and are trying to locate Kanduri who is said to have gone missing from Saddle Ridge Crossing.
"We are writing to you from a small town called Kurnool in India. Our son resides at 21 Bridal Path, Wilmington DE 19808. Our son has been missing for about a day now and when his worried friends found that he has been searching for ways to commit suicide on his tablet PC, they complained to the local police yesterday afternoon around 4pm," they said in the letter.
The police personnel had reportedly visited the residence a little later in the evening.
According to the parents, Kanduri allegedly attempted suicide on the morning of August 21. Calls to his phone went unanswered.
"We are extremely worried for his life. If he is not located immediately and taken to a hospital, he may not survive. Please ensure that our dear son's right to life is protected," Rajeswari Kanduri and Gopalkrishna Kanduri said in the letter to the US authorities.
