Rao`s father K Sudhkar Rao and his mother K Vijaylaxmi, who had been camping at the state capital since morning, were taken to the airport by the state government. The body was handed over to them, an official said. "Rao`s body would be cremated at Swargadwar at Puri," family sources said.
The 24-year-old student`s death was a mystery for many in the state as he was killed apparently without any specific reason. "My son was a brilliant student.

"We seek punishment for the culprits involved in the crime," Sudhkar Rao said.
