30-year-old, Dr Akkaldelvi Srinivas from Andhra Pradesh was found brutally murdered in Pennsylvania over the weekend. According to his family they were informed on Sunday by Srinivas's friends after he was found dead in a pool of blood at his home in the US.

While reports say there were stab wounds on his neck, the possibility of a shootout has also not been ruled out yet.

Back home in Hyderabad, his grieving family is bewildered by his gruesome death.

Srinivas' Brother, A Ravinder said, "We've been told there were stab wounds on his neck, but only after the investigation will we have the full information."

Srinivas was pursuing his second year MD in Internal Medicine at the Scranton University in Pennsylvania. He had gone to the US in 2002, after completing his MBBS from Gandhi Medical College in Hyderabad.
