"My son said he would be coming home after his exams. He was waiting for the exam schedule to be released to book a flight ticket. On Sunday night, I received a phone call from Jayasurya's roommate Viswanath who informed me about the tragedy," he said. Satyanarayana said Viswanath is making all efforts to repatriate the mortal remains of Jayasurya and is taking up the matter with the Indian embassy for completion of local formalities.
