In a tragic accident, a physiotherapist from Hyderabad died in a parachute crash in Kulu, Himachal Pradesh.

The parachute snapped from about two-floor height resulting in the spot death of Dr Lakka Chandrasekhar Reddy of Nagole area in Hyderabad.

According to his friend Vishal, who also accompanied him for the trip to Kulu, the freak mishap took place around 2 pm on Saturday.

The operator fractured his leg.

“Locals helped us to rush Sekhar to Lady Willingdon hospital. But, doctors declared him brought dead”, he said.

Vishal told Mirror that Chandrasekhar was among three friends who had gone to Kulu on August 8 for a four-day trip. They had originally planned the trip in April but postponed it due to a death in Vishal’s family.

Sekhar's family members met Union Minister of State for Home, G Kishan Reddy, to bring his mortal remains to Hyderabad.
