An Indian-origin student from Telangana died in a tragic fire accident in Germany on Wednesday, according to media reports.

The student has been identified as Thokala Hruthik Reddy, a native of Malkapur village in Chilpur mandal of Jangaon district, sources told Telangana Today.

Reddy had gone to Germany to pursue higher studies.

According to reports, a fire broke out at his residence on Wednesday.

In an attempt to escape the flames, Reddy reportedly jumped from the building and sustained critical injuries.

He was rushed to a hospital for treatment, but later succumbed to his injuries.

Local authorities in Germany have launched an investigation to determine the cause of the fire, NDTV reported.

Meanwhile, Reddy’s family and friends in Telangana have approached the Ministry of External Affairs and the Indian Embassy in Germany, seeking assistance to expedite the process of bringing his body back to India.
