The family of Karnataka student Naveen Shekarappa Gyanagoudar, who died in war-torn Ukraine, has decided to donate his body to a medical college in the state.
State Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai has announced that Naveen's body will reach Bengaluru International airport early on Monday, March 21.
Shekarappa, the student's father, said that he was saddened as the process of bringing back his son's body from Ukraine was postponed. "Now, the sadness has gone away after learning that we will be able to see him for the last time," he said.
He added that the body will reach the Chalageri village on March 21. After performing the last rites, the family has decided to donate the body to the SS Medical College of Davanagere. He said the decision has been taken to enable medical college students with their studies, News18 reported.
