Lokesh Palacharla was en route to Bentonville to visit his wife, and Darshini Vasudevan, a Master’s graduate from the University of Texas at Arlington, was heading to visit her uncle. Farooq Shaik, who had recently completed his studies in the U.S., was also traveling with them.The families of the victims, now in deep grief, are awaiting the results of the DNA fingerprinting for confirmation. Darshini Vasudevan’s parents have appealed to India’s Union External Affairs Minister, S. Jaishankar, for assistance.The Anna Police and Fire Departments responded to the crash, with traffic being diverted as the highway remains shut down. The delay in identification has been exacerbated by the long holiday weekend in the U.S., prolonging the agony for the grieving families.
