Dr. Kanike Priyanka, a 28-year-old medical student from Rajamahendravaram G.S.L. Medical College, passed away on Friday after being pronounced brain dead three days prior.

Priyanka was immediately transported to a GSL group-owned private hospital where she was declared brain dead. On August 4, with her parents' consent, she was transferred to a private hospital in Hyderabad. The attackers, identified as S. Daswanth and Andrew Joseph Edwards, have been apprehended and a case has been filed under BNS 125 (A).
The parents of the deceased opted for organ donation in Hyderabad. The Indian medical college's management informed The Hindu that the parents gave consent for organ donation on Friday.
