His son, Akhilesh, managed to escape the flames and was rescued by a nearby Fire Services employee. However, Harikrishna, who was seated in the back seat, could not be rescued and succumbed to his injuries on the spot. The pair had visited a hospital earlier in the morning for dialysis treatment. The car caught fire suddenly near their home, with the doors locking and trapping them inside. Police have launched an investigation to determine the exact cause of the fire, though it remains undetermined at this time.",
