BANGALORE, FEB. 22. A call from Chennai that Murugavelu's father was ill and was in hospital, kept Murugavelu and his family on the tenterhooks since Monday night. When they set off in the morning to reach Chennai by the Lalbagh Express, little did they know that it would be their last journey. Death awaited HSBC bank executive, Murugavelu, and three members of his family at Minerva Circle, when the autorickshaw in which they were travelling rammed a sugarcane-laden lorry around 6 a.m. They had left their Arakere house around 5 a.m. and were to catch the Lalbagh Express to Chennai. The autorickshaw driver, Harish, in an effort to reach the railway station faster, took the vehicle on the wrong side of the road and rammed the lorry. "Murugavelu came to know about his father's illness on Monday evening. His father, Kanaka Sabhapathi, had been admitted to a hospital," said his relative, Jayaram. "Murugavelu has many friends in Chennai and Bangalore," said Murugavelu's classmate, Ramesh, about his large number of friends. It is they who came to help Gowri Ganeshan, Murugavelu's mother-in-law, in taking the bodies to Chennai. While five accompanied Ms. Ganeshan, two of Murugavelu's friends joined them here. "I am grateful to you all for all the help," Ms. Ganeshan was heard expressing her gratitude to Murugavelu's friends. "It would have been hard for me to manage on my own," she said. Murugavelu, according to his friends, joined HSBC in Bangalore a year ago. He was the only son of his parents who live in Teynampet in Chennai, they said.
