HYDERABAD: Family members of Dr D. Preethi, who died on Sunday, remembered her as a lively presence, having last met her during her younger sister’s wedding Vishalini’s on February 9.
Their father D. Narender, an RPF constable, took leave for around two weeks, but Dr. Preethi could get five days away from the Kakatiya Medical College.
Dr Preethi’s cousin Mudavath Balakrishna, an engineering graduate, told ‘Deccan Chronicle’ that although she was late to join the celebration, she got along well with the entire family and did not look distressed. “It was also a kind of reunion for us all cousins,” he said.
Her uncle said she looked happy. “There was not even a slight hint of the pain she was going through. Maybe she ensured not to show it, to not disturb the occasion and our happiness. She was such a brave girl. We still cannot believe that she is no more,” he said.
Her elder sister Pooja said when she last spoke to her on February 12, she told Dr Preethi to give it back to Dr Mohammed Saif if he continued harassing her.
Dr Preethi was the youngest of three daughters to Narender and Sharada who also have a son. Her elder sister Pooja and younger sister Vishalini are married and her younger brother Vamshi Prudhvi is studying Masters.
