Naga Kumar's paternal uncle, Venugopala Rao, said they received the information from his friends.

Two of his friends were sitting on the water body's bank while Lenin and another friend went for a swim downstream. "Lenin knows swimming. He even went inside and came back to the bunk once. On the second attempt, he somehow drowned," Rao was quoted as saying by TOI.

According to Rao, his nephew went to Canada in August 2021 to pursue an MS degree at the University of Lakehead. After completing his studies, he was currently searching for a job. In the meantime, Naga Kumar was working part-time as a supervisor at a restaurant.
