The Sankranti festival brings together friends and family members at their hometowns and is celebrated with great joy. But the Sankranthi has spurred tragedy into the lives of two Telugu software employees who died due to excessive alcohol consumption.
Let us have a look at the tragic story involving two Telugu software engineers from Chittoor district who died while competing to drink 19 beers in a fateful competition.
Going into the story, on the occasion of Sankranthi festival, six young men held a party in Bandavaddipalli village in Chittoor district. Two of them, Avalakunta Manikumar (34) and Vemula Pushparaj (26), competed to drink beer, consuming 19 bottles between 3 PM and 7:30 PM.
