Indian-Origin Man From Andhra Pradesh Found Dead After Kansas Flood IncidentPreviousNext

Venkatesh Doppalaudi, a 33-year-old Indian-origin man from Andhra Pradesh residing in Nebraska, was found dead in Kansas after his car was swept away by floodwaters near Wellington in Sumner County. Authorities located the submerged vehicle on South Oliver Road on Saturday, but the strong currents delayed rescue efforts. Despite search operations involving local fire departments, police drones, and air units, his body was recovered about 1.3 miles downstream on Sunday. His family sought help from local leaders following his disappearance.
