On December 28, when Devender Reddy, a software engineer and a TRS spokesperson, was found dead in New Jersey under mysterious circumstances, the news came as a shock. Reddy was a well-known NRI and his sudden death is currently being investigated. The exact cause of Reddy's death is yet to be determined, as per news reports.

As someone who played an instrumental role in establishing the American Telangana Society, Reddy was quite famous in his circle. The TRS used his services because he used to be an informed spokesman.

Born to Narsi Reddy and Bharathamma, natives of the Devarakonda mandal in Nalgonda district, Reddy is said to have died because of an explosion in his car. A fire accident is also suspected. Condoling his death, TRS MP J Santosh Kumar wrote, "Deeply saddened by the news that our party's Executive Committee member and media in-charge in USA, Sri Devender Reddy Nallamada garu, is no more. He was a big fan of Sri KCR garu and just a call away to help people in distress. Condolences to his family members at this hour of grief."

The departed soul is survived by his wife, daughter, and his mother.
