An Indian-origin student from Telangana died in a tragic fire accident in Germany on Wednesday, according to media reports.

The student has been identified as Thokala Hruthik Reddy, a native of Malkapur village in Chilpur mandal of Jangaon district, sources told Telangana Today.

Reddy had gone to Germany to pursue higher studies.

According to reports, a fire broke out at his residence on Wednesday.
