The bodies of the deceased were pulled out by rescue workers on Friday.

Naik had tested positive for COVID-19 last month and was under home isolation at Jagani thanda of Chivvemla mandal in Suryapet district.

According to Naik's relatives, he had fully recovered after treatment at home and had returned to Srisailam where he was living with his family at the quarters of TS Genco.
