"Ramaseshan is in a severe state of mental shock and refuses to meet anyone," said his friend who did not want to be named. Ramaeshan heard of the tragedy when a family friend called him and broke the news. The friend said Ramaeshan's wife, Indira was living with Karthik's family and to take care of the children.
When asked if Ramaseshan would attend the funeral to take place in Los Angeles in a few days, the friend said it was not possible. "Ramaseshan's sisters are helping him cope with the trauma. Arrangements are being made in the US for the last rites," he said.
Karthik's father too had worked for UCO Bank. The two families were close and Karthik had fallen in love with Ramaseshan's daughter Subashri and the two had got married. Karthik was scheduled to visit the IIT campus in 2010 for the silver jubilee re-union of IIT alumni who graduated in 1985.
Los Angeles police found two suicide notes at Karthik's residence - one for the police and one for extended family and friends - and a will. Karthik spoke of his financial difficulties and took responsibility for killing his family, police said. He had an MBA in finance from University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), and had worked for PriceWaterhouseCoopers and Sony Pictures. But he had been unemployed for several months.
Another relative of Ramaseshan said that the family did not expect Rajaram to resort to this kind of mayhem and termed him a self-obsessed man who loved wealth. Rajaram's brother who is liaising with the police on the issue back in the US is also said to be making arrangements for the funeral. The family in Chennai was not forthcoming on any further details on the issue.
