Hyderabad, Sep 1 (IBNS) : Hyderabad’s Kamineni Hospital has dismissed four employees after a selfie of them posing with the body of Telugu Desam Party leader Nandamuri Harikrishna went viral on social media, The News Minute reports.

Harikrishna, son of former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and Telugu Desam Party founder NT Rama Rao, died after a road accident on Wednesday. The selfie was reportedly taken soon after he was pronounced dead.

“We have dismissed the four from service effective today,” Ravi, the hospital’s spokesperson told The News Minute on Friday. “The hospital staff and administration apologises to the public for this insensitivity on the part of the said individuals.”

Many social media users had criticised the photograph.

Harikrishna was driving to Kavali in Nellore district when his car crashed into a road median on Nalgonda Highway. A grievously injured Harikrishna succumbed in the hospital.
