The Hindu community from Swindon and further afield have continued to rally behind a grieving family, following the death of a man in the town on Saturday evening.

A fundraising page for the family of father-of-two Sridhar Munnaluri has raised over £33,000, just a day after being set up.

Tributes have been paid to Mr Munnaluri who leaves behind a wife and two young daughters, aged just five months and eight years.

Paying tribute to his friend, Mr Bhardwaj said: "Sridhar was a very religious Hindu, a fond neighbour and one of the most adored local tennis club members.

“As a community, we are trying everything possible to help the family going through these most difficult times here and the extended family in India.

“Needless to say, the whole community is in shock and very anxious as it happened right in the heart of the town.

"We urge the entire community to extend as much support you can to the family and stand together.”
