There were more four people in the car, Velivolu Basava Punnaiah, Veeramachineni Sivaramakrishna, V. B. R. Chowdary and Kadiyala Venkataratnam. All of them were on their way to visit a wildlife sanctuary in Alaska.

Murthy went to the U.S.A. a few weeks back to attend a Gandhi Institute of Technology and Management (GITAM) University alumnus meet with the GITAM Alumni Association of North America (GANAM) in California on the 6th of October. GITAM was founded by M. V. V. S. Murthy. He established and lead the foundation with many universities in Visakhapatnam, Vizianagaram and East Godavari in association with the Andhra Pradesh Government.
