Saturday, January 13, 2024 – A toddler has died after her father accidently reversed over her in his SUV as he was leaving for the supermarket to buy groceries.
1-year-old Rishwika Salibindla died after her father Joseph
Reddy Salibindla unknowingly backed into her out the front of his property in
Edna Avenue, Toongabbie, in Sydney's northwest, just before 5.30pm on
Friday, Jan. 12.
Mr Salibindla had entered his Audi SUV to get groceries at
his local supermarket, unaware that his daughter had followed him out the door.
He then reversed over the girl unaware she was behind the
vehicle, before exiting the vehicle to find her covered in blood.
Mr Salibindla's wife Sravanthi Thirumalareddy and the
couple's two sons who were inside the family home at the time of the incident
rushed outside following the horrific incident.
Mr Salibindla attempted to keep Rishwika alive until
six ambulance crews from the NSW Ambulance Service arrived at the
scene.
The girl later died from her injuries.
The distraught father of three was later taken to Parramatta
police station for questioning and spent Friday night assisting officers with
their enquiries.
The 41-year-old was seen sobbing in the arms of one of his
relatives before he was taken away by officers.
No charges have been laid.
Mrs Thirumalareddy spent hours looking at the crime scene as family members and locals comforted the devastated mum.
Rishwika's uncle Joseph Salibindla said and he and his
family would be by Mrs Thirumalareddy's side as she came to terms with the loss
of her daughter.
"We will stay here with her, me and my wife," he
told The Daily Telegraph.
"Whatever we can do."
A crime scene was set up at the property as officers
continue to investigate the incident.
A report will be prepared for the coroner.
