Mother to light Sarika's pyre

Warangal: With the post-mortem of ex-MP Rajaiah's daughter-in-law Sarika and her three children completed at the MGM hospital, the focus has now shifted to the cremation of the four bodies. 

While Viswakarma Samaj, the community to which Sarika belongs, has come forward to help in performing the last rites, Sarika's mother will lit the funeral pyre of her daughters and grand-children in Pothanagar shmashan Ghat.

However, questions still remain as to whether Rajaiah, his wife Madhavi and son Anil would be allowed to attend the last rites. 

Sarika, the estranged wife of Anil, who has been fighting a battle over the latter's extra-marital relationship, and her three children were found dead in the top floor of Rajaiah's residence a day before he was to file in papers for Warangal lok sabha bypoll. 

In another development, Sana, the woman with whom Sarika's husband Anil was romantically linked, was also taken into custody for questioning.
