Congress former MP and candidate for the ongoing Lok Sabha byelection Sircilla Rajaiah has been taken into custody in connection with suspicious death of his daughter-in-law Sarika and her three kids.
The police shifted Mr. Rajaiah, his wife Madhavi and their son Anil Kumar to Subedari police station for questioning. Tension prevailed at Rajaiah's residence with hundreds of women led by AIDWA staging a protest demanding action against the former MP and his family members. The women turned so emotional that they wanted the police to leave the arrested outside the house and they would teach them a lesson.
The Inspector General of Police Navin Chand arrived on the spot and took stock of the situation. The Police Commissioner G. Sudheer Babu said that they were treating the case in a special manner and investigating from every possible angle to verify if it was a suicide or murder.
The police shifted the bodies to MGM Hospital mortuary for post-mortem. Deceased Sarika’s mother and her sister Archana visited the spot and accused Mr. Rajaiah and his family members of killing their kin.
