Warangal: Former Congress MP Sircilla&nbsp;Rajaiah, his wife and son were arrested on Thursday night following&nbsp;their sustained grilling by police in connection with the&nbsp;death of his daughter-in-law and three grandsons at his&nbsp;residence here yesterday.
"Rajaiah, his wife and son have been arrested and produced&nbsp;at the residence of a magistrate," Assistant Commissioner of&nbsp;Police (Hanamkonda Sub-Division) Shoban Kumar told PTI.
The charred bodies of S Sarika and her three children&nbsp;Abhinav (7), and twins Ayaan and Shriyaan (3) were recovered&nbsp;yesterday from the house of the former MP at Hanamkonda.
Following a complaint by parents of S Sarika, the&nbsp;deceased daughter-in-law of Rajaiah, a case was registered&nbsp;against the former parliamentarian, his wife Madhavi and son&nbsp;Anil Kumar at Subedari police station under sections 498A&nbsp;(husband or relative of husband of a woman subjecting her to&nbsp;cruelty) and 306 (abetment to suicide) of IPC, and under&nbsp;section 174 (suspicious death) of CrPC for the death of three&nbsp;boys.
The trio who were taken away by police from their house&nbsp;for questionning last evening were quizzed again today and&nbsp;were arrested based on the evidence gathered by police.
The ACP said the doctors conducted postmortem of S Sarika&nbsp;and Abhinav and Ayaan and Shriyaan (3) at a government&nbsp;hospital today.
"The report has not been given yet and the FSL report is&nbsp;also awaited," the senior police officer said.
The bodies were subsequently handed over to Sarika's&nbsp;mother Lalitha and other family members who performed the last&nbsp;rites.
Warangal City Police Commissioner G Sudheer Babu had&nbsp;said that Rajaiah, Madhavi and Anil Kumar were among those&nbsp;present inside their house when the incident happened on the&nbsp;first floor of the two-storey building.
Meanwhile, a forensic expert Dr Naga Mohan, who conducted&nbsp;the postmortem along with other doctors, said the side bones&nbsp;of Sarika and the legs of Abhinav and Ayaan were found broken.&nbsp;"Thick particles of smoke were found in the chests of the&nbsp;dead persons," he said, adding that as the bodies were totally&nbsp;charred the viscera and other parts were sent to FSL for&nbsp;further assessment.
