By Udumula Sudhakar Reddy The body of Ansu Kuruvilla, who died under mysterious circumstances three-and-half-years ago in the city, was reburied on Sunday after her father won a long legal battle.
Ansu, an employee of an MNC in Madhapur, had died under suspicious circumstances in her house in 2006. Her husband Ribu was subsequently arrested though he denied any involvement.
The case which was handled by Banjara Hills police was transferred to the Crime Investigation Department and then to the CBI.The CID had converted it to a case of dowry death.
In Kerala, the church authorities refused a religious burial as it was alleged that it was a case of suicide. Ansu's father contended that it was a case of murder and that her body had to buried as per religious rituals.
The family finally secured the court's support on Saturday. Mr Kuruvilla, who is from Kottayam, said, "The Marathoma Syrian Church has allowed the burial. The court said that I can take up reburial if the CBI did not have any objection."
Ansu's exhumed body was taken from the Lingampally cemetery, where it was buried without proper religious rituals, and buried in accordance with the rituals in Kerala.
