He suspected that the ash belonged to some other body and his mother's body had not been actually burnt.He gave a complaint to the Cantonment inspector,But the inspector did not investigate the complaint so far.Theburing of a body would take atleast three to four hours.But the ash had been given immediately.
The party held various demonstration to draw the attention of the officials,and the Chief secretary was also informed about the scam.He charged that the higher officials of the corporation were involved in the scam.
There were many suspicions about the running of the crematorium.Hence the complaint given to the inspector by rajasekhar should be transferred to the CBI for a fair investigation,he said.
