Murdered Infosys techie's last rites performed

Kozhikode: The last rites of murdered Infosys techie Rasila Raju were conducted at her home town near here on Tuesday afternoon.

Hundreds of locals turned up for Raju's funeral in Kuruvattur as her body arrived from Mumbai earlier in the day.

Rasila is survived by her father who is an ex-serviceman and now works as a Home Guard here, while her brother works abroad.

Her mother passed away two years back.
