While making arrangements for final rites in Korutla town, relatives of the second wife prevented the process and refused to allow the funeral till the property issue was settled. They questioned as to how the deadman’s second wife and her daughter would live since Narsimhulu had registered the entire property in the name of the first wife and her children, they questioned.

Based on the objection, family members stalled the funeral and kept the body in a freezer. The issue was solved with family members of the first wife assuring to register three acres of land available in Thakkallapalli, Kathalapur mandal in the name of the second wife’s daughter. Final rites of Narsimhulu were held after the registration process was completed in Kathalapur revenue office on Thursday. Narsimhulu, who had run a tours and travels agency in Korutla, has amassed huge property.
