Hyderabad, July 1 -- Distraught relatives of Nikhil Reddy and Sriramya, who recently got married, fear the worst as they wait in bated breath for the couple's DNA test results following the deadly chemical explosion at Sangareddy's Sigachi Industries' pharma plant.

The couple were employees and were on the site at the time of the powerful explosion that has so far claimed 45 lives.

Hailing from Kadapa district in Andhra Pradesh, Nikhil and Sriramya entered wedlock in Arya Samajam. They had planned to hold a traditional Andhra wedding ceremony for their loved ones.

But their happiness was drastically cut short. There has been no news of their whereabouts since the blast, relatives say.
