The hacking to death of Pranay, 24-year-old husband of Amrutha Varshini, in Telangana, has shocked the conscience of many. Suspected to be a case of caste killing (the wife is a Vaishya and the husband is a Dalit), the murder is now the talk of the town. Amrutha is pregnant and she is currently in a hospital, taking treatment for BP. She has told the media that only her father Maruthi Rao is capable of committing such a heinous crime. Police investigation is on.

It was in January this year that Amrutha had married Pranay against her father's wishes. It was a love marriage. She has been in a state of shock ever since her husband was hacked to death yesterday with a machete in front of her eyes in the middle of a road.

Meanwhile, a marriage promo featuring the Pranay-Amurtha duo is out. Shot at the time of their marriage, the couple are seen welcoming a great life after marriage. Before he was brutally eliminated, Pranay was planning to go abroad with his wife after the latter's delivery. But then, cruelty happened.
