My Father’s Illegal Assets Should Be Used To Set Up A Trust In Pranay’s Name: Amrutha

"My father's illegal assets should Be given back to their rightful owners," said Amrutha Varshini, the wife of Dalit boy Pranay who was mercilessly hacked to death on Friday in Miryalguda Of Nalgonda district in Telangana State.

In an exclusive interaction with Sakshi, Amrutha spoke with exceptional clarity and singular composure. She said that the ill-gotten wealth and illegal assets of her father Maruthi Rao, who got her husband brutally murdered should be given back to the rightful owners from whom he had grabbed them.

She also said that the rest of Rao's wealth should be ploughed into a charitable trust named after Pranay.

In a candid chat with Sakshi, Amrutha said that it was her mission in life to fight the cancerous evil of casteism which was gnawing at the vitals of society. The trust would lend an impetus to this movement which she hopes to undertake.

It may be recalled that Maruthi Rao and his brother Shravan started out as small time traders as dealers of a fair price shop. Over a period of time, Rao morphed into a realtor who wormed his way into the underbelly of society networking with politicians, officials and criminals. This evil nexus proved to be a powerful cocktail in driving him higher and helped him amass a fortune of over a Rs 100 crores as has been widely reported. It is worth mentioning here that Maruthi Rao had struck a deal for Rs 1 crore with terror suspect Mohammed Abdul Bari to kill Pranay. Bari, in turn, reached out to a contract killer from Bihar, Sharma through another accused in the Haren Pandya murder case, Asghar Ali of Hyderabad.
