The trial, which spanned over six years, concluded with the court finding all the accused guilty. Subhash Sharma, the hired killer, received the death penalty, while the other six accused were sentenced to life imprisonment. Maruthi Rao, the prime conspirator and father-in-law of the victim, was among those convicted. Rao, however, ended his life in March 2020, leaving his actions and their consequences to be dealt with by the courts. The murder plot took shape in August 2018, when the hired hitman Subash Kumar, alias Sharma, along with Mohammed Abdul Bari, arrived in Miryalguda. Despite two failed attempts on Pranay’s life, the conspirators persisted. On September 14, 2018, they successfully carried out the brutal killing, hackingPranay to death. Following the tragic loss, Amrutha gave birth to a son on January 30, 2019, coinciding with what would have been her wedding anniversary. The couple, despite facing opposition from their families, wed at Arya Samaj in Hyderabad.
