Aruna and Amos got married in 2016. However, because Aruna was a minor then, she was admitted to a home, while Amos was sent to prison under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offenses Act (POSCO Act) following a complaint lodged by Aruna's parents,

After several years, when Aruna became of legal age, the couple married and resided at Alwal village until a year ago. They later moved to Kurnool and settled in the Udyog Nagar locality. Aruna and Amos have a 4-year-old son named Akhil.

Surya Pradeep invited Amos for drinks and led him to an isolated location near Sareen Nagar on the night of Dec. 22. When Amos was in a highly intoxicated state, Surya Pradeep and his friend Jeevan proceeded to kill Amos using a rod. Then they burnt his body and left the area.

Following a complaint lodged by Amos' father, G Chinna Narasanna, the Kurnool IV town police, who launched the investigation into the case, arrested Aruna, Surya Pradeep and Jeevan.

All of them admitted and confessed to their involvement in the murder, police said.
