Expressing her anguish, Rama said, “The murderer ruthlessly butchered my family. He even killed my two-year-old nephew, Uday, and five-month-old, Urvashi. Appalaraju should pay the price for committing such a heinous crime. He can’t simply walk free. We need justice for our loss. The accused should be hanged.”
