According to inspector AC Balanagi Reddy, Prasad and Anjali (28) are residing at Parsigutta along with their two sons Anirudh (10) and Amruth Tej (8). Prasad who had worked as a carpenter for some time has got addicted to alcohol after failing to find work. He used to harass his wife for money who works as a teacher in a private school.
