They have two daughters. 10 years back they purchased house site of 6 cents in Sarpavaram. Later they went to Andaman, and settled there and were doing cloths business. In the year 2004 they lost everything in Tsunami. In this helpless situation they returned back to Sarpavaram empty handed. In the year 2009 they purchased material and started to construct house in their site and completed one floor. As per the documents an open place on the southern side of her site is meant for path to walk. But Chikkala Suryanarayana has raised an objection saying that the site belongs to him and if she pays Rs. 30,000/- then only he will allow her to walk. As there was no other way Ammulu agreed to pay the amount, has paid Rs 10,000/- as an advance and has asked for some time to pay the remaining amount of Rs 20,000/-. Though Ammulu objected this stating that the way belongs to all and she need not pay for it, but nobody supported her. Suryanarayana often used to harass Ammulu for payment of the remaining amount. Since she failed to pay, he did not allow her to continue the construction and on many occasions he has even threatened the workers and sent them away. The material brought for the construction purpose got wasted and 50 bags of cement was spoiled. Later Ammulu approached the police, the police made a compromise between both of them, but in vain. Suryanarayana dismantled the compound wall of Ammulu and lodged a false complaint on Ammulu. On 2. 6. 2010 around 8am in the morning Ammulu was fetching drinking water and a boy observed that a snake was there among the heap of bricks.
