The trio had plotted the killing to get a job on compassionate ground for the elder son of the deceased, who was a pump operator in the state-run Singareni Collieries Limited at Godavarikhani in Peddapalli district. After the elder son killed his father, the next day morning the family informed others that he died of a heart attack and prepared for the funeral.

As some people raised doubts over it, he was forced to inform police following which they sent the body for post- mortem and launched an investigation. Police found the man carried out the killing after his mother and younger brother accepted his proposal.

"In order to get the job of his father in Singareni Collieries, the man ended the life of his father," Ramagundam Police Commissioner V Satyanarayana said on Saturday.

A case has been registered against the three under the Indian Penal Code sections 302 (murder), 120-B (conspiracy), 201 (giving false information) and 34 (acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention). The profit-making Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL), a coal mining firm jointly owned by the Telangana and the central governments, offers employment to a dependent of its employee who dies while in service.
