hyderabad rape case

The PIL sought an SIT probe into the killing of the four accused arrested for the rape and murder of the 26-year-old veterinarian in Hyderabad.
Sociologists warn against reading the reaction to the encounter killing of the four rape accused men as a 'universal acceptance of extrajudicial killings', but irresponsible media coverage and bloodthirsty public figures are making the situation worse.
The lawyers from the Indian Constitutionalists Council have also asked for an FIR against Telangana DGP Mahender Reddy and Cyberabad Police Commissioner V. C. Sajjanar.
The Cyberabad police commissioner said that the four men died in crossfire.
No details were immediately available about how many police personnel had escorted the four accused.
V.C. Sajjanar, the Cyberabad Police Commissioner, is the same man who led the investigation into the 2008 case where 3 accused were also killed in an encounter.
As the four men accused of raping and murdering a young veterinarian in Hyderabad were killed in a police encounter on Friday, T. Pranitha reflects on the horror of 2008 and the aftermath.
"If a 4-year-old is raped, the rapist should be convicted in 4 months."
Jadavpur MP Mimi Chakraborty said an "immediate and strict" law should be implemented and that "it should send shivers down the spines of the accused".
Aparna Sen's comments come in the light of several law makers demanding that the accused, arrested on charges of raping and murdering a Hyderabad veterinarian, be lynched by a mob.
