In Warangal, family members and the mother of the 19- year-old girl staged a protest and raised slogans demanding that the arrested be immediately killed on similar lines of the Telangana case. “The way justice has been done to Disha, similarly justice has to be done to my daugther also.

The accused should also be given similar punishment and be killed,” the victim’s mother told reporters in Warangal. All the four accused in the rape and murder of a young veterinarian were shot dead by police on Friday during a pre-dawn exchange of fire near Hyderabad,

They were arrested on November 29 for allegedly raping and killing the 25-year-old woman by smothering her and later burning her body.
