Police Accused Of "Delayed Response" In Telangana Rape-Murder | Read

Spontaneous protests erupted across Telangana today over the alleged rape-cum-murder of a 26-year-old veterinarian whose charred body was found near Hyderabad on Thursday night. Women's groups and family members of the victim have sought the death penalty for those involved in the shocking incident and accused the Telangana police of handling the case in an apathetic fashion. Four people -- all truck drivers and cleaners in their twenties -- have been arrested in this connection so far, and they are likely to be put on trial in a fast-track court.
