4 men accused of gang-rape of young Indian doctor in Hyderabad killed by police in escape attempt
All four of the men accused of a grisly rape and murder of a young Indian veterinarian have been shot dead by police, killed around the same area the young vet’s badly burned remains were discovered.
The men had reportedly been taken to an area near the initial crime scene by police in order to reconstruct the events that led up to 26-year-old Priyanka Reddy’s horrific death before attempting an escape. All four were killed in the effort, India Today reports.

The men were arrested in late November after Reddy’s charred corpse was found by a local resident beneath an overpass on the outskirts of the city of Hyderabad. According to police, the group punctured a tire on Reddy’s unattended motorbike and then offered to give her a ride when she returned, ultimately abducting the young woman. It is believed she died of suffocation before the men attempted to incinerate her remains.
