New Delhi:
The four accused arrested in connection with the rape-and-murder of a 25-year-old woman veterinarian last month were killed in an alleged encounter with the police Friday morning, police said. “The four accused were killed in an encounter with the police,” Cyberabad Police Commissioner V C Sajjanar said. The four men, all lorry workers, aged between 20 and 24, were arrested on November 29 for allegedly raping and killing the woman by smothering her and later burning her body.
They were in remanded to 7 days’ judicial custody. They were taken to the crime scene Friday morning by the police as part of the investigation, a source said. “They fired upon the police team and we retaliated in self-defence. Two of our men are also injured in the incident,” the source told PTI. The gang rape-and-murder triggered a nation-wide outrage with the public and lawmakers demanding speedy punishment to the perpetrators. The state government has ordered setting up of a fast track court to expedite the trial.
The accused were in police custody for 10 days. On Dec 4 we interrogated them and that is when they confessed that it was at this spot that they had committed the crime. We brought them here to recreate the scene: Commissioner VC Sajjanar
'Mohammed, one the accused fired at us first & the 4 accused got killed in retaliation', says Cyberabad CP VC Sajjanar.
During the encounter, two policemen were injured and are being treated at a local hospital: Cyberabad Police Commissioner VC Sajjanar.
"She was kidnapped and sexually assaulted, and her body was burnt... We have collected a lot of scientific intelligence based on which we apprehended 4 people": Cyberabad Police Commissioner VC Sajjanar.
We have also seized two weapons from the accused persons. The body of accused have been shifted to local govt hospital for PME.
