The four suspects arrested for allegedly raping collectives then burned the veterinarian Priyanka Reddy, 26, on the outskirts of Hyderabad, India.

"Four people were arrested and confessed to sexually assaulting the victim," said R. Venkatesh, deputy police inspector of Shamshabad town, a suburb of Hyderabad, Telangana state, India, on November 30. "They put her body on a truck, left it under the overpass and watered it on fire."

The incident happened on the evening of November 27, when Priyanka was on her way to the veterinary hospital working. She telephoned home to report that the motorcycle had a flat tire and a truck driver offered to "help".

The family then lost contact with Priyanka and the next morning, her body was discovered under a flyover. A medical examination could not determine whether Priyanka had been raped or not, as her body had been burnt down.

"Our minds must change, oppose violence, not accept the abhorrent way in which women are abused daily," said Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, general secretary of the main opposition party in India. .

Three police officers were suspended on charges of failing to respond promptly when the victim was reported missing. The suspects' mother, meanwhile, called on the law to punish her son.

"You should impose any punishment on them. I have a daughter," the mother of one of the four suspects said.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has not commented on the incident.
