Indian police shot dead four men who were suspected of raping and killing a 27-year-old veterinarian in Hyderabad.
Bengaluru - Indian police shot dead four men on Friday who were suspected of raping and killing a 27-year-old veterinarian in the southern city of Hyderabad last week, a senior police official told Reuters.
The men had been in police custody and were shot near the scene of the crime, said N Prakash Reddy, a deputy commissioner of police in Shamshabad, near Hyderabad. "In the morning, at around 6-6.30, our persons have come to reconstruct the scene of crime and the accused have tried to snatch their weapons, and there was a cross-fire. In this, all the four accused have died. Two policemen have been injured," Reddy said.
Earlier a local police official had put the time of the deaths at around 3:30 a.m. . There was no immediate explanation for the discrepancy. During the past week, thousands of Indians have protested in several cities following the alleged rape and murder of the woman.
