The gangrape and murder of a female veterinarian in Hyderabad on 27 November 2019 sent chills across the nation and raised tough questions regarding the safety and security of women in India. The victim was kidnapped, raped and murdered and her body set on fire by four men while she was returning from work. She succumbed to her injuries. The rape accused - whose names are Mohammad Ali alias Mohammad Arif aka Mohammad Pasha, Jollu Shiva, Jollu Naveen Kumar and Chintakunta Chenna Keshavulu were caught soon after by the police, and citizens demanded a speedy trial of the accused and justice for the victim.
So the wee hours of 6 December served like medicine to the wounds of many women in this country, as news came in that the four rape accused were shot dead in an encounter by the Telangana Police at 3:30 am.
The heinous incident had led to a huge outrage among the people. As soon as the news of the encounter broke, netizens didn't shy away from expressing their emotions, rather frustration, anger and hatred. Let's see some Twitter reactions, including those of celebrities.

According to India's National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), every day about 100 sexual assaults are reported to police in India. While the 2017 data points out that there were 32,000 rape cases reported across the nation but experts mention that due to the taboos attached to rape victims and the shame that is attached to the sexual assault, many women step back before reporting such crimes.
While the police encounter itself has become controversial, we believe with this action taken by the authorities, there is still hope for a better tomorrow for women living in this country.
