I'm shocked to hear about the brutal rape & murder of #DrPriyankaReddy in Hyderabad. How anyone could subject another human being to such terrible, unprovoked violence is beyond imagination. My thoughts & prayers are with the victim's family at this time of immense grief.

We as a society have failed to protect our daughters B. #Roja and #Priyankareddy.

The culprits have no place in this civilized society and they must be tried in fast track court for speedy justice.
We demand #JusticeForRoja and #JusticeForPriyankaReddy #पà¥Âu00c2u008dरियà¤Âu00c2u0082à¤Âu00c2u0095ा_रà¥Âu00c2u0087डà¥Âu00c2u008dडà¥Âu00c2u0080
For how long the onus of women's safety will be on women themselves? What about raising men who are respectful, whose needs are not prioritised over those of women, who are sensitive and empathetic? There must be a reboot.#Priyanka_Reddy

Look at the mindset of #Telangana police.They told the father that she might have eloped with someone. @DgpTelangana @TelanganaCMO I expect serious, sever and quick action against the officials who didn't act on the missing complaint. #HyderabadHorrer
