Police kill suspects in Indian vet's rape and murder
Indian police have shot dead four men suspected of raping and killing a young female vet in Hyderabad last week. The men were in police detention and were taken back to the scene of the crime in the early hours of Friday. Police said they killed them when they tried to escape. The 27-year-old victim's charred remains were discovered last Thursday, leading to outrage and protests over alleged police inaction. Violence against women remains at high levels in India, despite widespread anger at many highly publicised cases. Newsday spoke to Vrinda Grover a feminist and human rights lawyer.
