SHADNAGAR: A top Indian rights group launched an investigation on Saturday (Dec 7) into a police shooting of four rape-murder suspects, after accusations they were gunned down to assuage public anger.

News of the investigation came as the country reeled after the death on Friday of a woman who had been set on fire on her way to a sexual assault hearing.

On Saturday morning, police were still at the scene outside Hyderabad in southern India as motorists stopped their cars on the busy highway to look and take photos with their phones. Others have expressed horror however, with one Supreme Court lawyer calling it"murder in cold blood" and Amnesty International saying the"alleged extrajudicial execution" should be investigated.

"If, the arrested persons were actually guilty, they were to be punished as per law pursuant to the directions of the competent court," a statement said. After the men were arrested last Friday, hundreds of people laid siege to the police station where they were being held. One lawmaker called in parliament for the suspects to be"lynched".

The victim, who suffered 90% burns, had told police that she was attacked by two men who had raped her and three others on her way to a court hearing.
