Indian police kill rape-murder suspects, sparking celebrations

The men, who had been in custody for a week over the latest gruesome case of violence against women to shock India, were shot in the early morning as they tried to escape during the staged re-enactment in Hyderabad, police said.

The woman had phoned her sister saying she was scared of the men before her phone went dead. She said police did not take her seriously when she said her sister was missing. At one demonstration in Delhi, some women wielded swords while in parliament one lawmaker called for the men to be “lynched” and another for rapists to be castrated.

A huge backlog of cases in the highly inefficient Indian criminal justice means that many victims wait years for their attackers to be convicted. Several hundred people flocked to the scene of the men’s deaths on Friday, setting off firecrackers to celebrate and showering police with flower petals.“I am happy the four accused have been killed in an encounter. This incident will set an example. I thank the police and media for their support,” the sister told local television station.

India’s former federal minister for women and child developement, Maneka Gandhi termed the incident as dangerous, saying killings cannot be an alternative to the process of law.
