Indian police on Friday shot dead four detained gang-rape and murder suspects as they were re-enacting their alleged crime, prompting celebrations but also accusations of extrajudicial killings.
The four were accused of gang-raping and murdering a 27-year-old veterinary doctor before setting fire to her body with petrol underneath an isolated bridge late on November 27. Shortly after their arrest hundreds of protesters also tried to storm the Hyderabad police station where the four accused were held.
A huge backlog of cases in the highly inefficient Indian criminal justice means that many victims wait years for their attackers to be convicted. Women in technology hub Hyderabad, home to Google, Apple and Microsoft, distributed sweets and tied Hindu ritual threads on the wrists of policemen to thank them."Great work #hyderabadpolice ..we salute u," top badminton player Saina Nehwal tweeted.
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.
