Indian protesters demand justice for vet's murder, suspected rape

SHADNAGAR, India - Thousands of protesters gathered outside a police station on the outskirts of the Indian city of Hyderabad on Saturday demanding four men accused of raping and murdering a 27-year-old woman be handed over to them.

Police said medical evidence would be hard to obtain given the state of the body but that they were working on the assumption the victim had been raped.The victim’s mother demanded that the culprits be burnt alive, the Times of India newspaper quoted her as saying. “It has been 7 yrs to the gut-wrenching #Nirbhaya case & our moral fabric continues to be in pieces,” Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar tweeted. “We need stricter laws. This needs to STOP!”
