Earlier on Wednesday, the 26-year-old veterinarian, who was on her way to home was brutally raped and charred to death by two truck drivers and two cleaners near a toll plaza on Outer Ring Road (ORR) at Shamshabad on the outskirts of Hyderabad.  They later shifted the body to a place near Shadnagar town and set it afire. The charred body of the victim was found the next day.

On Friday night, Cyberabad police said that the four accused, who allegedly trapped the victim by deflating a tyre of a scooty parked near the toll plaza have been taken into the custody.

Family members of the veterinarian alleged that they had to go from one police station to another as the cops were arguing over jurisdiction. Following this, four cops were suspended yesterday.
