The Cyberabad police have arrested four people in connection with suspected rape and murder of a veterinary doctor within 24 hours after her burnt body was found near an underbridge. The police have arrested a lorry driver, cleaner and two others in connection with the murder. It is alleged that the suspects had planned to rape the doctor as they were watching her from the time she parked her bike near the toll plaza. They also punctured her bike tyres to trap her.

The Cyberabad police formed 15 special teams under the supervision of police Commissioner VC Sajjanar, IPS. The investigators said that the post-mortem did not reveal any signs of sexual assault as the 70 percent of the body was burnt. But the evidence such as the innerwear and alcohol bottles found near the spot shows that the victim may have been raped by the miscreants before she was murdered.
