The day began with the unexpected encounter of four accused in the gangrape and murder of the Hyderabad veterinary doctor, and the Cyberabad police reported that the accused Areef, Shiva, Naveen, and Chennakeshavulu were shot dead as they attacked and tried to escape during the reconstruction of the crime scene.

This incident is similar to another encounter in Warangal, which happened before eleven years and in a striking similarity the cop heading this Hyderabad doctor case, Cyberabad police chief VC Sajjanar, was the Superintendent of Police in Warangal during that encounter as well.

Andhra Pradesh police had shot dead three men in December 2008, and these men were accused of throwing acid on two women Swapnika and Pranitha as Swapnika rejected the proposal of one of the accused named Srinivas. Andhra police killed Srinivas Rao, the main accused in the case, and Harikrishna and Sanjay who were also involved. Just as it was said in the Hyderabad encounter that the criminals tried to escape, it was said in 2008 also that the arrested criminals tried to attack with crude bombs, and the cops had to retaliate and kill them. Sajjanar had turned a hero after the incident, and the families of the girls who were killed, as well as their college friends, celebrated the encounter by distributing sweets.
