The alleged rape and murder of 26-year-old veterinarian doctor Priyanka Reddy in Hyderabad has caused widespread shock and pain throughout the nation and thousands are taking to the internet to insist the severest punishment to the culprits.

Keerthy Suresh has posted a statement of agony and anger writing "Devastated and Heartbroken to know that Dr Priyanka Reddy was raped and burnt alive! Things are getting fearsome day by day. I am just speechless at the moment not knowing who is to be blamed especially in a city like Hyderabad which I presumed to be a super safe city. When will our country ever become safe for a woman to walk around at any time of the day. All the brutal psychopaths shut be hunt down and punished asap! Heartfelt condolences to her family. May god give them the strength and power to overcome the loss and help find the culprits. I believe in Karma, it works 24*7. (Sic)."
