324: Hyderabad Rape & Murder: A Reminder of India’s Abysmal Crime Stats - a podcast by The Quint

Before one rape case gets justice another props up. This time from Hyderabad where a 26-year-old veterinarian Madhuri Reddy (name changed) was gang raped and brutally murdered.

“I’m scared please keep talking to me,” those were her last words to her sister before she went missing on 27 November.

Her body was found charred the next day near an underpass about 50 km from Hyderabad.

Four arrests were made recently on 29 November and police say the rape was elaborately planned to corner Madhuri. The accused burnt her body after committing the crime but the CCTV footage gave them away.

This is only one of the many cases that continues to raise serious concerns about how safe are Indian cities for women but in the meantime politicians are busy spinning a communal angle. Tune in to The Big Story!
