Protests erupt at Shadnagar police station demanding the death penalty to the accused who raped and murdered Veterinary doctor Priyanka Reddy. Angry locals including women and students staged protest in front of the police station demanding that the accused be hanged immediately without an enquiry and trial.

The police sent the accused to Shadnagar police station today to produce them before a court in the town. Some protestors said these criminals had no place in the society and hence they should be killed in an 'encounter'.

On the other hand, the Federation of Telangana Bar Associations condemned the murder of Priyanka Reddy and decided to help the bereaved family. They urged not to help the accused in getting bail.
