  • Reddy was reported missing while returning home from the Tondupally toll plaza on Wednesday night. She had called her sister at 9:22 pm to tell her that she had a flat tire and some strangers were helping her.

    She confessed to her sister that she felt scared before going incommunicado.

    Her charred body was found 25 km away under a culvert in Chattanpally, Shadnagar.

  • Investigation

    15 police teams were constituted to help crack the case

  • Meanwhile, Cyberabad Police Commissioner VC Sajjanar told Sakshi that Shamshabad DCP N Prakash Reddy formed 15 special teams to probe the case.

    The police looked into CCTV footage near the toll gate and along the Hyderabad-Bengaluru national highway to help crack the case.

    A CCTV footage of the victim shows her talking to an unidentified person.

  • Family's statement

    Police asked if she had an affair, delayed investigation: Mother

  • However, the victim's mother alleged a delay in the police investigation in their missing person's complaint, filed Wednesday night.

    She told Bangalore Mirror, "We approached the police. They repeatedly asked if she had an affair, and later directed us to another police station citing jurisdictional issues."

    She added, "This delayed the response by three hours or more. By then, the tragedy had taken place."

  • Earlier today, the National Commission for Women (NCW) demanded a separate inquiry headed by a member of the commission.

    NCW chairperson Rekha Sharma called for strict action by the police and judiciary against the accused.

    Sharma said, "It's shameful if women cannot get security in a city like Hyderabad where women go in such large numbers to work from other areas of the country."

  • Separately, Telangana Home Minister Mohammed Mahmood Ali resorted to victim-blaming, saying, "We're saddened by the incident. Crime happens, but police is alert and controlling it. Unfortunate that despite being educated she called her sister and not '100' (police emergency number)."
