The four assailants have been identified with the help of CCTV camera footage and have been detained. The prime accused was identified as Mohammed Pasha, a lorry driver.
The reports of the murder surfaced on the morning of November 28, when passers-by found burn marks on the roads. Police investigations revealed that four assailants were responsible for the murder, who took the doctor to a secluded place on the pretext of helping her repair her scooter’s flat tyre. Police suspect that the act was premeditated. The criminals themselves had punctured the doctor’s scooter tire and approached her saying they would help her out.
The victim’s burning body was first found by a milkman culvert at Chattanpally village on NH-44, but he mistook it for a bonfire. The victim was later identified by her family. A locket of Lord Ganesha and a scarf found near the spot helped identify the victim’s mortal remains. The prime accused in the case, Mohammed Pasha, has been arrested.
The grisly crime of Priyanka Reddy has led to outrage across the nation.
Rapists & terrorists have “no” religion! #Priyankareddy #Nirbhaya

We can’t even demand for justice cause no matter what punishment is served to the one’s who did this it’s still not justified.
RIP ? Can she ?
I just feel so angry and helpless.

Utterly shocked to know the gruesome killing of #PriyankaReddy in Hyderabad. It is beyond my imagination to think about what this young girl could have faced. This incident is the culmination of insensitivity and bestiality. My thoughts and prayers are with the bereaved family.

It is an ugly mental disease. No law, no matter how punitive can change the repugnant beastly madness. India’s soul stands scarred.
The only hope is education, sensitisation, deterrence, and family upbringing. #PriyankaReddy

Let this sink in. The men spotted #PriyankaReddy getting off her scooter. Punctured her tyre. Waited for her to get back. Abducted her. Gangraped her. Set her body on fire to destroy evidence. *All because she was a woman* Such monsters deserve more than mere capital punishment.
