‘I’m so scared!’ India shocked by brutal rape & murder of young doctor, tear up over her last call with sister
The charred remains of a missing Indian veterinary doctor have been discovered by police, discarded beneath an overpass. The young woman was abducted and raped on her way to work in yet another attack that shocked Indian society.
The 26-year-old doctor, Priyanka Reddy, suffered a flat on her motorbike on her way to an animal hospital on Wednesday and was stranded in the town of Shamshabad, where a group of men offered her “help.” Reddy’s sister Bhavya said she had last talked her sometime in the evening – unaware they would never speak again.

During their final phone call, Bhavya said Priyanka indicated she was frightened being stranded in an unfamiliar area, where she said there were several men and trucks parked nearby. Bhavya suggested her sister abandon the crippled bike and walk to the nearest toll gate to wait for her, but it was not to be.
Reddy’s badly-burned corpse was discovered Thursday morning by locals. The woman’s family could only identify her by a locket she was wearing.
