#RIPPriyankaReddy: Indians share grief & outrage, exchange safety tips after horrific murder of young woman
An outpouring of heartache and anger has swept social media following the brutal rape and murder of a young Indian veterinary doctor, whose badly-burned remains were abandoned along a roadside.
The grisly killing of Priyanka Reddy, 26, on the outskirts of Hyderabad has prompted a wave of support from netizens, who offered condolences and safety tips, and voiced shock and fury over the monstrous crime.
Outraged and deeply anguished by the murder of #Priyankareddy I am confident that @TelanganaDGP & the police will catch the animals who committed this heinous crime & deliver justice at the earliest. I’ll personally monitor the case too. Anyone in distress, please dial 100 ? ?
A local man came across Reddy’s charred remains on Thursday morning, soon after which the young woman was identified by family members by jewelry she was wearing at the time of her death.
I’m in shock. I find myself unable to physically get words out or form coherent sentences- it feels as though someone’s wielding a wrench on my heart. The reality of women’s safety in the country today has snatched another angel away from us. Rest easy, love. #RIPPriyankaReddy
“Is this why we educate and feed our children so that they become someone’s prey?? If these things are not sorted out immediately, then each of you leaders will have blood on your hands,” one commenter said.
In addition to the heavy-hearted sentiments, Twitter users also put forward words of advice for those traveling alone, much of it aimed at women.
