A day after all the four accused in the rape and murder of a woman veterinary doctor in Telangana were killed in a police encounter, Shiv Sena on Saturday said that justice had been served. The four rapists were killed in an encounter with the police as they tried to escape while being taken to the crime spot in the wee hours of Friday.

In its mouthpiece Saamana, the party stated that Hyderabad Police chose a "shortcut" in the case of bypassing investigation, charge sheet, hearing, and court dates.
