The GuardianThe gang rape of a veterinary doctor whose body was set on fire and dumped under a bridge has sent shockwaves through India, with hundreds of women taking to the streets in protest. The charred body of the 26-year-old woman was found on the outskirts of the southern city of Hyderabad on Wednesday night. The woman’s scooter tires had allegedly been deflated by four men, who then sat waiting in a truck nearby and approached her to offer help. “The accused had consumed alcohol and noticed the veterinary doctor parking her bike at the toll plaza around 6pm,” he said in a statement. “Then, Areef, Naveen and Chennakeshavulu forcibly took the victim into an abandoned room nearby, where she was raped,” Sajjanar said.
