Many Indians took to social media on Friday to applaud the police killings of four men accused in the gang rape and murder of a 27-year-old veterinarian in the southern city of Hyderabad. Police said the men tried to snatch the weapons of accompanying policemen when they were taken to the scene of the crime to reconstruct events. All four of the accused were killed and two policemen were injured. About 90 cases of rape are reported in India each day and many more go unreported because of the social stigma attached to victims. Some victims and their families have ended up being attacked for pursuing cases against powerful men, often local politicians.
