They saw the woman parking her scooter near a toll plaza, one of them then punctured her scooter’s tire when she was not around while another offered to help her fix it when she came back, telling her all repair shops were closed. They then raped her, killed her and set her on fire.
The details of the gory crime were revealed by the Cyberabad Police. The police have arrested four accused in connection with the case. The accused have been identified as Mohammad Areef, Jollu Shiva, Jollu Naveen, and Chintakunta Chennakeshavulu.
