The accused raped the victim in the lorry cabin, according to reports.
Chilling details have emerged in the remand report filed by police in the brutal gang-rape and murder of the 26-year-old veterinary doctor from Shamshabad in Hyderabad. According to reports, the victim was sexually assaulted even after she had died. The victim was found burnt at Chatanpally village, outskirts of Hyderabad on Thursday morning.
According to The New Indian Express, the four arrested accused — Mohammed Areef, Jollu Shiva, Jollu Naveen and Chintakunta Chennakeshavulu — had assaulted the dead victim in the lorry cabin before burning her body at Chatanpally underpass.
Jollu Shiva, who is accused number two, had taken the vehicle of 26-year-old veterinarian’s two-wheeler on the pretext of getting it repaired and returned to the scene to sexually assault her even though she was dead by then.
On Wednesday, after forcibly taking the victim to an abandoned room, the accused forced her to drink soft drinks laced with alcohol, hit her on the head, raped her and then killed her.
“By the time Shiva returned to the spot after filling air in the tyre, she was already dead due to asphyxiation as they forcefully closed her mouth and nose. However, he went ahead and assaulted her body,” a senior officer told The Hindu.
Reportedly, this was disclosed by the prime accused Mohammed Areef during the investigation. The police also found strands of hair, blood stains and a piece of a torn scarf in the lorry cabin.
After committing the crime, the accused took the half-naked body in the lorry, wrapped it in a blanket, doused it with petrol and set it on fire in the underpass of Shadnagar Outer Ring Road.
Meanwhile, a magistrate from Shadnagar sent all four accused who committed the gruesome crime to judicial custody for 14 days on Saturday.
The Mandal Executive Magistrate passed the orders at Shadnagar police station as the accused could not be produced before the fast-track court at Mahabubnagar due to the non-availability of the judge and also because of the agitated crowd outside the police station. A large number of people had gathered outside Shadnagar police station where the accused were housed, demanding justice for the victim and raising slogans so that they be given the death penalty.
