Rape is the fourth most common crime against women in India.


India has been characterized as one of the "countries with the lowest per capita rates of rape". Many rapes go unreported in various countries including India. Let's see what happens in the life of Akhil Reddy, the love interest of a rape victim named Priyanka Reddy.


Dr. Priyanka Reddy had pursued a degree in a veterinary college in Rajendranagar Mandal. She was a resident of Shamshabad and was working as a veterinary assistant surgeon at the state-run hospital at Kollur village.


Akhil hails from a rich family background in Secunderabad. He also studied in the same college of Priyanka. Both of them love each other and have a stronger relationship. In further, both families have agreed their love and the marriage is fixed.


One day, while Priyanka is returning from her hospital to home, she plans to get a gift to her family and Akhil for which, she parks her scooter near Tondupally toll plaza.


At that time, four men saw her two lorry drivers and their assistants, who had been drinking whiskey before allegedly planning the crime. Moved by her beauty, they plan to rape her.


The victim took a taxi to a dermatologist's office in Hyderabad. The suspects allegedly deflated her scooter's tire in her absence. After returning at around 9:15 p.m., Priyanka noticed the flat tire and made a call to her sister.


The four offered to help her, then ambushed her. Three of the suspects pushed her into bushes near the toll gate and turned off her phone. She continued screaming for help, so the men poured whiskey into her mouth in an attempt to silence her.


The four men removed her clothes and took turns sexually assaulting her until she started bleeding and lost consciousness.


When she regained consciousness, they smothered her, wrapped the corpse in a blanket, transported it in their truck 27 km to a location near the Shadnagar interchange on the Hyderabad Outer Ring road, and at approximately 2:30 a.m. burnt it under a bridge using diesel and petrol purchased for the purpose.


Priyanka's death shatters Akhil and her family. Her rape further leads to widespread protests all over India. Several Women activists accuse the Indian government of not having a severe law against rape.


The police arrested the four accused based on the evidence gathered from CCTV cameras, an eyewitness, and the victim's mobile phone. It was reported that they were drunk during the rape and murder.


Priyanka's charred corpse was found under Chatanpally Bridge in Shadnagar located 30 km (19 mi) from the toll booth where she was abducted. Her scooter was found at a distance of 10 km (6.2 mi) from the place where her body was found. The police found her clothes, handbag, footwear, and a liquor bottle near the toll booth. 70% of the body was covered with burns. A locket of Ganesha found on the charred corpse helped her family to identify the victim. The body was handed over to the family after a post mortem.


The executive magistrate sent the four accused into custody for 14 days to Cherlapally Central Jail. On 1 December 2019, Telangana Chief Minister ordered that a fast-track court be formed to try the accused of this crime.


However, the victim's family is not satisfied with the police's investigations(including Akhil Reddy).


While going to the prison roads of Cherlapally Central Jail, DSP Siddharth Reddy(who handled this case) recalls the words told by Priyanka's mother: "Sir. If your daughter has been raped like this, will you live as such?"


"Driver. Change the route to this bridge" said Siddhartha, when the bridge comes, to which he agrees.


The van is taken to the bridge while Siddhartha calls Akhil and asks him to come to the bridge. 


Siddhartha injures his assistants with gunshots and then injures himself after which, he says to Akhil, "Kill these four. Do what Priyanka and Nirbaya failed to do in order to safeguard themselves. Remember. These guys' death must instill fears in the minds of other rapists."


"Sir. Take this as a video" said Akhil to Siddhartha and after which, he brings those four and says, "If anyone tried to rape a girl and be proud, they all would be" and beheads them all severely...


This goes as a viral video all over India and the police officers also get treated. However, they are suspended for taking laws into their hand while Akhil is produced in the court.


However, the public and victim's parents(including the rich family) protests his arrest, demanding his release. Akhil expresses his concern to the court judge about the safe less environment for women and in addition, tells him, "Until the law is severe, crime is also severe going like a Third world War."(when the public prosecutor argues against his act)


Akhil is released without any charges and he is praised by everyone, including Priyanka's family, while he proceeds to walk after seeing the reflection of Priyanka smiling at him.
