He wrote: “Whether it is #PriyankaReddy in Hyderabad, #Roja in Tamil Nadu or the law student gangraped in Ranchi, we seem to be losing it as a society. It has been 7 yrs to the gut-wrenching #Nirbhaya case and our moral fabric continues to be in pieces. We need stricter laws. This needs to STOP!”

What those men did to #Priyanka_Reddy is another dark reminder of how unsafe we’ve allowed our society to become by not delivering swift and telling justice in these cases..!
Heart goes out to her family in their hours of unimaginable grief.— Farhan Akhtar (@FarOutAkhtar) November 29, 2019
And what is going to be done about the minor allegedly involved if found guilty..?
For what it’s worth, I feel that if you’re old enough to knowingly commit a crime this brutal, you’re old enough to face real consequences.— Farhan Akhtar (@FarOutAkhtar) November 29, 2019
Many other actors also demanded justice for the victim.
The young veterinarian who had gone missing Wednesday night was found dead and charred at Shadnagar, the outskirts of Hyderabad Thursday morning. The 26-year-old was suspected to have been raped and murdered by two persons who offered to help her punctured two-wheeler get repaired. According to reports, her burnt body was recovered at a distance of 30 km from where her two-wheeler had suffered a flat tyre.

Very disturbing. When will this stop? Educating our girls on self defence & boys on how to treat & protect girls should be taught as part of primary school education. This will only change if we bring up our next generation with consciousness. Sorry Priyanka #RIPPriyankaReddy

The victim left home at 5:30 PM on Wednesday, parked her two-wheeler at Tondupall toll plaza and took a cab to consult a dermatologist at a private hospital at Gachibowli. CCTC footage showed that she returned to the parking area around 9 PM. According to police “Two men approached her, claiming her bike had a flat tyre. They offered to get it repaired.”
The duo took the bike and returned after some time claiming that the nearby tyre repair shop was closed and they would help her by taking it to another shop, police said. She walked for a few metres and waited for the duo at an isolated place where some Lorries were parked.
Police suspect the victim may have been raped before she was murdered.
