Pained to know details about how a doctor in the city, Dr. Priyanka Reddy’s body was found charred beyond recognition at Shadnagar on the outskirts.

She had called up her family last night and told them that her bike’s tire was punctured and that some locals had offered to help. They took her bike and left assuring her that they would repair it and return. That was when she called and informed her sister that this happened and that she was worried/scared. Her sister asked her to move to a more crowded area to be safe. Later, when her family tried contacting her, her phone was switched off. The worried family went to the location mentioned and looked out for her, but didn’t find her. They immediately filed a complaint with the police. This morning, a body charred beyond recognition was found in Shadnagar. The family identified the body as Dr. Priyanka’s with the help of a Ganesh locket that she was wearing. The body was sent to post mortem and investigation is underway. The Hyderabad police have formed 10 special teams to nab the guilty. The clues team and the dog squad have lost been pressed into service. CCTV footage has been collected and they are looking into it for more clues. Hyderabad was always considered a safe city. Incidents like these leave us disturbed and anxious. Each time a child stepped out of home, you never had to be worried in Hyderabad. This may be a one-off incident, but we surely need to do more in terms of lighting, patrolling
