Senior Congress leader and advocate Kapil Sibal on Saturday (7 December) termed the encounter of four accused in the rape and murder case of Hyderabad woman veterinarian as ‘bloodlust versus due process’, reports ANI.
“If it is found that it is a fake encounter then it is a very serious matter. This is bloodlust versus due process. Law and due process cannot be sidelined," Sibal was quoted in the report as saying.
The Congress leader said that if police will take law in their hand then it is “wrong and sad”
"This encounter has proved that our law and order situation is not at an upscale standard," Sibal said.
"In this country, we never believed in Talibani kind of justice. This kind of system proves that criminal justice has failed," he added.
Earlier on Friday (6 December), the four rapists were killed by the Telangana police in an encounter after they tried to escape while being taken to the crime spot in the early hours of the day.
The veterinary doctor was brutally gang-raped and killed by the four men before they burnt her body in the Shamshabad area on 27 November.
