Hyderabad veterinarian rape-murder accused killed: Nirbhaya’s parents thank Telangana Police

New Delhi: The parents of Nirbhaya, who was gang-raped and murdered in December 2012, have congratulated the Telangana Police after they shot dead four accused in the gang-rape and murder of a veterinarian.

Nirbhaya's father Badrinath Singh said, "Am happy with the encounter because our daughter's rapist is still alive, and we die every day. At least the parents of the Telangana woman won't have to go through this... It would have been worse for the Telangana Police if the accused had escaped. They did a good job."

"I would like to thank the police. I am very happy with the kind of punishment they have got. The police have set an example. The police have done a very good job. There should be no action against the police. Criminals need to be scared of the police. We need this kind of punishment for criminals these days," Nirbhaya's mother Asha Devi
