The following account is based on the police report. The victim had parked her [[Scooter (motorcycle)|scooter]] near a toll plaza, and caught the attention of two [[lorry]] drivers and their assistants. They deflated her tire, pretended to help her, and pushed her into nearby bushes, where they raped and smothered her. Then they loaded her corpse onto a lorry and dropped it on the roadside.

The police got evidence from CCTV cameras and from the victim's mobile phone. The accused were arrested and put in [[Cherlapally Central Jail]] for fourteen days. The Telangana Chief Minister ordered a fast-track court to try the accused for their alleged crimes.

The rape and murder caused outrage in several parts of the country. Protests and public demonstration against rape were organised nationwide after the incident, with the public demanding stricter laws against rape and rapists. The [[Minister of Home Affairs (India)|Minister of Home Affairs]] criticised the Telangana Police and stated that the government intended to amend the [[Indian Penal Code]] and [[Code of Criminal Procedure (India)|Code of Criminal Procedure]] to introduce laws for quicker punishment by fast-track courts.

All four accused were killed in by police on 6 December 2019, under a bridge on [[National Highway 44 (India)|Bangalore Hyderabad national highway]], while they were in police [[custody]]. According to the police, the suspects were taken there for a reconstruction of the [[crime scene]]. Two of them allegedly snatched guns and attacked the police. In the ensuing shootout, all four suspects were shot dead.

Thousands of people celebrated the men's deaths. The event has no religious angle: the accused included men of both main religions.
