In its report, the Supreme Court-appointed investigative team probing the accused in the gang-rape and murder of a Hyderabad veterinarian concluded that the encounter was “manufactured.” The Hyderabad gang-rape and murder suspects were also “deliberately fired upon with the purpose to cause their death,” according to the report.
“In our considered opinion, the accused were deliberately fired upon with the purpose to cause their death and with the knowledge that the gunfire would invariably result in the death of the dead suspect,” the Sirpurkar panel report states.
