Hyderabad Encounter: Rishi Kapoor, Anupam Kher, Rangoli Chandel among others praise police for swift action

The Telangana police stunned the nation on Friday morning when they announced that all four men accused in the gang-rape and murder of a young veterinarian in Telangana were shot dead in the early hours. As per reports, the police claim that the accused were trying to escape when they were taken to the investigation spot where the woman's body was found. Telangana veterinarian Dr Priyanka Reddy was gang-raped and burnt to death so as to erase evidence by the four accused last week. 

Mohammed Arif (26), Jollu Shiva (20), Jollu Naveen (20) and Chintakunta Chennakeshavulu (20), were reportedly taken to the spot where Reddy's burnt body was found. According to NDTV, the police took the accused to the spot around 3 am as part of the investigation. As per the report, one of the accused could have possibly signaled others to escape with the police firing in self-defence. The woman's father told news agency ANI, "It has been 10 days to the day my daughter died. I express my gratitude towards the police and the government for this. My daughter's soul must be at peace now."

Twitter was abuzz with many reacting to the news including Bollywood celebrities. From Anupam Kher to Rishi Kapoor, some of them took to the microblogging site to voice their reactions. Take a look at what the celebs have to say:

Perversion of the justice system cannot be the answer to dealing with perverts in society. Fixing the justice system is.
