The Friday morning encounter of all the four accused in the brutal rape-and-murder case of a 25-year-old woman veterinarian last month in Hyderabad triggered a nationwide debate on justice delivery. Bollywood and Tollywood celebrities like Vivek Oberoi, Nagarjuna Akkineni, Ravi Teja, Sonu Sood and many more, took to their Twitter handles to react on the encounter killings. Read the reactions below. —
Taapsee Pannu at an event spoke about the encounter killings by Telangana Police and said, "There is a problem, let’s start with that. Only way to address it is to look at how we bring up our sons. It should not be fear that makes them not do something bad, but they should know that this shouldn’t be done because it is bad. That’s how I will raise my son. We can keep accusing someone, but raising our sons well is the only thing we have in our hands. I was shocked when I read the news of the cop encounter first. Never have we heard that the police have taken such a drastic step."
