Thousands protested outside a police station in Hyderabad after the rape case.
Indian police have shot dead four men suspected of raping and killing a young female vet in Hyderabad last week.
The men were in police detention and were taken back to the scene of the crime in the early hours of Friday.
The suspects were shot when they tried to steal the officers’ guns and escape, police told BBC Telugu.
The 27-year-old victim’s charred remains were discovered last Thursday – and the case sparked outrage and protests over alleged police inaction.
Thousands of people protested at Hyderabad police station, insisting the culprits face the death penalty.
Elsewhere in the country, there were other protests and vigils for the victim, who cannot be named under Indian law.
