What those men did to #Priyanka_Reddy is another dark reminder of how unsafe we’ve allowed our society to become by not delivering swift and telling justice in these cases..!
Heart goes out to her family in their hours of unimaginable grief.— Farhan Akhtar (@FarOutAkhtar) November 29, 2019
And what is going to be done about the minor allegedly involved if found guilty..?
For what it’s worth, I feel that if you’re old enough to knowingly commit a crime this brutal, you’re old enough to face real consequences.— Farhan Akhtar (@FarOutAkhtar) November 29, 2019
Her only crime was she trusted these men who promised to fix her scooty.Perpetrators are given the harshest punishment, they don’t belong in society. They won her trust and then brutalised her. Treated her like a thing, not a human being.
Condolences to family#priyanakareddy— TheRichaChadha (@RichaChadha) November 29, 2019

I am disturbed .... to a level that I cannot share anything from the incident .... I request all my sisters out there to take help of the Police, live location apps and emergency calling options when it requires the most. My prayers for her innocent soul. #RIPPriyankaReddy pic.twitter.com/246ZxCQYSr

The outcome of Priyanka Reddy burned in Hyderabad yesterday. Girls are asked to stay home.
Girls need to stop classes, hobbies, whatever they may do after work just so that they don’t get raped.
If this is not screwed up, I dont know what is. pic.twitter.com/287y7T4yWZ

This has saddened me to my core. Human being inhumane. This needs to stop. This is what we know of, imagine how many cases we don’t know about. Women or men, every individual needs to be treated with basic respect. These men deserved to be punished. #JusticeForPriyankaReddy

No reaction can explain the pain I felt hearing what happened to Priyanka. Laws and police are there to control crimes but not animals. Creating enough awareness regarding punishments is much needed. #RIPPriyankaReddy
