As the nation reels over the rape and murder of a 27-year-old doctor from Hyderabad, the mother of one of the accused said that if her son is guilty, he must also be burned alive. Speaking to media, the mother of Chennakeshavulu, the fourth accused, said, “If my son committed the crime, burn him too. My son is nothing to me. Wrong is wrong. She (victim’s mother) gave birth to a daughter after nine months. Her daughter becoming the victim of such a crime… what she must be going through.”

She also added that Areef, the main accused, had come to their house on Tuesday to take Chennakeshavulu along with him. Her son was supposed to return on Wednesday but didn’t. She said that Chennakeshavulu had not been working for the past six months as he had a kidney ailment and was availing treatment at the Nizam’s Institute of Medical Sciences Hospital in Hyderabad. “We don’t believe that he committed the crime, but if he did indeed commit it then he should face the same punishment as the other accused,” she said.
