How anyone could subject another human being to such terrible, unprovoked violence is beyond imagination. My thoughts & prayers are with the victim's family at this time of immense grief. — Rahul Gandhi (@RahulGandhi) November 29, 2019 1/2 Deeply deeply pained to hear of #PriyankaReddy sexual assault and murder. It's easy to call for capital punishment or better surveillance. What's difficult is to teach our men to respect women, to treat them as equals with their own emotions. My prayers are with her family. — Ram Mohan Naidu K (@RamMNK) November 29, 2019 Every day one hears of attack on women outside workplace, on the way back home. Safety of Women needs to be addressed on priority as much as Swatch Bharat.. Mindsets of boys/ men needs to be changed. A campaign is needed for a safe India more than a clean India. — Ratna Prabha (@Ratnaprabha_IAS) November 29, 2019 Reactions from the film fraternity I am extremely sad, angry and then feel helpless. I hope our collective anger results in justice for Priyanka, but also ensures more safety measures for women.#JusticeForPriyankaReddy — Allu Sirish (@AlluSirish) November 29, 2019 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 — Chinmayi Sripaada (@Chinmayi) 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 — Sudheer Babu (@isudheerbabu) November 29, 2019 Hours after Priyanka went missing on Wednesday evening on her way back home from work, she informed her sister that she had a flat tyre and some strangers tried to help her.
