Celebrities including Salman Khan, Shabana Azmi and Farhan Akhtar had earlier expressed anger over the killing of the doctor after being allegedly raped in Hyderabad and called for punishment for the perpetrators.
Salman took to Twitter to vent his outrage over the incident and said that 'Beti Bachao' should not be just a campaign slogan. "... These are the worst kind of shaitans (demons) disguised in the human form! The pain, torture and death of innocent women should now get us together and put an end to such shaitans who live among us, before any other innocent woman and their family go through this extreme agony and loss as this has to be stopped. Let Beti Bachao not be just a campaign. This is the time to let these demons know that we all stand together. May her soul rest in peace," he wrote.
Richa Chadha stressed that the perpetrators should be given the harshest punishment. "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 the family," she posted on the microblogging site.
