Disha's body was found burnt near one of the underpasses near Tondupally, Shamshabad in Hyderabad. Much before entering the city of Hyderabad, there are many of such underpasses which have become a frightening place for many women who travel via that route on a daily basis.

Officials have lighten up all the 165 underpasses beneath ORR and they will be start operating from March 3.

Sharing some details, Arvind Kumar, an IAS Officer and Principal Secretary of Urban Development, Telangana took to his Twitter profile to post the update and wrote that this has been done as per the instructions given by Kalvakuntla Taraka Ramarao.
