Indians have reacted with outrage after passers-by watched a woman being stabbed more than 20 times on a busy street in the capital, New Delhi, the BBC reported.
CCTV footage showed a man on a motorcycle approach schoolteacher Karuna, 22, who died in the attack. He is seen stabbing her repeatedly as people walk by, before hitting her on the head with a stone and kicking her.
Locals did eventually intervene when he tried to escape. Police say they have charged the suspect with murder.
“She was attacked as she was walking with her cousin at around 9 a.m. It seems that the assailant started liking her when they used to be neighbors earlier, but since he was married, she never paid attention,” senior police official Esha Pandey told the BBC.
Local media had quoted the victim’s brother as saying the assailant had a history of harassing his sister, and the family had filed a police complaint against him.
Earlier deputy commissioner of police, Madhur Verma, told reporters that “the family had lodged a complaint four-five months back and both the families had reached a compromise.”
Images of the murder and the fact that many passers-by did not stop to help the victim have caused outrage.
