Brutally Murdered Indian Girl in the Heart of the City... Passersby Only Glanced

Indian Man Kills 16-Year-Old Girlfriend
Victim's Father Says "No One Helped My Daughter"

In India's capital New Delhi, a brutal murder of a teenage girl has sparked outrage after it was revealed that bystanders witnessed the crime but took no action.

According to CNN and other foreign media on the 30th (local time), a man identified as A (20) was arrested on charges of brutally killing a 16-year-old female with 22 stab wounds and using stones in a residential area of New Delhi.

A was in a romantic relationship with the victim, and the two reportedly had an argument a few hours before the incident.

Closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage of the incident shows that at least 10 passersby walked by while A was assaulting the woman. However, only one person attempted to intervene. Other bystanders witnessed the crime scene but merely glanced and passed by. During this time, A stabbed the woman multiple times and struck her head with a stone.

On the 28th (local time), on the streets of New Delhi, India, passersby did not intervene and only watched while a 16-year-old girl was subjected to violence.

The victim's body was found near the crime scene on the night of the 28th. The victim's father expressed his anger, saying, "I am angry that no one helped my daughter," and added, "If the passersby had helped her, she might still be alive." He continued, "I miss my daughter so much. She was a good child," and lamented, "What am I supposed to do now?"

The CCTV footage quickly spread through social media platforms, prompting voices of anger and self-reflection online. New Delhi's administrative head, Arvind Kejriwal, also tweeted, "A minor was brutally murdered in New Delhi. It is very sad and regrettable," and criticized, "The criminal shows no sign of fear. The police are not afraid either."

Meanwhile, crimes against women, including murder and sexual assault, have been increasing annually in India, becoming a serious issue. According to the National Crime Records Bureau of India, crimes against women in 2020 increased by 20% compared to 2013.
