In a shocking incident, an woman was stabbed over 22 times by a stalker on a busy road in Delhi as people kept looking on but no one came to her rescue. CCTV footage shows a man stopped his bike, attacked the young woman and kept stabbing her till she stopped moving. At least a dozen people watched the killing. The woman, 21-year-old, has been identified as Karuna who works as a teacher. The killer Surender Singh has been arrested.
Her family had complained to police about five months ago that she was being harassed and stalked by Singh, a 34-year-old neighbour in the middle of a divorce. It is not clear why proper action was not taken even as police said the two families had “reached a compromise”.
CCTV visuals show the attacker stabbing the woman repeatedly in Burari of Delhi. Some glanced and kept walking as others watched in horror. Two persons were seen moving towards the woman but backed off. This is the second instance in 24 hours of a woman being killed in full public view in Delhi, with no help.
On Monday, a 32-year-old married woman was stabbed to death allegedly by her lover, who then committed suicide in southwest Delhi’s Inderpuri area. Neighbours allegedly didn’t help her in that case too.
