16-year-old girl brutally murdered by 20-year-old man
A murder case in which a 16-year-old girl was brutally murdered by a man in her 20s with whom she was in a relationship in the middle of New Delhi, the capital of India, was controversial because passers-by who witnessed the crime passed by without taking any action.
According to CNN on the 30th (local time) in the United States and WION in India, Indian police arrested a 20-year-old man A for the murder of a 16-year-old girl the day before. It is known that the victim and the suspect had a quarrel just a few hours before the incident on the 28th in a romantic relationship.
Looking at the closed-circuit (CC) TV video of the situation at the time, dozens of passers-by passed by while the man was violently assaulting the woman, but only one man tried to stop him. In the end, this man could not stop Mr. A and left. After that, Mr. A stabbed the victim several times with a weapon.
The girl was eventually found with a cold corpse. The father of the victim said in an interview with the media, “I am angry that no one has helped my daughter,” and “I demand strict punishment for the suspect.”
When a murder case targeting a woman occurred in the middle of the capital, government authorities pointed out the issue of women’s security in India with one voice.
“It is very regrettable that a minor has been murdered in the capital city of Delhi,” said Alvind Kejriwal, New Delhi’s administrative chief, on Twitter.
Delhi Women’s Commissioner Swati Mariwal said, “Some people saw the crime and didn’t care.” “Delhi has become a dangerous place for women and girls,” he said.
Meanwhile, it is not the first time passers-by have passed by a woman who has been assaulted on the sidewalk. In December 2012, in Delhi, India, a 23-year-old college student was gang-raped and killed on a city bus. At the time, a man who was assaulted as a companion of the victim said, “We were injured and bleeding, but no one helped us.”
