Indian woman stabbed more than 20 times in broad daylight. Video shows passersby doing nothing

The footage lasted for an agonizing 45 seconds. Captured by CCTV on Tuesday in the streets of Burari, in North Delhi, it began with a man dragging a woman along the sidewalk before throwing her to the pavement. He pulled out a single blade from a pair of scissors and stabbed her with tremendous force. Then he continued to stab her again and again, each time more brutally than before. At one point, he paused to kick her in the head. As the man continued to stab the young woman, who was writhing in pain in clear view of every passerby, several people wandered by. Some ignored the scene entirely, while others glanced over and kept walking. One man in a backpack and another man stuck around, waving their hands helplessly in the air. At one point, a person on a motorbike stopped and seemed to speak to the attacker as he continued stabbing the woman. But by then, the woman had stopped writhing. She was still.


No one took any action to stop the horror, according to the video. Within seconds, everyone wandered off, leaving the woman’s body to lie along the street.

In all, she was stabbed 22 times, according to the Indian Express, though some outlets reported that number to be as high as 30.

The woman’s name was Karuna Kumar, and Indian media outlets report her age as 21 or 22.

The alleged attacker is 34-year-old Aditya Malik, who also goes by Surender Singh, according to the Indian Express. After the attack, the man fled the scene but was finally accosted by several bystanders who held him down until police arrived.

By then it was too late. The woman was rushed to a hospital but was declared dead on arrival.

Violence against women is a major problem in India, and it’s getting worse, by all accounts, with more than 800 women per day harassed, raped or killed.

Police said the man had stalked Karuna for a year before the attack, and she was well aware of it.

“The accused had been troubling the victim for at least one year,” Deputy Police Commissioner Madhur Verma told the Indian Express. “He committed the brazen attack when the victim was heading towards the Novel Reaches School, where she had been working as a teacher for the last four months.”
