Photos: Delhi woman stabbed 22 times by jilted lover in public and nobody came to her rescue

A 21-year old woman was stabbed 22 times by her jilted lover on Tuesday morning in full public view in Burari, north Delhi, India and nobody came to her rescue.

The video footage shows the assailant chasing the woman and stabbing her, and as she fell to the ground, the man continued stabbing her as passers-by walked past while others watched in fear.

One Passer-by tried to intervene but was threatened by the monstrous assailant who pointed the knife he was
holding at him.
When it seemed like she was unconscious, he flipped her to the other side and continued stabbing her. At one point he kicked her in the head after trying to choke her.

The woman identified as Karuna, a teacher, was brought dead at Sushruta Trauma Centre in ISBT.

 "The woman was stabbed publicly in Burari area at 9am by the accused, named Surender Singh, 34, who was known to her. No one came to her rescue," Deputy Commissioner of Police (North) Madhur Verma told reporters.  

He was later chased by the public and beaten up and handed over to police. The assailant had been troubling the woman since a year or so. The family had lodged a complaint four-five months back and both the families had reached a compromise. The suspect's divorce case was ongoing.  

There were 22 stab wounds on the deceased's body," the officer added.
