NEW DELHI: In a spine-chilling incident, a woman was allegedly raped by a drunk man in broad daylight on a footpath along a busy road in Visakhapatnam city of India’s Andhra Pradesh state.
The horrific crime was captured on camera, as onlookers decided to take a video of the incident, instead of helping the victim.
According to reports, the accused, identified as 23-year-old G Shiva, a truck driver, has been arrested.
The incident is said to have occurred on Sunday at 2 pm near a railway station in Vizag, where the woman was sitting behind a tree on the footpath.
The accused, apparently heavily drunk at the time, approached her and allegedly forced himself upon her.
The entire incident was recorded by an auto-driver present at the spot. However, even as several people walked past the road, not a single person made an attempt to stop the man from committing the crime of raping the hapless woman.
The police later arrested the suspect after the police control room received a call regarding the incident. G Shiva has been booked under section 376 of the Indian Penal Code that deals with rape.
