A 16-year-old minor girl was savagely stabbed to death by her boyfriend in Delhi’s Shahbad Dairy area in a terrible event.
The culprit, named Sahil, 20, stabbed her at least 20 times before crushing her head with a heavy rock while passersby did nothing to help.
According to authorities, Sahil and the deceased, Sakshi, were in a relationship but had a falling out on Sunday. The accused assaulted her while she was on her way to a friend’s son’s birthday party.
The horrifying incident was captured on CCTV.
Despite the heinous nature of the incident, the video shows multiple people passing by without helping the 16-year-old or raising an alarm.

The heartbreaking picture of strangers disregarding the girl’s shouting for help has sparked outrage about society’s callousness.
According to Indian Express, the girl’s body was discovered by a police informant, who contacted the force, which dispatched a PCR car.
“Sahil and the deceased were in a relationship but yesterday they had a quarrel. The deceased was planning to attend her friend’s son’s birthday when the accused intercepted her, stabbed her multiple times & hit her with a stone. Accused is absconding and the search for him is underway. FIR registered u/s 302 IPC at PS Shahbad Dairy,” a police officer told ANI.
Taking note of the incident, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal tweeted, “A minor girl is brutally murdered openly in Delhi. This is very sad and unfortunate. The criminals have become fearless, there is no fear of the police. L-G sir, law and order is your responsibility, do something. The safety of the people of Delhi is of paramount importance.”
Meanwhile, Delhi Commission for Women Chairperson Swati Maliwal told ANI, “A 16-year-old girl was stabbed 40-50 times and then was hit by a stone multiple times after which she died. All this has been captured on CCTV. Several people saw this but did not pay heed. Delhi has become extremely unsafe for women and girls. I appeal to the central govt to call a high-level meeting with Union HM, Delhi LG, DCW chief and Delhi CM.”
