A 34-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly stabbing a woman to death in Delhi's Burari area.
The victim, a 21-year-old, succumbed to her wounds after being allegedly stabbed over 20 times in broad daylight in Burari. In another shocking instance of Delhi's apathy, CCTV cameras caught onlookers doing nothing to stop the attacker, as the young woman bled to her death.
The accused is a divorcee who had been allegedly harassing the victim for over a year, according to reports.
