Nobody helped, cops arrived 30 min later: Wife of Dalit man killed by her Muslim family for honour
India Today
In an exclusive interview, victim Nagaraju’s wife Sultana said no onlooker came to their aid. By the time the police arrived, the attackers had fled and her husband was dead, she said.
Devastated by the brutal murder of her husband B Nagaraju right before her eyes, Syed Ashrin Sultana has called out the voyeurism and apathy of onlookers, who shot photos and videos of the attack but refused to come to the couple’s aid.
Speaking exclusively to Aaj Tak/India Today, Sultana said police arrived at the scene very late and by that time the attackers had long fled and her husband was dead.
“Police came 30 minutes later... My husband was badly beaten for 15 to 20 minutes. Not a single person came to our help. People gathered afterwards, when my husband had already breathed his last,” she said.
Describing the attack, Sultana said she and her husband were crossing the road on their scooty when they were suddenly confronted by two men her brother Syed Mobin Ahmed and his accomplice Mohammed Masood Ahmed.
The assailants beat Nagaraju with an iron rod and stabbed him with a knife, killing him on the spot. After enduring the trauma of being a witness to her own family murdering her husband, the 23-year-old woman said she is doubly stunned that nobody on that busy Hyderabad street -- teeming with motorists and pedestrians -- came to intervene.

“As my brother was leaving, they shoved him a bit but that was it. There was no other help to be had. I was all alone. The bystanders just stood and watched as my husband’s head was bashed in and he died. There are no good people in this society,” Sultana lamented.
