Shocker from Vizag: Woman raped in broad daylight on footpath, onlookers record video
Visakhapatnam (TN): 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 Andhra Pradesh’s Visakhapatnam.
Shockingly, the horrific crime was captured on camera, as onlookers decided to take a video of the incident, instead of helping the victim.
Reportedly, the accused, identified as 23-year-old G Shiva, has been arrested.
According to reports, the incident 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.
