In a shocking crime in the national capital, a 16-year-old girl was stabbed 22 times on the middle of a busy street by her jilted lover as people watched on - but nobody helped. This is not the first time that bystanders have watched a crime unfold, but done nothing - and it seems only to be getting worse. On We The People, we ask what is this societal apathy? And why is India afflicted by a particularly terrible case of bystander syndrome?
