In a horrifying incident captured on a security camera, a 16-year-old girl was brutally stabbed 22 times and struck with a stone slab by her alleged boyfriend on a busy street in north Delhi's Rohini. The footage, which has sent shockwaves throughout the country, shows the girl being attacked repeatedly while people passing by look on but do nothing to intervene.

The assailant, identified as Sahil, a 20-year-old AC technician, was caught in Uttar Pradesh's Bulandshahr after a swift police operation. The victim and Sahil reportedly had an altercation the previous evening, which tragically escalated into a murderous attack the following day.

On Sunday evening, Sahil launched a vicious assault on the teenager with a knife in the Shahbad Dairy area. The CCTV footage depicts the horrifying sequence of events, including moments when the knife gets stuck and Sahil forcefully shakes it loose. He then proceeds to grab a stone slab and repeatedly strikes the defenseless girl with it. Shockingly, Sahil momentarily walks away but returns to continue the assault with the stone.

The girl, who was on her way to a friend's son's birthday party, died of her injuries at the scene. Local residents alerted the police, who arrived to find her abandoned, lifeless body.

The visuals of the attack found its way on to social media drawing outrage from all corners.
