Woman raped on footpath in Visakhapatnam, people videograph incident

An autorickshaw driver who filmed the rape on his cellphone shared the video with the police.

Visakhapatnam: A woman was raped by a drunk man in public on a busy street near the railway station in Visakhapatnam, but passers-by videographed the crime instead of coming to her help.

A senior police officer said that woman had not eaten for a few days and was very sick when she was lying on the footpath. Shiva was easily able to rape her because she was not in a position to resist.

Police arrested the accused, G. Shiva, 21, a truck driver, on Monday. Though Shiva committed the heinous crime in broad daylight, no one came to aid of the victim. An autorickshaw driver who filmed the rape on his cellphone shared the video with the police. The police said that Shiva was an alcohol and drug addict.
