People recording incident in mobile phones!

Once again the people who have witnessed the incident have proved that they do not care about the life. The onlookers have not tried to avoid the incident and rescue the person though they were witnessing the incident. They hesitated to take the victim who was in the pool of blood after the attack, to the hospital on time. Though Prabhu was screaming for help, no one has turned out to help him and thus exhibited their inhumanity, it is said.

Instead of helping the deceased, the onlookers were busy in recording video and taking photos in their mobile phones. But a police constable who was moving on the same direction came to his rescue and admitted him to the hospital, police sources said.
