Woman beaten to death as bystanders watch in India’s Gujarat

A woman was beaten to death at a crowded bus station in India, with CCTV showing bystanders watching.

A brutal murder of a Hindu woman, Kajal Baraiya, took place in broad daylight at the Bhavnagar ST bus depot, causing widespread outrage. The 24-year-old was attacked by her live-in partner, Faisal Khan, also known as Faizan alias Khatki Lakhani. Kajal was with her brother at the bus terminal when Faisal arrived and began assaulting her.

Despite bystanders watching the violent scene unfold, no one came to Kajal's aid, allowing her brother to be chased and dragged back to the bus depot by Faisal. The brutal assault, captured on video, shows Faisal repeatedly slapping, kicking, stomping on Kajal, and even placing his foot on her neck. The lack of intervention by bystanders has raised serious questions about the safety of public spaces and the willingness of people to help in times of crisis.

Faisal has been arrested by the Gujarat Police and is currently in custody as the investigation into Kajal's death and her brother's assault continues.
