The fear of law and order seems to have waned in many parts of India. People are fearlessly taking law in their hands and committing crimes unabated. In the latest incident, a man in Hyderabad has been butchered in full public view by his own friend. According to police, nobody came forward to help the person who was crying for help.

The incident happened in Hyderabad's Mirchowk on Wednesday night. The deceased has been identified as Shakeer Qureshi, a 30-year-old auto driver.

Police have identified the accused as Abdul Khaja, a butcher by profession. Both the murderer and the victim were known to each other and the killing is said to be a result of an argument.

Police said Khaja had given his auto rickshaw to Qureshi on rent but he gave it to another friend, which angered the former.

When Khaja confronted Qureshi he allegedly abused him, his mother and sister.

Khaja, in a fit of rage overpowered Qureshi to the ground and stabbed him with his knife multiple times in the middle of a busy road even as shocked passersby stood watching.

A video shot by one of the onlookers showed Khaja even taking a break and screaming at the onlookers before he went back to stabbing Qureshi.

According to Hyderabad Police, "Because of immediate response by a constable, accused was arrested within 10 minutes from the spot." The video, however, showed at least two policemen on the spot standing by, and not intervening.
