The sad thing is only one person out of many came to the defence of Lal Dwarika while everyone just stood around looking. Fortunate that the police were in the area to catch the men right after the act.
It was horrible and it is very scary for many reasons. First, the fact that some men would be willing to take away someone's life openly and without reservations and second the attitude of all the witnesses observing that and making no attempt to intervene.
It is extremely scary because if something happens to you on the road, no one will come to your rescue… you are on your own!
