The video shows Raju lying on the road shouting for help as people stood around looking at him bleeding.
“The family of the deceased alleged that the onlookers let their son bleed to death. They said no one rushed him to the hospital. Instead they were recording a video. They waited for the PCR van to reach and rush him to the hospital,” a police officer said.
According to police, the incident was reported around 6.30 pm on Tuesday.
The boy, Raju Pandey, had reportedly been stabbed by two assailants and instead of taking him to the hospital directly, the police wasted precious time in recording his statement.
By the time the boy was rushed to AIIMS trauma center, he had died.
Doctors told police that Raju died due to excessive bleeding.
“A case of murder has been registered in Ambedkar Nagar police station and Ashu has been arrested,” DCP Southeast P Karunakaran said.
