Meerut: A woman in her early 20s was found bleeding by a canal in Uttar Pradesh last evening, her face and throat slashed with a sharp weapon.
Shockingly, instead of rushing her to hospital, locals filmed her on their mobile phones and even "interviewed" her as they waited for the police to arrive at the spot in Meerut in western UP.
She was taken finally to a hospital by the police and is said to be stable.
Two men, including the woman`s brother, have been arrested based on her statement before a magistrate.
The other man was a relative, the Meerut police have said.
The woman alleged that she was attacked because her family was fiercely against her marrying someone she had been in a relationship with.
The incident coincided with the Uttar Pradesh government`s move to set up a new "Woman and Child Security Organization", a response to a series of heinous crimes against women reported from different parts of the state just this month.
In a press release, the government said the unit would be headed by a police officer of the rank of additional Director General of Police - the second senior most police rank.
