An accident victim, reportedly, bled to death after witnesses ignored his cry for help so they could record the incident on their mobile phones.
The victim, later identified as Anwar Ali, 17, was left lying on the road for half an hour, while onlookers took photos, after his bicycle had collided with a bus in the Koppal district in the Indian state of Karnataka.
Emergency workers, who arrived the scene later, said he could have survived the crash if he had received rudimentary first aid earlier.
The incident sparked outrage online in India.
The teenager was riding his bicycle to work when he collided with a state transport bus.
His cousin, Riyaz, is quoted by the Bangalore Mirror as saying: “Anwar could have been saved if he had been brought to the hospital immediately. Instead, people stood there capturing the scene on their phones.”
Bystanders reportedly offered him water, but nobody offered to take him to hospital.
The incident comes after the Karnataka government recently signed the Good Samaritan Act in a bid to reduce the reluctance of people to help in the wake of road accidents.

I think a ban should be placed on this callous act to deter people from taking unnecessary picturestress where urgent help is expected to be rendered. It’s totally wicked and unacceptable.
