Kehte hain Dilli dilwaalon ki (Delhi belongs to the large-hearted), but nobody here helps anyone,” sobs Sandeep Kumar, a day after his brother, Amarjeet, 28, was dragged out of a bus and stabbed to death on a busy road near Delhi zoo by a gang of pickpockets.

Speaking to TOI on Tuesday, the man, who hails from UP’s Ambedkar Nagar district, recounts the 30 minutes of horror that changed the lives of the Kumars — from the moment Amarjeet raised an alarm when he saw a youth lifting Sandeep’s phone in the bus to a frantic chase down an alley ending with Amarjeet’s wife Manju pinning down two of the pickpockets and handing them over to police.
