At 5:30 am in New Delhi's Subhash Nagar yesterday, 40-year-old Matibool was walking home after a night shift, when a speeding tempo hit him.

Matibool was thrown in the air, he hit a lamp post, lost consciousness and lay bleeding.

CCTV footage shows the driver of the tempo stopped, looked up and down the road, checked his phone and inspected his tempo for damage and drove off after a last look at his victim to make sure the man was still alive.

Matibool bled to death.

No one tried to help even though there were many passersby.

In fact, a cycle rickshaw driver is seen on CCTV footage picking up Matibool's mobile phone and walking off.

Finally, a team of policemen arrived around 7 am and took him to hospital. But doctors said that Matibool had already died of excessive bleeding.

CCTV images of the incident chronicle the staggering lack of compassion often ascribed to New Delhi, but true of much of India.

Matibool is a father of two.
