Madhya Pradesh police said those who refused to help the rape survivor in Ujjain, seen begging door-to-door in viral CCTV footage, could be charged under child sex abuse laws for not reporting the crime. An auto driver who knowingly didn't inform police has been identified. More people visible in footage ignoring the bleeding girl's pleas may face action if deliberate lapse is confirmed. However, police claimed some had tried helping with money and clothes. But none took her in or called the cops until a priest sheltered her and called the police. The horrifying case has spotlighted appalling public apathy towards a desperate child victim.
