HEARTLESS bystanders have been slammed for posing for selfies with car crash victims as they lay dying on ground and begging for help.
Pictures on social media show a man looking up at the camera while the bodies of three men lie on the road behind him.
Police say the trio, aged between 25 and 30, were riding a motorcycle in Rajasthan, India, when they were hit by a school bus.
A group of onlookers gathered at the scene but not one person attempted to administer first aid to the victims, officers said.
One of the men died instantly but the other two writhed in agony for nearly 30 minutes as the group snapped pictures of their dying moments, according to
Photos and videos of the horrific incident circulated on social media, with one clip showing the injured men lying in pools of blood and begging for help as about a dozen men stand around them.
The victims were later identified as Parmanand, Gemra Ram and Chandra Prakash, who were all labourers at a concrete factory.
Local police have condemned the behaviour of the bystanders saying no attempts were made to help the victims or transport them to hospital.
When emergency services finally did arrive the two men who were still alive, Gemra Ram and Chandra Prakash, were taken to hospital.
Unfortunately both men succumbed to their injuries, with one man dying on the way and the other later in hospital.
Police said that if help had been called sooner, the two could have survived.
Officer Manohar told the newspaper: “They lay unattended for nearly half an hour.
“One died on the spot, another in a hospital and the third on way to Jodhpur from Barmer.
“It was against humanity. Those who were present should have helped them but instead one of them was busy taking a selfie video.”
People on Twitter lashed out at the bystanders and called for them to be held responsible for their cruel actions.
One said: “Such dolts should be caught and put behind bars for few days. Amend the law if need be.
“Helping accident victims should be mandatory for people around.
“Human life had become cheaper than selfie likes.”
Another wrote: “It’s getting common nowadays, if this thing continues soon there will be a need to add new chapter in society education and that would be on ‘HUMANITY’.”
A third said: “The person in the selfie should be punished to set an example.
“I dont understand what is cool about clicking a selfie with a bleeding dying man??!!”
