The driver of a van who allegedly hit a pedestrian and left him bleeding to death in the Indian capital, Delhi, has been arrested.

The victim was on his way home from a night shift when he was struck by a small van on Wednesday, reports said.

CCTV footage circulating on the internet shows several cars driving by without anyone helping, while one man stops - to steal the victim's phone.

The incident has sparked a debate about values and compassion in modern India.

The Delhi government has announced that it will launch a scheme to reward those who come forward to help accident victims.

"It was very sad to know that the people didn't come forward and help the accident victim who lay bleeding on the road. The government has made a scheme to reward people, including auto or taxi drivers, for helping accident victims and rushing them to hospital," the Quint website quotes transport minister Satyendar Jain as saying.

Mr.TI pity the fool

This could have happened in Guyana amongst the Indian community quite easily, without any condemnation by their representatives. It is the kind of thing that has been brought to Guyana by the migrants from the sub-continent.

East Indians of Guyana don't identify themselves by caste,more like class wealthy and the working.Their caste was no longer applicable after crossing the kala pani,our fore parents bond together for their survival in their new home land,every batch on the ships consider themselves as relatives although the were strangers,they will address each other as Jahagi and Jahgin.

Here is a refresher for you
