BAREILLY: A 25-year-old man was stabbed to death allegedly by his relative in a busy market, where some people chose to capture the murder on their mobile phones for its shock value instead of trying to save the victim or rush him to hospital in

Kathghar area Friday evening.
They took him to a hospital but doctors declared him dead.
