Mumbai: Angry friends of Mumbai boys - 24-year-old Keenan Santos and 28-year-old Reuben Fernandes - have asked why so many Mumbaikars stood as mute spectators when the two were knifed to death.
Ruben lost his battle in hospital on Monday, while Keenan died 11 days ago.
Keenan's girlfriend and an eyewitness to the stabbing said her sense of security has shattered.
"People stood there watching...did nothing," said Priyanka Fernandes, Keenan Santos' girlfriend.
At 11 pm on the night of October 20, Keenan Santos, Reuben Fernandes and five of their friends came out for a paan after having dinner in Amboli Restaraunt in suburban Andheri.
They got into a argument with main accused Jeetendra Rana after he allegedly started harrasing Kenan's girlfriend.
Rana retreated only to return with 20 friends and stabbed Keenan and Reuben.
"Why are we allowing all these criminals to roam freely? Why are we not doing anything about it?" asked Keenan's father Valerian Santos.
There is an outpouring of grief and anger on social networking sites. A Facebook page with 20000 fans is trying to build a pressure on the authorities.
The tears of the Fernadez and Santos families have dried and have been replaced by anger. The only question they now have is what will the authorities do so that the sacrifice of their children does not go in vain?
