This is Chennai-based photographer, Vasanth Paul.
Paul told BuzzFeed that on Friday night, at around 11:30 p.m., he had stopped for a smoke on his way back from a friend’s place, when he heard a woman's voice crying out from an empty plot of land behind him.
"I was about to leave to avoid trouble but decided to check anyway," Paul told BuzzFeed. He heard the woman shouting for help.
"I don't know any Hindi, but I know enough to have understood someone screaming 'Bachao'," he said.
