Delhi Police’s theory has come under question in the death case of a 20-year-old girl, who was dragged on the road for about 4 km in the Delhi amid New Year celebrations. Police say that it is a fatal accident, but the family members are persistent on calling it murder.
Meanwhile, the five accused were produced before the Delhi’s Rohini court on Monday. The court has sent them to police remand for three days.
The victim’s mother says that her daughter was wearing many clothes, but when her body was found, she was completely naked. There was not even a single cloth. What kind of accident is this, she asks.
Meanwhile, Delhi Police PRO Suman Alva said that there is news on many media groups about inclusion of sections of rape and murder in the FIR in this case. This is not true, he said, adding that it was the victim’s family demand that these sections should also be included in the investigation. The Medical Board will conduct the autopsy of the body first and further action will be taken only after the report comes.
On December 31, in Delhi’s Kanjhawala area, 5 car-borne youth hit a 20-year-old woman. After the accident, the youth tired to flee in their car.

Woman’s flesh peeled off to bones

PM Modi to chair crucial security meeting after Pahalgam attack
PM Modi will chair crucial security and cabinet meetings tomorrow to assess national preparedness after the Pahalgam terror attack that left 26 dead in Jammu and Kashmir.
In the aftermath of the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam that claimed 26 lives last week, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lead a series of crucial meetings tomorrow to review India’s security preparedness.
The Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS), the nation’s apex body for national security decisions, is scheduled to convene around 11 am. This will be the second high-level review since the tragic incident in Jammu and Kashmir.
Following the CCS meeting, the Cabinet Committee on Political Affairs (CCPA), chaired by the Prime Minister, will also gather to discuss political and strategic issues. Senior leaders, including Defense Minister Rajnath Singh, Home Minister Amit Shah, Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari, Health Minister JP Nadda, and Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, will participate in the deliberations.
Later, the Cabinet’s Economic Affairs Committee will meet, culminating in a full cabinet session.
During the previous CCS meeting, held two days after the attack, the government placed security forces across the country on heightened alert and vowed strict action against those responsible. Measures taken included suspending the Indus Water Treaty with Pakistan, halting SAARC visas, closing the Wagah-Attari border, and downgrading diplomatic ties with Islamabad.
Additionally, Pakistani nationals residing in India were asked to return to their country, with a slight extension given to those holding medical visas until Tuesday. In retaliation, Pakistan announced the suspension of all bilateral agreements with India, including the historic Simla Agreement.
As tensions between the two countries escalate, tomorrow’s meetings are expected to chart the next course of action amid rising security concerns.
