Teen Killed In Delhi Over Love Affair; 5 Arrested: Cops
New Delhi:
A teenage boy was found dead with his throat slit in Delhi's Nizamuddin area after he tried to persuade one of the accused to allow his sister to continue her relationship with the victim's friend, police said on Thursday.
Md Saad (18), who was previously involved in two criminal cases, was found dead with a deep cut on his throat, DCP (Southeast) Ravi Singh said.
The accused have been identified as Altamash (18), the main assailant and a battery repair worker, Faizan (22), a rickshaw driver and history-sheeter from Kot Mohalla, Dilshad (18), and Abrar (18), who have all been taken into custody, the officer said.
A 17-year-old boy has also been apprehended under the provisions of the Juvenile Justice Act, he added.
"The incident took place on May 12 around 8.30 pm when police received a PCR call saying a body was spotted near a drain in Nizamuddin West. Upon reaching the spot, police found the body with a deep cut on the throat, indicating deliberate killing," the DCP said.
Altamash has been identified as the main assailant who used a sharp weapon to slit the victim's throat. During interrogation, it was revealed that the murder stemmed from a romantic relationship between Azeem, a friend of Saad, and Altamash's sister Zara, the officer said.
Altamash reportedly opposed the relationship even as Saad repeatedly tried to persuade him, Singh said.
"Saad tried to mediate on behalf of Azeem, which Altamash saw as unwarranted interference. Enraged by this, Altamash conspired with his associates to eliminate Saad," the officer said.

After NDTV Report Exposes Constable Exam Scam, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Orders Crackdown
Quick Read Summary is AI generated, newsroom reviewed. Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav condemned police constable recruitment scam, calling it a betrayal. An investigation into biometric fraud has begun, leading to FIRs and arrests. The scheme undermined merit and affected numerous deserving candidates. Bhopal: Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav has broken his silence on the police constable recruitment scam exposed by NDTV, calling it a betrayal of thousands of deserving candidates and ordering immediate, stern action. "In light of the information received about fraud and irregularities in the police constable recruitment 2023 process, I have directed strict action to be taken immediately. Such criminal acts, which cause injustice to deserving candidates, will not be tolerated in Madhya Pradesh," the Chief Minister said in a strongly worded statement. Mr Yadav said the police headquarters has taken note of the matter on its own (suo motu) and launched an investigation into the biometric data and Aadhaar history of all the selected candidates. "Wherever impersonation has been prima facie established, criminal cases have been registered and strict action is being ensured," he said. This announcement comes days after NDTV uncovered a sophisticated network of the 'solver mafia', Aadhaar tampering, and biometric fraud that allowed undeserving candidates to steal the dreams of genuine aspirants. The investigation began when anomalies were spotted during the physical test rounds in Morena district - leading officials to uncover a pattern of multiple Aadhaar updates, changed biometrics, and impersonators appearing in written exams. With over 9.6 lakh applicants for 7,411 constable posts, the stakes were high. But instead of being a test of merit, the recruitment process became a target for organised fraud. Solvers, reportedly charging Rs 4-5 lakh per candidate, cleared the written exams using fake identities, and the original candidates later updated their Aadhaar credentials to reclaim their place. So far, 19 first information reports (FIRs) have been filed, 12 people arrested, and over 100 suspects are under investigation - including Aadhaar operators and candidates. A single solver is alleged to have appeared in six different exams, clearing five. Aadhaar centres in Bhitarwar, Morena, and Sheopur have come under the scanner for enabling mass-scale biometric manipulation. The scam has not only triggered outrage but also crushed the hopes of countless aspirants. Officials say the scam's links may stretch to Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, and Delhi, echoing the Vyapam scandal from a decade ago. The methods have evolved, but the motive remains unchanged: corruption, influence, and stolen opportunities. While the state government's crackdown has begun, the real challenge lies in restoring the sanctity of recruitment. For now, aspirants across the state wait - not just for justice, but for a system they can trust.

Man held for ₹30.47 cr trade benefit fraud using forged documents in Delhi: Police
New Delhi, Delhi Police has arrested a man accused of cheating and forgery to fraudulently obtain trade benefits worth over ₹30.47 crore under the Foreign Trade Policy by submitting forged remittance documents, an official said on Saturday. The accused, identified as Angad Pal Singh alias Angad Singh Chandhok, was arrested on June 2 after being deported from the United States, a police statement said. "He was earlier apprehended by the Central Bureau of Investigation in connection with another fraud case and is currently in judicial custody. "The case was initially registered in January 2017 based on a complaint from a private bank," Deputy Commissioner of Police Vikram K. Porwal said in a statement. The bank had alleged that 467 fake Foreign Inward Remittance Certificates were submitted by 18 account holders - belonging to 17 different firms - at its Naraina branch for processing export documents between September 2013 and October 2015, the officer said. He said that the FIRCs, purportedly issued by one of its branches in Delhi, were used by the accused to obtain Bank Realization Certificates , which were then submitted to the Directorate General of Foreign Trade to fraudulently avail duty credit scrips. "These duty credit scrips were intended as non-cash incentives under the Foreign Trade Policy, issued upon actual receipt of export proceeds. However, in this case, the remittances never materialised," the DCP said. Singh, along with his father Surinder Singh and brother Harsahib Singh, managed five export firms Kumar Trading Company, National Trader, Trident Overseas India, HSC Exim India, and AHC Auto Spares. Together, they allegedly forged FIRCs and obtained scrips, which were later sold in the open market, causing a loss of ₹30.47 crore to the exchequer, the DCP alleged. The accused fled India after the alleged fraud came to light but was eventually deported and taken into custody. He is also named in another EOW case. Three co-accused have already been arrested and charge-sheeted in connection with the case, police said, adding that further investigation is underway to trace the larger conspiracy and identify any collusion with bank officials.
