Delhi: Mob stabs two students in Vijay Nagar, three arrested
The victims, aged 26 and 28 years and hailing from Manipur, were reportedly preparing for competitive examinations and had gone to a local shop around 4am to buy a water can and groceries.
According to the FIR, the altercation began after a group of three to four young men — aged between 18 and 22 — arrived on two motorcycles without helmets and allegedly tried to push past the students at the shop counter.
'They used abusive language and tried to shove us aside. When we objected, one of them stabbed me in the abdomen and another attacked my friend on his left buttock with a knife,' one of the victims stated in the FIR. 'They fled on motorcycles after the assault. The attack seemed deliberate and carried out with the intent to kill,' the FIR added.
Deputy commissioner of police (Northwest) Bhisham Singh said the case was treated as sensitive, and special teams were deployed to track down the suspects.
'CCTV footage from nearby shops was analysed, and call detail records (CDRs) of suspected individuals were examined. Based on local intelligence and CDR analysis, a coordinated raid was conducted, leading to the arrest of three accused,' Singh said.
The arrested have been identified as Krishna Babu, Krishna Kashyap, and a minor. The fourth suspect is still on the run, and efforts are on to nab him. During interrogation, police said the trio confessed to the assault, claiming it began after one of the students allegedly punched their friend. The knife used in the attack has also been recovered, officials said.
While both victims are from Manipur, investigators have said there is no indication of it being a hate crime so far. 'It appears to be a dispute that escalated violently rather than a hate crime,' a police officer said, adding that a detailed investigation is underway to determine the exact sequence of events.

Men place bone in veg biryani to avoid paying bill at UP eatery
A group of young men were caught on camera trying to con a restaurant in Uttar Pradesh's Gorakhpur into avoiding paying the bill by placing a meat bone in a plate of vegetable biryani. The incident occurred at the Biryani Bay restaurant at Shastri Chowk in the Cantonment Police Station area on the night of July 31.(X/@gharkekalesh) An official said that while police have intervened in the matter, no formal proceedings have been initiated since there has been no complaint. The incident occurred at the Biryani Bay restaurant at Shastri Chowk in the Cantonment Police Station area on the night of July 31. A group of eight to ten men went to the restaurant and ordered both vegetarian and non-vegetarian biryani. Shortly after their food was served, one of the men screamed that his veg biryani had a bone in it. ALSO READ | 'You're a Hindu. Aren't you ashamed?': Bajrang Dal member stops Ghaziabad delivery boy over meat order The restaurant immediately called the police, who calmed the customers down and called to examine the CCTV footage. What CCTV shows? The CCTV footage shows one of the men handing another a bone, who then secretively places it on the veg biryani plate. Restaurant owner Ravikar Singh also corroborated that the youths discreetly placed the bone into the veg biryani. Another video shows the men claiming to the restaurant staff that they found bones in their vegetarian food. "Veg mei haddi nikli hai. Koi safai nahi hai yaha pe," (We found bone in a veg dish, there is no cleanliness here) one of the men is heard saying in the video. They claim that there is no 'proper hygiene' at the eatery. However, Singh insisted that there is no chance of "contamination" as meat is cooked separately in his kitchen. "They clearly wanted to avoid paying the bill, which was around ₹5,000-6,000. Their actions were completely deliberate," Singh told the police. Cantonment Circle Officer Yogendra Singh said that "legal action is underway" in the case.

'He hit me, punched me', says SpiceJet staffer thrashed at Srinagar airport
Mudasir Ahmad Khan, the SpiceJet employee who has been bedridden due to alleged assault by an army officer at Srinagar airport last month, said he was targeted for doing his work honestly. He demanded stern action against the assailant to prevent recurrence of such incidents. Four employees of the airline were assaulted by Lieutenant Colonel R K Singh on July 26 after Khan had asked the army officer at pay charges for carrying extra cabin baggage according to the norms set by SpiceJet. "I saw this man was carrying two cabin bags and asked him to stand aside so that they could be weighed. Against an allowance of 7 kilogram per piece of cabin baggage, this man was carrying two which weighed 16 kilograms," Khan told PTI videos from his home in Srinagar where he has been bedridden since the day of the incident. Khan said he asked the army officer to pay for extra baggage but he became irate and misbehaved with him and other colleagues before turning violent. "He hit me with the bag, he punched me and slapped me till blood started oozing from my mouth and nose. Then I fell unconscious. Later I saw in the videos that he was not allowing anyone to even pick me up. He even assaulted four employees," the injured man said. Khan said he only stopped Lieutenant Colonel Singh as a part of his duty. "Had I been wrong, then it was a different story. The airline ticket has clearly mentioned the baggage allowance for each passenger, however, this gentleman claimed that he does not know about it. I was only doing my job honestly," he added. He demanded that the erring army officer be punished for his violent acts and said "What happened with me can happen to someone else as well. So he should definitely be punished for it." Police have registered a case against Singh for allegedly assaulting and injuring four employees of a private airline at the Srinagar International Airport last week, causing a spinal fracture to Khan. A case has been registered against Singh under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita Section 115 (voluntarily causing hurt) for assaulting employees of SpiceJet airline following a disagreement over payment of extra baggage charges on July 26. Lt Col Singh has filed a counter-complaint with the police alleging assault, following which an FIR has also been registered against the airline staffers. The officer, who is currently posted at the Army's High Altitude Warfare School (HAWS) at Gulmarg in Baramulla district, was to board a SpiceJet flight to Delhi when the incident took place. When asked about the incident, army officials said that full cooperation is being extended to the authorities. The army is committed to uphold the highest standards of discipline and conduct and takes all allegations seriously, public relations officer (defence), Srinagar, said in a statement. The incident was caught on camera, and a video of the incident has surfaced on multiple social media platforms purportedly showing the enraged Army officer hitting several airline employees with an iron stand. The airline issued a detailed statement about the incident, saying one of the four victims of the assault had suffered spinal injuries. They also said it has initiated the process to place the passenger on the no-fly list in line with civil aviation regulations. "A passenger grievously assaulted four SpiceJet employees at the boarding gate of flight SG-386 from Srinagar to Delhi on July 26, 2025. Our staff members suffered a spinal fracture and serious jaw injuries after being attacked with punches, repeated kicks and a queue stand," the SpiceJet said in a statement. According to the airline, an employee fell unconscious on the floor, but the passenger continued kicking and hitting him. "Another staff member suffered bleeding from the nose and mouth after receiving a forceful kick to the jaw while bending down to assist the colleague who had fainted." The airline said the passenger, a senior army officer, was carrying two pieces of cabin baggage weighing a total of 16 kilograms, more than double the permitted limit of 7 kilograms. "When politely informed of the excess baggage and asked to pay the applicable charges, the passenger refused and forcefully entered the aerobridge without completing the boarding process - a clear violation of aviation security protocols. He was escorted back to the gate by a CISF official," the statement further said. The airline further informed that the passenger grew increasingly aggressive at the gate. It could not be immediately ascertained whether the passenger was detained at the airport after the incident. SpiceJet said it has also written to the civil aviation ministry, apprising them about the "murderous assault" on its staff and has requested appropriate action against the passenger. The airline also said that it has secured the CCTV footage of the incident from the airport authorities and handed it over to the police. Strongly condemning any act of violence against its employees, SpiceJet said it will pursue this matter to its fullest legal and regulatory conclusion. Army officials said the issue has come to the notice of the Indian Army and "we are awaiting the conclusion of the pending investigation".
