Boy, 15, stabbed to death by his cousin with a piece of glass amid fight: Police
According to the police, a call was received around midnight from the Lal Bahadur Shashtri Hospital about a boy who had suffered stab wounds from a sharp piece of glass. His sister had rushed her to the hospital.
'The woman who took the deceased to the hospital identified herself as his elder sister. She alleged that the accused, who lived in their neighbourhood, attacked her brother using a piece of sharp glass, resulting in a fatal injury under his left arm,' DCP (East) Abhishek Dhania said.
In the early hours of Sunday, a police patrolling team traced the accused in the area where the incident took place. 'During questioning, he admitted to having attacked the 15-year-old with a piece of glass amid a fight. The patrolling staff promptly informed the local police station and handed him over to the local police,' DCP Dhania said.
What started as a verbal spat escalated into a physical spat with both boys throwing punches at each other. Enraged, the accused allegedly picked up a piece of glass from the ground and stabbed the boy near his left underarm, said officers.
As per the Delhi Police data, 107 cases of murder were reported between January 1 and March 31 in 2025, a slight uptick from 105 in 2024 during the same period, but lower than 2023, when this figure was 115. Attempt to murder cases, however, went down by 17.24 per cent to 168 as compared to 203 in 2024.

Sean ‘Diddy' Combs acquitted of sex trafficking, hailed by inmates as symbol of hope in US justice system
Sean 'Diddy' Combs received a standing ovation from fellow inmates last week after he was acquitted of serious federal charges in the United States, including sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy. The high-profile verdict has become a symbol of resilience for many Black men within the American prison system, according to Combs' defence team. 'They all said: 'We never get to see anyone who beats the government,'' said Combs' lead counsel, Marc Agnifilo, speaking over the weekend. The music mogul, 55, remains in custody following a separate conviction on prostitution-related offences, but the acquittals marked a significant victory in a case that could have seen him imprisoned for life. Combs, who was arrested after federal raids on his Los Angeles and Miami homes in March 2024, faced mounting legal challenges. Agnifilo recalled telling his client early on, 'Maybe it's your fate in life to be the guy who wins… They need to see that someone can win. I think he took that to heart.' The trial, which spanned eight weeks, featured an aggressive and transparent strategy by Combs' legal team. The defence leaned into public perceptions of Combs' turbulent personal life—including admissions of jealousy, drug use, and involvement in consensual non-traditional relationships—but firmly rejected the prosecution's characterisation of these behaviours as criminal. 'You may think to yourself, wow, he is a really bad boyfriend,' said defence attorney Teny Geragos during opening statements. 'But that… is simply not sex trafficking.' Agnifilo described the approach as a 'no-brainer,' aimed at preventing the jury from conflating documented violence with a broader criminal enterprise. The strategy appeared to work: jurors ultimately rejected the most severe charges, and Agnifilo was vindicated in his belief that the government's case was structurally flawed. 'They didn't have a conspiracy,' he said. 'They basically had Combs' personal life and tried to build racketeering around personal assistants.' After days of tense deliberations and initial deadlock on the racketeering charge, jurors returned with a verdict acquitting Combs of both that and the central sex trafficking accusation. Combs reportedly mouthed 'thank you' to the jury, as supporters applauded and some members of his legal team were seen in tears. The victory was hailed by legal analysts, with former prosecutor Mitchell Epner calling it 'a major loss for the prosecution' and praising the 'dream team' of defence lawyers for their cohesive, witness-free narrative. Despite the celebratory atmosphere, Combs remains incarcerated due to his conviction on lesser charges. However, having already served ten months, he may be eligible for release within a few years. According to Agnifilo, Combs plans to re-enter a domestic abuse rehabilitation programme he had started before his arrest, showing a commitment to personal reform. 'He burns hot in all matters,' Agnifilo said. 'I think what he has come to see is that he has these flaws and there's no amount of fame and no amount of fortune' that can hide them. Following the verdict, drama continued outside the courtroom when a man collapsed in violent seizures near the elevators. Trained in emergency medical response, Agnifilo stepped in to assist, stabilising the man alongside his daughter and colleagues until rescue workers arrived. 'It was like I was getting punked by God,' Agnifilo said, reflecting on the intense series of events. As Combs awaits sentencing, his legal team remains hopeful. Whether or not his remaining sentence is reduced, his acquittal on the most severe charges stands as a rare courtroom victory against the U.S. federal government—and one with symbolic weight for many watching from behind bars.

Man Duped of Rs 40 Lakh in Fake Currency Scam in CR Park
New Delhi: A businessman was allegedly duped of Rs 40 lakh in a fake investment scheme in south Delhi's CR Park area, police said on Saturday. The complainant claimed he was promised double the amount—Rs 80 lakh—in return for his investment but was instead handed a suitcase full of counterfeit currency. According to police, the man was introduced to the suspects through an investment proposal. He was invited to a residence in CR Park, where the accused showed him bundles of currency notes inside a suitcase. A few other individuals were also present at that time. Trusting the offer, the businessman transferred Rs 40 lakh and took possession of the suitcase. However, upon opening it later, he discovered the notes were fake. By then, the suspects had fled.
