Siblings die by suicide in East Delhi
A 32-year-old man and his 30-year-old sister died by suicide and their bodies were found in their rented apartment in east Delhi's Dilshad Garden on Sunday morning. Police said the siblings likely died a few days back as foul stench was emanating from the flat, which prompted the neighbours to call police. When police reached the flat in pocket D at around 8.30am, they found the flat locked from outside. 'When the door was opened with the help of the landlord, the siblings were found dead. They had been living there on rent since 2021,' deputy commissioner of police (Shahdara) Prashant Gautam said. The deceased hailed from Baghpat in Uttar Pradesh, police said, adding that the brother worked in an IT firm in the Capital while the sister was pursuing MBA from a private college in the city. Investigation revealed that the siblings had been living alone after their mother's death in 2021. Their father, who was in the Indian army, had died in 2011. A senior police officer said, 'We didn't find any suicide note or signs of foul play. It looks like they ended their lives a few days back. Neighbours said the duo hardly interacted with anyone and didn't leave their house much. We also contacted distant family members who said the siblings had no close relatives and kept to themselves.' The landlord told HT, 'I live close by and was called in the morning. I didn't expect this. I was shocked. They (siblings) were very nice and humble. They always gave rent on time and never created any issue. It was only last month when they failed to pay the rent but I didn't push because I was sure they would pay later.' A neighbour said she would try to talk to the siblings but they didn't interact with anyone. 'I even invited them for my brother's wedding, but they didn't come. I knew about their parents and felt bad as they always stayed indoors,' she said. Meanwhile, police said they reached out to relatives who said they tried to indulge with the siblings on multiple occasions and for family functions but the two stopped coming after 2021. 'They shifted to Delhi and focused on their work and studies. We don't know if finances were an issue because they never took anyone's help,' a relative told the police.

Man arrested for sexually exploiting woman for 3 years in Delhi
A 37-year-old businessman was arrested by Delhi Police on Thursday for allegedly blackmailing, harassing and sexually exploiting a 25-year-old woman on social media for over three years, said police on Friday. The woman met the accused on Instagram in 2021 and became friends. The woman alleged that she was coerced into sharing private photos and videos unaware that the accused was married, said police. 'After a few months, she started receiving threats, extortion demands and abusive messages from unknown people who used multiple fake Instagram accounts and email accounts. She suspected the accused and confronted him but he told her that his laptop, where their chats were stored, was with a technician who must have stolen the data,' said a senior police officer. 'The woman faced abuse and harassment for years as the accused created fake accounts, used her private photos, demanded money and extorted ₹1 lakhs from her,' said Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) (Shahdara) Prashant Gautam. 'He then forced her to perform inappropriate acts on Instagram and Google Meet video calls. The woman was scared to approach the police or tell her family as the accused threatened to kidnap and attack her and her family with acid. The accused even issued fake legal threats to the woman saying he will get her named as an accused in a murder case,' said DCP Gautam. Investigators said the woman approached the police on Wednesday after she suspected that the accused was behind the extortion and fake legal threats. 'The accused used nine Instagram accounts to harass the woman. We also found the Gmail account which he used. Upon inquiry, we received responses from Meta and Google about the phone number which belonged to his mother. We also found evidence using technical surveillance,' said DCP Gautam. The accused was arrested and was sent to judicial custody. Investigators said they seized two of his mobile phones which contained private photos of the victim. They are also examining his laptop. .
