Teen DJ killed in revenge attack, 4 minors detained
New Delhi: A dispute over DJ arrangements turned deadly in northwest Delhi's Mahendra Park on Saturday after a group of boys allegedly stabbed an 18-year-old to death following an argument with one of them the previous day. According to police, information about a stabbing was received at the Mahendra Park police station around 8.15 pm on May 17. "A police team was immediately dispatched to BJRM Hospital, where a youth, identified as Bheem Sen, was admitted with stab injuries by his friend," said a senior police officer. "Upon reaching the hospital, it was found that the victim sustained two stab wounds and was undergoing treatment," he added. Despite medical efforts, Sen—a resident of Village Badhola in northwest Delhi's Jahangirpuri—succumbed to his injuries and was declared dead shortly after admission. A case under Section 103 (murder) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) was registered at Mahendra Park police station, and an investigation was launched. Crime scene and forensic experts were called in to collect evidence. Initial findings revealed that Sen had been approached by one of the accused—believed to be a juvenile—for a DJ booking at a small local event. "There was some argument between them over the DJ arrangements and the booking, following which the juvenile conspired and planned to seek revenge. He, along with three of his friends, allegedly planned and executed the attack," the officer said. On May 17, the group confronted Bheem and stabbed him during a scuffle. All four accused have since been apprehended. "They are being processed as Children in Conflict with Law (CCLs), and their exact age is being verified," the officer added. Police said efforts are underway to recover the weapon used in the crime. Further investigation is ongoing.

Delhi HC seeks replies on PIL over delay in Juvenile Justice Boards cases
During the hearing, the Chief Justice reminded the Delhi Government's lawyer that, under the structure of the JJ Act, it is the State Government's responsibility to ensure that the law is properly implemented. He also pointed out that the setting up and disbanding of JJBs, along with their overall functioning, falls under the State's control. The petition seeks the full and proper enforcement of the JJ Act, especially to protect the rights of children accused of offences, legally known as Children in Conflict with Law (CCLs). The law sets clear timelines for completing inquiries by the JJBs, and the plea argues that these deadlines are often not met. 'The petition had to be filed because these timelines are being badly ignored,' the plea states, adding that this leads to serious injustice and violates children's rights to a fair and timely trial under Article 21 of the Constitution and the JJ Act itself. The petition says such delay defeats the main purpose of the law, which is to ensure quick rehabilitation and reintegration of such children into society. The plea also asks the Court to direct Chief Judicial Magistrates and Chief Metropolitan Magistrates to review the case backlogs in the JJBs every three months, as required by Section 16(1) of the Act, and to submit reports to the High Court. It further urges the Court to instruct JJBs to publicly share case pendency figures every quarter on a website, and to take steps to include the JJBs in the National Judicial Data Grid.

Minor held for murder of youth days after decomposed body found in Ranhola
Over a week after the decomposed body of a 24-year old man was recovered from a plot in West Delhi's Ranhola area, the police have apprehended a juvenile in connection with the case. Police claim that the 17-year-old boy, who allegedly smothered the youth, had a fight with the latter and wanted to take revenge. The police received a call on May 9 about a body found in a plot. Upon reaching the place, they found a decomposed body of a man in the bushes. During preliminary enquiry, it was found that the deceased had been missing since May 5 evening and a missing report had already been lodged at Ranhola police station. The deceased was later identified as Rahul, an e-rickshaw driver. The crime scene was inspected by an FSL team and the body was subsequently sent to the mortuary at DDU Hospital, Delhi, for a post-mortem examination. A case was registered at Ranhola police station and an investigation was taken up, police said, adding that they could not find any eyewitness. A police team conducted meticulous analysis of CCTV footage from the vicinity of the crime scene. Concurrently, a network of local informers was activated. Careful scrutiny of footage, combined with technical analysis and discrete ground-level surveillance led the team to a suspect — a Juvenile in Conflict with Law (JCL). A targeted raid was conducted at an identified location, resulting in the successful apprehension of the suspect. Further interrogation to ascertain the motive behind the murder role of others is in progress. 'The accused claimed that he had a fight with the deceased earlier. He also said that on the day of the incident, the duo were drinking together during which they had an argument and he allegedly murdered him. He has been changing his statements,' said Sachin Sharma, DCP, Outer.
