New Delhi: A 15-year-old girl, who was stabbed in Northeast Delhi’s Seemapuri on Friday, died at Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital on Saturday morning. The accused, a 24-year-old man, died in a gas cylinder explosion at his nearby residence on Friday evening, soon after the incident. The girl was declared dead in the hospital at around 6 am. Outside her house, family members recalled that she had stepped out to buy medicines from a nearby shop when she was attacked. Crying her grandmother repeated: “Just left after saying 5 minutes, haven’t returned yet.”His uncle further told TOI that he was bleeding for more than 20 minutes before help arrived. “The anger and brutality with which she was stabbed is unbelievable. She was stabbed more than a dozen times,” he said. The teenager had recently appeared for the Class 10 board exams and was waiting for her results.“We were all waiting for his results. We were very optimistic about his future,” he said. He said residents now fear for their safety after the murder. Friends and family remembered him as a man who was loved for his kindness. His aunt said, “We don’t know why someone would want to hurt him. We haven’t been told about any clear motive yet.” The girl’s family consists of her grandmother, mother, father and her younger sister. At the man’s residence, about 2 km away, relatives claimed he blew himself up to die by suicide. He described him as an introvert. The person worked as a delivery executive in an e-commerce company. His mother said, “He never mentioned anything about a girl or any mental health problems, including depression or anger. He mostly kept to himself.”

It is believed that the man was home alone when the explosion occurred. His mother was at work. His father had died 11 months ago.Relatives expressed disbelief at the turn of events. His aunt said, “Even if he were alive and went to jail, he would still be alive for his mother. He has no one else.” While both the families denied knowing each other, a senior police officer said, “Both knew each other and were acquaintances. Both families were aware.” However, the exact motive is being investigated. The two reportedly had a telephone conversation before the incident.Another officer said, ‘They knew each other since the man’s aunt was a neighbor near the girl’s house two years ago.’ He confirmed that the man was believed to have carried out the blast himself. While the girl’s uncle alleged that several people, allegedly drunk, were involved in stabbing her multiple times, the officer refuted the claim and said only one person was visible in the CCTV footage at the spot.

Nagpur: A gesture of “goodwill” on the roadside turned into murder. Three engineering students, who had earlier offered to help a drunk driver, allegedly killed him hours later to grab his red Alto car and phone. Police said on Saturday that the trio found Suchit Bhojpure, a 44-year-old spare parts supplier, slipping on the steering wheel of his car on a flyover in Vardhaman Nagar in East Nagpur area late on Thursday night. They offered to park his vehicle safely.Bhojpure, who was heavily intoxicated, allegedly asked the trio – 22-year-old Aryan Shende, 20-year-old Rishabh Kamble and 19-year-old Anuj Ramesh – to drive him. What started as aid turned into a long journey — first a delivery run to Bhiwapur, a city southeast of Nagpur, and then to his home near Baba Trimurti Nagar in Wadi, on the city’s western outskirts.A phone call to his wife changed the course of the night, police said. She first asked them to bring her home, then reacted angrily when told they had reached a locked house, and questioned why they brought her “drunken husband” back. Investigators said this exchange led students to believe the man was “obnoxious.”Greed took over. The trio allegedly decided to kill Bhojapure and keep his car for themselves, planning to change its number plate and colour, police said. They allegedly went to an isolated place near a crematorium on Khadgaon Road in Wadi, dragged him outside and broke his skull with stones. Her body was stripped and thrown into the bushes to hinder identification. Police said the students fled with the car and two expensive mobile phones.Bhojapure’s father Upasrao had filed a missing complaint. The body was found on Friday morning. Crime branch teams led by senior inspector Dnyaneshwar Bhedodkar along with senior officers Vasant Pardeshi, Rahul Maknikar and Abhijeet Patil solved the case within 12 hours. CCTV footage, technical surveillance and call records pointed towards Aryan, who had contacted Bhojapure’s wife. Aryan, who was picked up from a college campus in Nandanvan in East Nagpur, reportedly confessed to his crime. Police said blood stains on the shoes undermined initial denials. The rest were soon arrested.All three have been charged with murder and have been sent to police custody.

New Delhi: Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chaddha He has issued a strong denial of the allegations leveled against him by his party colleagues and hit back with the warning, “Because I am injured, therefore I am dangerous”, a famous dialogue used in the Bollywood film Dhurandhar.“I go to Parliament to create influence, not to create ruckus,” Chadha said. He rejected his party leaders’ allegation that he was afraid to speak against PM Narendra Modi BJP And failing to raise issues that were relevant to his party’s stance, Chadha claimed that the “false” allegations leveled against him were part of a “scripted campaign” and a “coordinated attack”.AAP leaders reacted sharply and said Punjab Chadha was criticized in the Parliament for ignoring the core issues of Punjab. The controversy started when AAP on Thursday removed Chadha from the post of deputy leader of the party in Rajya Sabha. On Friday, Chadha announced through a video message that he would not be intimidated by efforts to silence him, prompting a sharp reaction from his colleagues.“To those who are accusing me today, I want to tell them that every lie will be exposed and every question will be answered,” Chadha said in a video message on Saturday.“To those who are accusing me today, I want to tell them that every lie will be exposed and every question will be answered – because I am injured I am dangerous,” Chadha warned.“A written campaign is being carried out against me since yesterday. Same language, same words and same allegations. This is no coincidence but a coordinated attack,” Chadha said.The MP rejected the allegation as “blatant falsehood” that he does not join opposition walkouts on issues and challenged his accusers to cite even a single such instance, which he said could be verified through CCTV footage of House proceedings.Denying the allegation that he had refused to sign the notice demanding the removal of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, Chadha said no party leader had asked him to sign it “formally or informally”. He said that about 6 or 7 out of 10 AAP MPs did not sign it, then why are they being singled out and why are they being held guilty. Chadha also highlighted that signatures of at least 50 members are required to submit a notice and this number was achieved by the opposition in the Rajya Sabha and hence he wondered why AAP was making so much noise about not signing their notice. On AAP’s charge that he was raising unimportant issues because he was scared, Chadha said, “I want to make it clear that I have not gone to Parliament to shout, create ruckus, break mics or abuse others. I have gone there to raise the concerns of the common man.” He listed the issues raised by him GSTFrom income tax, water issues in Punjab, air quality in Delhi to unemployment and price rise.Meanwhile, hitting out at Chadha, Punjab Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema, AAP Punjab president Aman Arora and AAP Punjab chief spokesperson Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal alleged that despite repeated communications, important matters including GST deficit were not addressed. Terming Chadha’s silence a betrayal of the people and mandate of Punjab, the leaders said his failure to raise the concerns of farmers and the plight of flood victims reflects a complete disconnect from the ground reality.

New Delhi: Most men in their thirties do not see heart disease as a real threat. New research suggests this may be exactly when it starts.A large, long-term study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association shows that by the mid-30s, men’s risk of heart disease begins to increase faster than women’s — years before any warning signs appear. After tracking more than 5,000 adults over three decades, researchers found a clear divergence around age 35, after which the risk rises sharply in men and remains higher through midlife.Heart disease rates in men reached 5% about seven years earlier than women. The difference was even wider for coronary heart disease, where the risk appeared more than a decade earlier, pointing to early damage in the blood vessels. Notably, the difference persisted even after taking into account factors such as blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, obesity and physical activity.Experts say this reflects growing concern in India. Dr Ambuj Roy, professor of cardiology at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, said heart disease can no longer be seen as a middle-age condition. “Risk factors now start appearing as early as the age of 30 and since Indians develop cardiovascular diseases earlier, screening for diabetes, hypertension and abnormal lipids should start early,” he said.Experts also caution that findings based on Western countries may underestimate the risks in the Indian population. Dr. Mohit Gupta of Govind Ballabh Pant Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research said that cardiovascular risk is often detected earlier in South Asian people. While men develop coronary disease early, in women the risk increases rapidly after menopause and often goes undetected. “The main message is not about men versus women, but about missed prevention,” he said, calling for screening and risk awareness to begin in the thirties or earlier.Current screening guidelines generally focus on people age 40 and older.For women, the pattern is different – ​​the risk is lower in early adulthood followed by a sharp increase after menopause, with the difference diminishing over time.

New Delhi: PM Modi on Saturday made his first comments on the government’s move to implement the women’s reservation law from the next Lok Sabha elections, as he asked to put pressure on the opposition to get the women-related bills passed unopposed in Parliament, while dismissing as false the allegation that southern states will lose in delimitation due to their success in controlling population.Addressing an election rally in Thiruvalla, Kerala, he said the budget session of Parliament will be reconvened for three days from April 16 so that the 33% quota for women in the Lok Sabha and assemblies can be implemented by his government from the 2029 Lok Sabha elections. Modi also confirmed the delimitation exercise to increase the number of legislature seats by the same number that will be set aside for women.PM Modi said, “People are spreading lies that where the population is decreasing, seats will be reduced. We want Parliament’s seal of approval on a law that will ensure that Lok Sabha seats are not reduced in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Goa or Telangana.The PM appreciated their good work in population control.The government proposes to increase the number of seats in legislatures by about 50% – the number of Lok Sabha constituencies will be increased to 816 from the current 543 – so that the additional number is allocated exclusively for women, Modi said, but without specifying the exact number.“You should tell the Congress and LDF members that these laws should be passed unopposed… Women should put pressure on all political parties,” she told voters in CPM-led LDF-ruled Kerala. He said, “I also appeal to them that this right of our mothers and sisters has been pending for 40 years. This should not continue in the 2029 elections.”Modi said his government had called Congress for a meeting on the issue and had talked to the parties of the Indian opposition faction. While some opposition parties attended the meeting chaired by Home Minister Amit Shah, Congress, TMC and Left parties stayed away from it.Congress and the Left have called for an all-party meeting, with Parliament unlikely to meet in the middle of the month, a week before assembly elections in Tamil Nadu and West Bengal.Voting is going to be held in Kerala on 9 April BJP It believes its move to implement the women’s quota will help it strengthen its hold among women voters in the three states that have been strongholds of opposition parties.
