Overview
- A 17-year-old, Surya Pratap Chauhan, was stabbed on May 28 in Ghaziabad and later died in hospital, and police say the main accused, Asad, was shot and killed after allegedly opening fire during an arrest attempt.
- Ghaziabad police have arrested several suspects in the Khoda case, including Asad’s father and two associates, while at least one accused remains at large and security stays high in the neighbourhood.
- In northeast Delhi’s New Usmanpur a 17-year-old was stabbed to death and Delhi Police detained three suspects, including two juveniles, as forensic teams review CCTV and other evidence.
- Two other violent incidents in New Usmanpur over the same 24‑hour span involved a 12-year-old wounded by gunfire and the recovery of a 26-year-old man with stab injuries, and all three cases are under active investigation.
- Authorities in Ghaziabad have moved to calm the area by offering compensation and a government job to the victim’s family and by sealing unrecognised madrassas and issuing property notices, actions that have drawn both support for swift policing and criticism over due process and communal targeting.
