He then strangled her to death and bludgeoned the body in a bid to disfigure it. The body, hidden under stones in a forested area on Faridabad-Gurgaon road, was recovered in the evening.The suspect, Basu Kumar Singh (25), is a married man with two children and has a criminal history, including two murder attempts. What began as a 5am call to the cops about the kidnapping rapidly escalated into a fast-paced manhunt, culminating in the arrest of the accused, who allegedly confessed to the ghastly crime. He was produced in court and was granted police custody. Victim Sleeping On City Footpath Forced Into CabThe crime took a dramatic turn on Tuesday evening when the accused was shot and wounded by cops after he allegedly snatched a weapon in an escape attempt during a crime scene reconstruction.”Her father told us that the family was sleeping on a footpath when his elder daughter was taken away in a car, possibly a cab,” a police officer said, adding that a kidnapping case was registered.Deputy commissioner of police (south) Anant Mittal constituted a team to crack the case, and the accused was apprehended within seven hours of the incident.After analysing CCTV footage and contacting cab aggregators, police identified the vehicle and traced the accused. He was later apprehended from west Delhi’s Vikaspuri around noon, after completing a ride with a passenger.During interrogation, Singh initially denied he had committed the crime. Confronted with evidence, he admitted to taking the girl in his cab but claimed that he had later dropped her on Mandi Road.As the interrogation continued, he finally confessed to killing the minor after raping her at an isolated place and then dumping the body. Cops recovered the body that had injuries on face and head, around 4.30pm. How Dad’s Memory, Digital Trail Led Police To Suspect In 7 HoursHe told police that he had come to CDR Chowk to pick up a passenger when he spotted the girl and allegedly abducted her. “After sexually assaulting her, he claimed that he strangled her and then hit her with stones before dumping the body in a forested area near the Gurgaon border,” an officer said.Singh’s wife and two kids live in Bihar. Police learnt that he had a criminal background at his native place. He was linked to at least three cab aggregators.At around 8.30pm, the accused was taken to Mandi village for crime scene reconstruction. While cops were asking him to identify where he had parked the car, he allegedly snatched a pistol and fired a round at the team, police claimed.Get the latest India news and live updates.

Sonam Wangchuk, LAB member and environmentalist, was part of the May talks, described later by both groups as “historic”.This concern was raised Tuesday at Leh’s Polo Ground by speakers from LAB and other groups before a gathering of around 7,000 people. The other groups present were Ladakh Buddhist Association (LBA), Ladakh Gonpa Association (LGA), Anjuman Imamia, Anjuman Moin-ul-Islam and representatives of the Christian community.The speakers also highlighted other worries, including a proposed excise policy change to allow free liquor sales throughout Ladakh, privatisation of Ladakh Power Development Department (LPDD), land and tourism-related issues.LAB co-chairman Lakrook claims he had pointed out what he described as “omissions” in the draft minutes of the May talks and sought corrections, but the revised minutes were not released or sent back to him.Several rounds of talks have been held with the Centre on Ladakh since 2023. The process stopped after four people were killed and over 80 injured on Sept 24, 2025, in alleged police firing on protesters in Leh demanding statehood. LAB’s Wangchuk was accused of inciting the protesters, arrested, charged under NSA and kept in Jodhpur jail. The Centre revoked his NSA detention in March this year.Get the latest India news and live updates.
