In West Delhi, police stopped the burial of a girl after receiving a tip-off that she may have been murdered. Initially, her family claimed she died of typhoid, but a post-mortem examination revealed she was allegedly smothered. The investigation suggests that her death may be connected to a friendship she developed with a boy from her native village, which reportedly led to conflicts with her family. The girl had moved to Delhi with her family about two years ago but maintained contact with the boy. Tensions escalated in the days leading up to her death, with frequent arguments reported between her and her parents. The police were alerted by a cousin of the boy, who expressed concerns about the girl's safety. Following the intervention, the girl's body was taken for examination, confirming the cause of death as smothering.
