Caravans of men, women and children have started walking from where they live in Delhi and Haryana to their villages, mostly in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Madhya Pradesh since the announcement of a nationwide lockdown by PM Modi.

On Saturday, the UP State Road Transport Corporation said they are going to provide 200 buses every day, 8 am onward, to help labourers stuck at Noida and Ghaziabad.

The families were shifted out of the colony over the course of three years since 2014. The last time they earned some money was several months ago.

A middle-aged woman wriggled her way through an iron gate bound by chains to enter a Mohalla Clinic in Northeast Delhi’s Trilokpuri. The entrance to the clinic has been shut. A doctor, a multi-task worker and a pharmacist have locked themselves inside the clinic, and speak to the patients from a window. The woman eventually […]

Authorities provided Rs. 3000 in cash and ration to last a few days to the riot-hit victims before clearing out the relief camp.

Many drivers said they had been saving up money for months to buy land in Outer Delhi or back home in their villages. But with the lockdown in effect, they have to dip into their savings to keep themselves afloat.

The High Court and the trial courts were functioning under restrictions since March 1.

Ishrat Jahan and 5 others were arrested by Delhi Police, who claimed that a flag march headed by senior officers tried to clear the roads near the Khureji protest site but Jahan incited the crowd to pelt stones at the policemen.

When the incident took place in 2012, she was living at Mukherjee Nagar and preparing for the IAS. The case changed her life — she got in touch with the victim’s mother and eventually represented her during the hearing on the execution of death warrants at Patiala House Court.

In a late-night hearing, the Delhi High Court held that the grounds raised by the counsel of the convicts, including that one of them is a juvenile, had already been dealt with by courts.

Additional Sessions Judge Dharmender Rana passed the order setting the execution per schedule on March 20 at 5.30 am. All four convicts-Mukesh (31), Pawan Gupta (24), Vinay Sharma (25) and Akshay Kumar Singh (33) — have exhausted their legal remedies.

Mukesh had moved the HC Wednesday, stating that “denial of calling of records, explanation and examination of effect of evidence is denial of justice and is also cruelty”.

Hussain was produced before Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Pawan Singh Rajawat for the first time. On previous occasions, he was produced before the judge at his residence following his arrest in connection with a riot-related case.

Metropolitan Magistrate Rajat Goyal had directed police to file an ATR on a plea by Jamia, which sought registration of an FIR against police action on students at the university on December 15.

The police told the court that they required Hussain's custody to "unearth the conspiracy behind the riots which led to the murder of Ankit Sharma and identify other members from the mob".

The ATR also stated that the police could not identify between rioters who carried petrol bombs and trapped students.

The court had directed police to not interrogate him till his examination is over and also passed directions to the police to accompany him to the examination centre and provide him with requisite stationery.

The IO told the court since there were several thousand people in the mob who need to be identified, and that the weapon of offence has not yet been recovered, his custody for five days was required for thorough investigation.

Metropolitan Magistrate Prabhdeep Kaur, while granting bail to Parvez Ahmed, Mohd Iliyas and Mohd Danish, pulled up the case’s investigating officer for not offering bail in the first instance.
