Overview
- Authorities say a 17‑year‑old girl was allegedly raped, stabbed and her body dumped in an open field; heavy decomposition and animal damage complicated identification and forensic work.
- Delhi Police have arrested one adult, identified as Shivam (also reported as Shivam Ganesh), and three juveniles aged 16–17 after tracing a tempo linked to the case.
- Investigators analysed more than 50 CCTV feeds to follow the vehicle's movement and recovered the tempo, two knives and clothing that police say are connected to the crime.
- Swaroop Nagar police registered FIR No. 380/2026 under sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and Section 6 of the POCSO Act and are working to reconstruct the sequence of events and assign individual roles.
- Police say the victim was not reported missing by her family because she often left home for periods, and officials warn that forensic tests and technical evidence will determine how charges proceed.
