In separate news,  charred body of a woman was discovered in a burning bag in Delhi's Ghazipur area near the Delhi-Uttar Pradesh border early Sunday. Police suspect murder and have arrested two individuals. The body, dumped from a vehicle around midnight, lacked identification, complicating efforts to establish the victim's identity. CCTV footage shows the bag was likely thrown from a car coming from Kondli. Authorities believe the murder occurred elsewhere, with the body being disposed of in Ghazipur. A case has been registered for murder and evidence destruction. Police have sought public assistance in identifying the victim or reporting missing persons.
