Delhi continued to reel under intense heat on Sunday, with the heat index crossing 50°C and a dust storm hitting parts of the city, though weather officials have predicted relief later this week.

The convict, identified as Bhimrao Kambale, was found guilty of raping and murdering the minor in Nasrapur village. The incident took place on May 1.

Investigators believe they wanted the public attention on the case to fade and for Chetan to achieve financial stability during that time.
