Nine people lost their lives and several others suffered injuries after a fire ripped through a four-storied residential building in Delhi’s Vivek Vihar area on Sunday. The fire was reported in the early hours, with cops saying that a PCR call was received at 3:48 am.

The police cases came just days after Sandeep Pathak, once a key strategist for the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), defected to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) along with six other Rajya Sabha members.

An IAF helicopter airlifted two people after a teenager was killed and two others injured in Uttar Pradesh’s Siddharthnagar district on Sunday, according to the police. The incident occurred when some teenagers climbed a crumbling overhead water tank to record a social media reel.
