In East Delhi’s New Ashok Nagar, a nursing student was found dead in her locked room, raising concerns of suicide. Authorities responded to a PCR call reporting that the girl was unconscious behind a locked door. Upon forcing entry, police and fire department personnel discovered her with a cannula in her hand and two IV drips hanging from the ceiling fan.

Centralised Accident and Trauma Services (CATS) medical staff declared her dead, and her body was taken to Lal Bahadur Shastri Hospital. The police have confiscated her mobile phone for a detailed investigation, and her family has been notified.

In a separate incident, an 18-year-old boy died when an outdoor air conditioner unit fell on him while he was standing on the road with a friend in the Karol Bagh area of Delhi on Saturday, according to police. Around 7 pm, under Desh Bandhu Gupta police station limits, it was reported that the AC unit fell from the second floor onto the two boys who were conversing on the road.

The injured were taken to a nearby hospital, where Jitesh, 18, from Doriwalan, Delhi, was pronounced dead. The second person, Pranshu, 17, from Patel Nagar, Delhi, was admitted to the hospital. A case has been registered, and the forensic team has examined the scene. Further investigation is ongoing.

A CCTV video of the incident, showing the two friends embracing before the AC unit fell, has also surfaced on social media.
