A chilling video of the accused in the Indore MBA student murder case has sparked outrage after he was seen smiling and appearing unconcerned when questioned about the crime.
The accused, Piyush Dhanotia, was arrested for allegedly raping and murdering his 25-year-old classmate in Indore, Madhya Pradesh. Police said he strangled the woman on February 10 inside his rented accommodation and later locked the room before fleeing. Her partially decomposed body was discovered days later after residents complained of a foul smell.
However, what has intensified public anger is the accused&rsquo;s demeanour. In a video that surfaced online, Dhanotia is seen smiling when reporters ask him why he committed the crime. When pressed for answers, he responded dismissively, saying that what had happened had already happened and that he would speak at the right time. Throughout the interaction, he showed no visible sign of regret.
Police officials said he admitted during interrogation that he forced the woman into sexual acts and killed her when she resisted, though he has reportedly changed his version multiple times. Investigators are also examining allegations that he circulated objectionable videos of the victim in their college WhatsApp group.
The victim&rsquo;s father has accused the accused of blackmailing his daughter with obscene images and attempting to extort money.
As the investigation continues, the accused&rsquo;s apparent lack of remorse captured on camera has become a focal point of the case, drawing sharp reactions both online and offline.

Days after 23-year-old Sahil Dhaneshra lost his life in a fatal SUV crash in Delhi&rsquo;s Dwarka, the father of the 17-year-old accused has expressed regret over the incident, stating that his family is &ldquo;deeply grief-stricken.&rdquo; He also confirmed that the Scorpio SUV involved in the accident is part of his commercial transport business.
The crash occurred around 11:50 am on February 3 near Lal Bahadur Shastri Institute of Management in Sector 11, Dwarka. According to police, the SUV rammed into a Yamaha R15 motorcycle, killing Sahil on the spot. The vehicle then struck a parked Swift Dzire, injuring cab driver Ajit Singh.
Post-mortem findings revealed that Sahil sustained a fractured skull, multiple rib fractures, and an elbow injury due to the high-impact collision.
The minor driver was detained at the scene and booked under provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for rash driving, negligence causing death, and endangering life. He was later presented before the Juvenile Justice Board and sent to an observation home. On February 10, he was granted interim bail to appear for his Class 10 board examinations.
Meanwhile, the Delhi Police registered a separate case against the boy&rsquo;s father under Section 199A of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, which holds guardians or vehicle owners accountable when a minor commits a traffic offence.
Speaking to the media after being questioned, the father said he was not in the city at the time of the accident and was unaware that his son had taken the vehicle. He stated that the family has cooperated with investigators and provided all necessary documents.
Sahil&rsquo;s mother alleged that her son was killed by a &ldquo;reckless teen&rdquo; just minutes away from his workplace. The 23-year-old, who worked part-time at an insurance firm, had plans to pursue higher studies in the United Kingdom later this year.

A 27-year-old man has been arrested in Andhra Pradesh&rsquo;s Annamayya district for allegedly abducting and murdering a seven-year-old girl from his neighbourhood in Madanapalle town.
The child had been playing outside her home on Sunday evening when she went missing, sparking panic among her family and local residents. A missing complaint was filed the following morning, prompting an intensive search operation led by district police.
Investigators reviewed CCTV footage from across the town, which reportedly showed the suspect, a neighbour living opposite the victim&rsquo;s house, taking the child into his residence. Acting on this lead, police searched the house on Tuesday morning.
During the inspection, officers discovered the girl&rsquo;s body concealed inside a water storage drum within the premises. The accused was present at the house at the time and was immediately taken into custody.
Preliminary findings suggest the child was killed inside the residence on Sunday night, and her body was hidden thereafter. Authorities are probing whether sexual assault occurred before the murder, with confirmation pending post-mortem and forensic examination results.
Following the discovery, tensions escalated in the area. Residents and family members staged a protest on the Madanapalle highway, briefly preventing police from shifting the body to the government hospital for autopsy and demanding strict punishment for the accused.
Police have stated that all possible angles, including prior allegations of inappropriate behaviour by the suspect, are being examined as the investigation continues.

7-Year-Old Killed, Neighbour Arrested

A 24-year-old MBA student was found dead inside her classmate&rsquo;s rented house in Indore after neighbours alerted police about a strong foul smell coming from the locked premises.
The discovery was made on February 13 in the Dwarkapuri police station area. When officers broke open the door, they found the woman&rsquo;s body inside the house. She was pursuing her Master of Business Administration degree at a local college. The property belonged to her classmate, who had allegedly fled the city after the incident.
Police later tracked the accused to Mumbai and took him into custody. During interrogation, he allegedly confessed to strangling the woman following a dispute and later attempting to conceal his involvement.
Investigators said the two were in a close relationship. The accused reportedly suspected the woman of interacting with other men and allegedly killed her in a fit of rage before escaping.
During his time on the run, the accused is said to have travelled to Navi Mumbai and performed occult rituals near Panvel, claiming he was mentally disturbed and wanted to communicate with the deceased.
The victim&rsquo;s father has accused the classmate of blackmailing his daughter using private photographs. He alleged that the accused tried to extort money by threatening to circulate the images and even shared them in a college WhatsApp group.
Police said further investigation into the case is underway.

Two wardens posted at Rohini Jail have been arrested for allegedly running an extortion racket inside the prison, targeting undertrial inmates and their families for several months. The arrests were carried out by officials of the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) following a sting operation.
The accused, Dinesh Dabas and Pankaj Kumar, had been serving at the facility for nearly three years. Investigators said they demanded payments ranging from ₹50,000 to ₹1 lakh from families in exchange for providing basic facilities to inmates, including cleaner cells, timely meals, and other routine amenities.
Authorities alleged that the wardens also offered additional illegal services for extra money, such as arranging mobile phones for prisoners and exempting them from certain daily duties inside the jail.
The alleged misconduct surfaced after multiple anonymous complaints were submitted to the ACB by affected families who claimed they had been pressured and threatened. In February, one family formally approached both the police and the ACB with details of the alleged demands.
Acting on the complaint, the ACB deployed a special team that posed as relatives of an inmate. On February 10, the two wardens were allegedly caught accepting a bribe during the operation. Further investigation into the case is underway.

A tragic case in Kochi has taken a disturbing turn after investigators confirmed that a six-year-old girl, found dead with her father in January, had been subjected to sexual abuse before her death.
Police said the findings emerged from the post-mortem report, which indicated that the child had endured abuse over the past year. Based on the autopsy results, authorities have invoked provisions of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO). The case had initially been registered as an unnatural death.
The incident came to light on January 16, when the girl and her father were found dead at their rented residence under the jurisdiction of the Elamakkara police station. Police suspect the child was poisoned before the father died by suicide.
According to investigators, the child&rsquo;s mother stated she was unaware of any abuse. She also mentioned ongoing financial strain in the family, as her husband had recently lost his job while she worked at a shopping mall in the city.
On the evening before the incident, the father reportedly sent his wife a message indicating he was leaving with their daughter. When she returned home and found the house locked, she initially believed they had stepped out. Repeated calls went unanswered. The following morning, with relatives&rsquo; help, the door was forced open. The man was found hanging from the ceiling, and the child was lying on the bed. Both were declared dead at a hospital.
Police said they will record statements from relatives and acquaintances, and also question teachers at the child&rsquo;s school. CCTV footage from the area is being examined to determine whether anyone else visited the house around the time of the deaths.
The investigation is ongoing.

Kochi Child Death Case Takes Dark Turn

A woman was allegedly strangled by her married partner and her body concealed inside an iron box before being dumped into a septic tank in Bhopal, police said.
The remains were discovered on Thursday evening in an area under the Nishatpura police station limits after children playing nearby complained of a foul smell. Residents noticed an iron box floating inside a water-filled tank on a vacant plot and alerted authorities. Police retrieved the container and recovered the woman&rsquo;s body, which has been sent for post-mortem examination.
Initial reports said the victim&rsquo;s identity was being verified. However, subsequent media accounts identified her as Ashrafi alias Siya, originally from Maharashtra&rsquo;s Gondia district.
Investigators suspect she was killed earlier this week by her partner, Sameer, who is married and has two children. According to police sources cited in media reports, the two had connected on Instagram about a year ago and later entered into a relationship. Around three months ago, Siya reportedly moved to Bhopal to live with him in the Kamla Nagar area.
Tensions allegedly escalated due to frequent disputes, including arguments involving Sameer&rsquo;s wife. Police believe a heated altercation on Monday turned fatal, with Siya allegedly being strangled during the confrontation.
Authorities suspect the accused, with assistance from family members, placed the body inside an iron box and disposed of it in the septic tank to destroy evidence. While Sameer is currently absconding, police have reportedly detained his brother, mother and sister in connection with the case.
Further investigation is underway.

Police in Odisha have rescued a two-and-a-half-year-old boy who was allegedly sold by his father for ₹1 lakh in the Nilgiri area. Two individuals, the child&rsquo;s father and the alleged buyer, have been detained for questioning.
The incident occurred in Barisahi village under the Nilgiri Notified Area Council. The matter surfaced after a video, purportedly showing the father negotiating the sale of the child with a prospective buyer, circulated widely on social media. Authorities said the authenticity of the video is still being examined.
Following a complaint filed by a local activist at the Nilgiri police station, police launched an investigation and traced the toddler to the Chiminibhati area. The child has since been rescued and placed before the Child Welfare Committee for care and protection.
Officials identified the father as Rakesh Kumar Behera, alias Kua, a mason by profession. Police sources said he allegedly received ₹50,000 as an initial payment. During questioning, he reportedly cited financial distress and the responsibility of raising four children as reasons behind his actions.
Sources further indicated that Behera had been married twice and that the rescued child was born to his second wife, who is currently living separately.
Police said further investigation is underway to ascertain the full circumstances of the case and whether others were involved.

A 32-year-old man allegedly shot his 26-year-old girlfriend before dying by suicide inside a parked car in Sector 107 of Noida on Saturday morning, police said. A pistol was recovered from his right hand at the scene.
Investigators believe the couple had known each other for nearly 15 years and were in a relationship. Preliminary findings suggest the man may have taken the extreme step after the woman decided to marry someone else, reportedly under family pressure.
The vehicle was found around two kilometres from the woman&rsquo;s home in Sector 101. Officials said there were no CCTV cameras near the exact spot, and teams are now examining footage from surrounding routes to trace their movements prior to the incident.
Before the shooting, the man allegedly sent a message to his family claiming he intended to end his life and blaming the woman for his decision. Police are verifying the authenticity of the message. After sending it, his phone was switched off. The woman&rsquo;s phone also became unreachable later, according to her family.
The man, a resident of Trilokpuri in Delhi, operated a water plant business. The woman, who lived in Sector 101, worked at a private firm. Family members from both sides reported that the couple had been missing since Friday evening.
According to relatives, the man had previously approached the woman&rsquo;s family with a marriage proposal, which was declined. Differences over caste were also cited as a possible factor. Police confirmed that the firearm used was illegal and are investigating how it was obtained.
Authorities said the exact sequence of events will be determined after the post-mortem. Preliminary evidence suggests the woman was shot before the man turned the gun on himself, but officials have not ruled out any possibility. No case had been formally registered at the time of reporting, and further investigation is underway.
