The number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Delhi has been on the rise again in recent days. The capital has seen a continuous surge in the number of cases, with 152 new infections reported in the last 24 hours alone. The infection rate has also risen to 6.66%. This represents a significant increase from the 117 cases reported on Thursday, indicating that the situation is worsening rapidly.

Experts have suggested that the rise in COVID-19 cases may be linked to the increasing number of cases of H3N2 flu in the city. As more people have been getting tested for H3N2, some have been found to be positive for COVID-19 as well. The trend is reflected in the figures from the past few days, with 84 cases reported on Wednesday and 83 on Tuesday, before the sudden spike on Friday.

The Municipal Corporation of Delhi has issued several recommendations to hospitals in the city to help tackle the situation. Hospitals have been advised to screen patients with fever and maintain an adequate supply of essential medicines. They have also been instructed to ensure that ventilators and other equipment are in good working order.

The Corporation has urged hospitals to promote the booster vaccine dose to their employees and patients and to follow all government guidelines to prevent the spread of COVID-19. A nodal officer has been appointed to ensure that hospitals maintain cleanliness, prevent the spread of infection, and manage biomedical waste effectively.

The situation is not limited to Delhi, as cases of COVID-19 are rising rapidly in other parts of India as well. Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Karnataka are all areas of concern, and the central government has held a meeting to discuss the matter. The focus remains on testing, tracing, and treatment, as authorities work to contain the spread of the virus.

Delhi Police have arrested a vagrant youth in connection with the murder of a man who misbehaved with a guard. The 32-year-old suspect, a resident of Etah, Uttar Pradesh, was apprehended from the Maidan Garhi area of South Delhi.

According to police, the accused, named Ravindra, used to work as a laborer in an event management company in South Delhi and had quit his job some time ago. He started living in DDA Park and was being provided food by a security guard.

The incident occurred on March 9 when the victim, named Ajay, allegedly misbehaved with the guard. Ravindra decided to take revenge by murdering him. The case came to light when police received a complaint about Ajay (24) on March 9.

Police found Ajay’s last location near DDA Park in Rajpur Khurd Extension. A senior police officer said that CCTV footage in the area showed Ajay entering the park with another person but did not show him leaving. Suspicious footage from other CCTV cameras around the park revealed Ajay talking on his mobile phone.

Upon investigating Ajay’s call records, it was discovered that his last incoming call was from a relative. The relative informed police that a stranger had called him and identified himself as Aslam. He told him that Ajay had borrowed 3,000 rupees from him and had given him his phone as collateral.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) Ankit Chauhan said that the suspect, armed with a knife, was at Ramphal Chowk in Dwarka Sector 7, where he was selling oranges and wearing the victim’s shoes. Upon interrogation, Ravindra told police that on March 9, a man who was intoxicated started abusing the security guard who used to feed him. Chauhan said he decided to teach him a lesson.

Ravindra first befriended Ajay, bought alcohol with him, and took him to a deserted area. Chauhan said that when the victim became more intoxicated, he beat him and strangled him. He then fled the scene with Ajay’s mobile phone and shoes.
