The Delhi Police have successfully cracked a blind hit-and-run case after eight days of intensive investigation, arresting the accused and recovering the offending vehicle.

Angry protesters clashed with the police in Leh city of Ladakh this morning, pelting stones at officials and even burning down a police vehicle, in the first such instance of violence during the ongoing statehood movement.

Protests erupted in Leh, Ladakh, with demonstrators clashing with police and setting a police vehicle on fire. The unrest, spurred by the Leh Apex Body’s youth wing, supports environmentalist Sonam Wangchuk’s hunger strike. Wangchuk is advocating for statehood and Sixth Schedule status for the Union Territory, amidst stalled talks with the Home Ministry.
