Delhi Police have detained an Indian man accused of killing an Australian woman in Queensland in 2018. The man, Rajwinder Singh, had left Australia after killing the woman. Toyah Cordingley (24) was killed by Rajwinder, according to investigators, because “her dog barked at him,” NDTV reports. Apparently, after an altercation with his wife, Rajwinder Singh (38) headed to Wangetti Beach in Queensland. He admitted to Delhi police that he was carrying some fruits and a kitchen knife. A pharmacy employee, Cordingley, was walking her dog down the shore. Rajwinder and Cordingley got into a fight, as the latter’s dog was barking at him. According to authorities, this led to the Indian man attacking and reportedly killing Cordingley.

Nearly five months after a bomb exploded outside the high-security Israeli Embassy in Delhi, Indian police have made a breakthrough in the case with the arrest of four youths from Kashmir. "The four youths, all college students in the age group of 20-15 years, were nabbed by the special cell of Delhi Police from Indian-controlled Kashmir's Kargil district. They have been brought from Kashmir to Delhi on transit remand. Their interrogation is on," police sources told UNB on Thursday. The blast occurred outside the Israeli Embassy on the evening of January 29, barely two kilometres from a high-security area where Indian President Ram Nath Kovind and Prime Minister Modi had gathered to witness the British-era 'Beating the Retreat' ceremony marking the end of the country's four-day Republic Day celebrations.

According to police sources, it was an improvised explosive device that was left on the pavement near the Israeli Embassy, wrapped in a polythene bag. The Embassy is located in a high-security zone on Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Road, named after India's former President Dr APJ Abdul Kalam. Prime Minister Modi's official residence is barely 200 metres from the Embassy. After the explosion outside the embassy, investigators had recovered a letter purportedly addressed to Israeli Ambassador to India, Ron Malka. It sweared revenge for the killing of Iran Quds Commander Qassem Soleimani, and Abu Mehdhi Al Muhandis, in a US drone attack last year.

In 2012, at least four people, including the wife of a Israeli diplomat, Tal Yeshova, were injured when a bomb exploded in her car.
