A court hearing in India heard that a teenage suspect is accused of killing a boy after snatching his phone to record a bloody video.
The court examined the case of a teenager who is alleged to have murdered a boy and then taken the victim's mobile phone to capture a graphic video of the incident. Prosecutors presented the claim that the suspect deliberately snatched the phone after the killing in order to film the aftermath, which they described as a "bloody" recording.
During the hearing, the prosecution outlined how the video was allegedly used to spread the footage on social media, prompting a swift police investigation that led to the teen's arrest. The defence, however, has not yet presented its version of events, and the accused remains in custody pending further proceedings.
The judge indicated that the matter will proceed to trial, where evidence regarding the phone seizure, the video content, and the circumstances of the boy's death will be examined in detail.
