Delhi Police have registered an FIR against online grocery delivery platform Blinkit after button knives allegedly used in stabbing incidents in West Delhi's Khyala area were traced to purchases made through the platform. The action follows a murder case in which minor victim Sohail died after being stabbed in the stomach near a community centre in C Block, Khyala. Two juvenile accused disclosed during questioning that the knives were ordered via Blinkit. Police conducted a decoy operation, successfully ordering button knives themselves to verify the claim. Raids on multiple Blinkit dark stores across Delhi recovered over a dozen such knives. A notice will soon be issued to the company seeking its response. (PC: X)
