The Delhi BNSS (Service of Summons and Warrants) Rules, 2025, have been notified by the city government, paving the way for electronic delivery of court summons and warrants through WhatsApp and e-mail, officials said.

Delhi Crime: Crystal meth’s rise fuels alarm in city
Delhi Crime: A strange concern has gripped the Delhi Police and other law enforcement agencies. Once associated largely with parties, methamphetamine has now become widespread among the city’s youth, valued for its quick and powerful high.
Between May and July this year, the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) has reported multiple seizures of methamphetamine, or crystal meth, in the national capital. On July 21, officers nabbed a foreign national who had hidden 3.81 kg of crystal meth inside an unstitched cloth.
An initial check of her luggage revealed nothing unusual, but a detailed search of the coach uncovered an unclaimed bag concealed in the rear compartment. Inside, six folded salwar suits contained cardboard inserts with polythene-lined cavities. Field tests confirmed the crystalline substance to be methamphetamine. The woman was arrested under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act while travelling from Delhi to Bengaluru.
