"Intent to kill Hindus in Calcutta": Supreme Court stayed a Delhi High Court directive granting premature release to Rashid Khan, the 77-year-old mastermind behind the 1993 Bowbazar blast in Kolkata that tragically killed 69 people

The trigger was deceptively trivial: whether the carriage door should be kept closed to block the lashing rain, or left open for ventilation. Minutes later, 22-year-old Mayank Ramesh Lohar lay in a pool of blood, his abdomen pierced by a knife.

"तुम इतना जो मुस्कुरा रहे हो": How Chhattisgarh's Kharve village grocer Ramsahay Jaiswal poisoned eight local men with toxic borax drinks to settle petty grudges and calmly attended their funerals before a lone survivor cried foul
The red dust of Chhattisgarh’s Baloda Bazar-Bhatapara district has long settled over the freshly turned earth of the Kharve village cemetery, but the silence that remains is no longer peaceful.
