Former Congress Member of Parliament Sajjan Kumar passed away in Delhi on Thursday at the age of 80. For decades, he stood as one of the Congress party’s most influential leaders across the national capital. However, his long political career was eventually completely overshadowed by his convictions in criminal cases stemming from the 1984 anti-Sikh riots. He died while serving a sentence of life imprisonment, with his legal appeal challenging his 2018 conviction still pending before the Supreme Court of India.

In a significant legal development, a local court in West Bengal issued an arrest warrant on Wednesday, 19th August, against Trinamool Congress (TMC) Lok Sabha Member of Parliament Mahua Moitra. The judicial action was initiated after the lawmaker repeatedly failed to appear before the bench in connection with an ongoing hate speech case, despite being served with multiple official summonses.

Following the major announcement by Union Home Minister Amit Shah regarding the complete dismantlement of the ISI-backed Shahzad Bhatti terror syndicate, a visibly unnerved Bhatti has released a video message attempting to deflect the damage. In the recording, the Pakistan-based gangster and intelligence asset made the desperate claim that the 253 individuals arrested across India are not his terror associates, but are instead supporters of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) connected to the July 20 demonstrations at Jantar Mantar.

In the rugged, fog-shrouded mountain pass of Kasara Ghat, where the Western Ghats drop abruptly into deep forested ravines along the Mumbai-Nashik highway, local authorities recovered a tightly sealed burlap sack lodged in the dense underbrush. Inside lay the decaying remains of 40-year-old Vasant Gorakhnath Satpute, his throat brutally severed.

Along the razor-thin mountain passes linking the Kashmir Valley to the high-altitude desert of Ladakh, administrative road closures are rarely casual administrative inconveniences. They are tactical mandates dictated by active counter-insurgency operations, intelligence warnings of potential ambushes, military convoy movements, or severe weather hazards. Yet, at the windswept Minimarg check post near the Zojila Pass, a confrontation between stranded domestic travelers and Indian Army personnel exposed a growing friction between consumer entitlement and the realities of border security.

The intersection of state publicity, public healthcare administration, and official ceremonial events came under intense public scrutiny following an incident at Punjab's state-level Independence Day function in Ferozepur on August 15, 2026. A Health Department tableau designed to promote the Mukh Mantri Sehat Yojana (MMSY)—a state health insurance initiative providing cashless medical treatment up to ₹10 lakh—featured a Bhangra performance by five senior citizens.

In the quiet, tree-lined enclave of Kilokri Jal Vihar in Southeast Delhi, an ancient stone gateway stands as a solitary sentinel over a paved driveway. For six centuries, this gateway opened into a red sandstone and brick masonry palace—a Mahal constructed in 1418 CE during the reign of Khizr Khan, founder of the Sayyid dynasty. Today, the medieval palace is entirely gone. In its place stands a 700-square-metre executive mansion featuring sprawling lawns, high perimeter walls, and modern luxury fixtures.

On the quiet suburban fringe of northwest Bengaluru, where modern concrete developments gradually replace the orchards of Chikkabanavara, a three-storey residential building in Gudde Basavapura became the focal point of a complex homicide investigation. Abhinandan, a 34-year-old diploma engineer employed in the industrial suburb of Peenya, and his five-year-old son, Yaduveer Gowda, were found dead inside their family home.

On May 19, 2026, an Islamabad sessions court delivered a rare moment of swift judicial accountability in Pakistan's battle against gender-based cyber violence. The court convicted 22-year-old Umar Hayat for the premeditated murder of 17-year-old TikTok creator Sana Yousaf, sentencing him to death alongside ten years of rigorous imprisonment and a Rs2 million fine. The verdict came after a high-profile trial that exposed the toxic nexus of digital obsession, male entitlement, and physical violence.
