Senior BJP leader and central minister Bisheswar Tudu alleged that while a "chicken thief" can be punished, an official who runs a mineral mafia cannot be touched as the system protects him.

Days after a Cheetah strayed out of Madhya Pradesh's Kuno National Park, Additional Director General of Forests S P Yadav said that such movement of cheetahs is a natural phenomenon and there is nothing to worry about. 

Minister of State for Electronics and IT Rajeev Chandrasekhar said that fact-checkers are a reference point to fight against misinformation and rejected arguments that it will adversely impact "free speech".

On the night of April 2, an unidentified man had set fire to passengers after pouring petrol on them when the train reached Korapuzha bridge near Elathur. Nine people suffered burn injuries and are undergoing treatment at various hospitals.

In the video, one suspect appears to commit the vandalism on the wall of the building while the other keeps watch, it said. At the time of the incident, one suspect wore a black sweater, black pants with a small white logo on the left leg, and black and white high-top running shoes.

The victim was travelling in the Singhad Express from Pune to Mumbai when the 29-year-old accused, hailing from Sitamarhi in Bihar, allegedly took videos and photographs of her and also touched her inappropriately

Congress MP Jairam Ramesh, who heads the Standing Committee on Science and Technology, Environment, Forests and Climate Change, alleged that the Rajya Sabha Chairman had allowed the "subversion of the Standing Committee's basic function"

The woman's family was unaware of her return to the country. They had last year lodged a missing persons complaint after failing to contact with her.

The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT), however, claims that no curriculum trimming has taken place this year and the syllabus was rationalised in June, last year.

Interestingly, sources in the Delhi Police and the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) said that in both cases CCTV footage does not show anyone interfering with the women's belongings or any suspicious movement of anyone including security personnel present on duty.
