Maharashtra man kills daughter to contest polls, Piyush Goyal hails India-US trade deal

A 28-year-old man allegedly murdered his six-year-old daughter to qualify for June panchayat elections in Maharashtra's Nanded district. Under the Maharashtra Panchayat Raj Act, candidates are restricted to two children; the accused, who had three, reportedly pushed his daughter into a canal in Nizamabad. He is now arrested. 

Additionally, the report addresses the Directorate General of Civil Aviation's response to a reported fuel control switch defect on an Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner. Following a London-Bengaluru flight, the DGCA declared the aircraft fit for flight, despite pilot concerns and the June 2025 Ahmedabad crash. Other national updates include the India-US trade deal discussed by Union Minister Piyush Goyal, the suspension of eight Lok Sabha MPs, and the legal dispute between Mamata Banerjee and the Chief Election Commissioner.
