Deepam row heats up Tamil Nadu politics, Luthra brothers anticipatory bail plea rejected

The Madurai Deepam controversy is intensifying with RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat asserting that the Deepam issue can be resolved within the state on the basis of the strength of Hindus. The DMK has doubled down on its attack, insisting that the impeachment motion against Justice G.R. Swaminathan is justified.

Meanwhile, in the Goa nightclub fire case, trouble is mounting for the owners, the Luthra brothers, who were detained in Thailand. The Delhi court has dismissed the Luthra brothers' anticipatory bail plea. Other segments include Prime Minister Narendra Modi hosting a dinner for NDA MPs, surprise checks at Bengaluru's Parappana Agrahara jail, and the box office collections of the movie 'Dhurandhar'.
