The investigation into the death of singer Zubin Garg sees a significant development with the arrest of two of his personal security officers in Guwahati.

Probe Links Lucknow Conversion Case To Delhi Red Fort Blast Accused
A special report on an investigation in Lucknow and Delhi has revealed a potential link between a religious conversion case at King George Medical University (KGMU) and the Delhi Red Fort blast case. An arrested resident doctor from KGMU was allegedly in contact with an accused in the blast case. The doctor was arrested for allegedly trapping a female colleague in a conversion racket, described by police as a 'Love Jihad factory'. According to the report, a KGMU fact-finding committee expressed doubts 'that there can be some doctors in connection' with the main accused. This has led the committee to recommend that the UP Special Task Force (STF) be involved to probe what could be a 'bigger racket' of illegal conversions.
Actor Vijay's CBI grilling: Political pawn or genuine probe into Karur stampede
The political conflict between the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and West Bengal's government escalates as the agency petitions the Supreme Court, accusing Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of obstructing its probe into political consultancy firm I-PAC. The ED alleges interference and removal of evidence during raids connected to a money laundering case. In a contentious debate, BJP National Spokesperson Sanju Verma demands Banerjee's arrest under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for allegedly tampering with evidence. This view is countered by analysts who question the ED's credibility and defend the Chief Minister's actions. The report also covers the CBI questioning of actor-politician Vijay in Tamil Nadu regarding the fatal Karur stampede, which claimed 41 lives. Panelists discuss whether the investigation is a political pressure tactic by the BJP or a necessary inquiry into the tragedy.
