The National Commission for Women (NCW) has expressed its support for Himanshi Narwal, the widow of Navy officer Lieutenant Vinay Narwal, who was killed in a recent terror attack in Pahalgam.

The NCW condemned the trolling, emphasizing that targeting a woman for her opinions is unacceptable.

The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) in Rajasthan has arrested Bharat Adivasi Party (BAP) MLA Jaikrishn Patel for allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs 20 lakh to drop questions in the state Assembly. This marks a historic first for the ACB, as it is the first time an MLA has been apprehended in a graft case. Patel, a first-time legislator from Banswara, reportedly demanded Rs 10 crore from a complainant to drop questions related to mining, settling for Rs 2.5 crore. He was caught accepting the cash at the MLA quarters in Jaipur, although a man who received the bag of cash managed to escape. ACB officials claim to have audio and video evidence of the bribery. BAP's leadership stated they will take action against Patel if his involvement is confirmed, while Congress leader Sachin Pilot condemned the incident, emphasizing the need for clean politics and a thorough investigation. sources

Include Inflation in Farmers' Aid, Like MLA and MP Salaries

Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar, speaking at the Rajmata Vijayaraje Scindia Agriculture University in Gwalior, called for a Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system for fertiliser subsidies to farmers, akin to practices in the United States. He emphasized that financial assistance to farmers should account for inflation, mirroring the adjustments made for legislators' salaries. Dhankhar highlighted that the current Rs 6,000 annual aid remains unchanged and suggested that direct transfers could significantly increase farmers' incomes. He urged for farmers to transition from mere producers to "agripreneurs," advocating for their involvement in the agricultural value chain to secure fair profits. Addressing challenges like post-harvest management, he stressed the importance of establishing warehouses and cold storage systems managed by cooperatives. Dhankhar concluded by encouraging students to prioritize national interests, reflecting on the contributions of historical leaders and the need for coordinated efforts to enhance farmers' livelihoods in India's agricultural landscape. sources

Mangaluru Murder-Accused Killed; Shocking Allegation Emerges

In Mangaluru, Karnataka, Suhas Shetty, a murder-accused linked to local right-wing groups, was killed by contract killers on Friday, allegedly hired by the family of one of his victims. The attack, which occurred on a busy road and was captured on CCTV, involved five assailants armed with machetes and swords. Investigations revealed that two arrested men claimed they were paid Rs 3 lakh and Rs 2 lakh, respectively, to execute the killing, reportedly funded by the family of Mohammed Fazil, who was murdered in 2022—a crime believed to be a retaliation for the assassination of BJP youth worker Praveen Nettaru, for which Shetty was the prime suspect. Questions have arisen regarding whether compensation funds provided to Fazil's family, including Rs 30 lakh from the Muslim Central Committee and Rs 25 lakh from the Congress government, were misused for this murder. In response to the violence, police imposed prohibitory orders in Mangaluru. sources
