Delhi woman cries for help

A woman in a car was crying out for help in the early hours of Monday. A call to the police control room (PCR) about the incident led to several PCR vans undertaking a high-speed car chase on the streets of South Delhi. Nonetheless, the car that the police officers were chasing managed to give them the slip and the police are yet to gather concrete clues about the matter.

Reports claim that the absence of any complaint of a woman missing or kidnapped in such circumstances has led the police to believe that this could be a case of “dispute between known people”.  The police informed that the dramatic event unfolded in the South Extension Part 1 at around 12:35am, after a group of NEET aspirants spotted a grey Hyundai i20 car with two men and two women.

Quoting the students, the police officers said that one man was behind the wheel and a woman was sitting next to him on the front seat. The backseat of the car was occupied by another man and woman. The deputy commissioner of police (south) Chandan Chowdhary narrated that the woman at the back was trying to get out of the car, but the man who was sitting next to her was preventing her from alighting. The woman who was seated on the front seat was shouting for help. 

The DCP continued that the student unsuccessfully tried to stop the car, which sped away towards INA. The student managed to note down a Delhi registration number, which they shared with the police later at around 1.15am. The DCP further asserted that they did not find records of any car by this number. 

Police further affirmed that a PCR car in the aforesaid area managed to note down the number of a similar car, a Haryana registration number and have sent out an alert on the police radio scanner. After receiving the alert, three PCR vans in the area spotted a car with similar description and commenced a high speed chase from the INA towards Safdarjung at around 1 am. Moreover, the car managed to give police the slip by taking the Barapullah flyover.

Officers at the Kotla Mubarakpur police station checked CCTV footage around the spot from where the students first spotted the car, and the footage appears to confirm what the students had reported. Another police officer mentioned that a camera showed a car, possibly a Maruti Celerio or a Hyundai i10, around 12.35am at the mentioned spot. The car’s front door was open and it appeared that the woman was calling out for help. However, the CCTV had failed to capture the car’s number plate. 

DCP Chowdhury mentioned that the Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras which issued automatic speeding challans are present on the Barapullah flyover at Sewa Nagar and at the DND Flyover. Chowdhury added that they expected the car to have passed these camera locations at a high speed between 12:45am and 1:30am. 

To confirm this, the police suspected that the car at South Extension and the car that the PCR vans chased are the same, but there is no concrete evidence as yet. On Monday evening the police concluded that there is a dispute between the known people. 

The DCP asserted that efforts are still being carried on to verify and trace the unidentified woman and it appears that the possibility of it being a case of kidnapping is unlikely. He added that the incident could probably be a matter of some dispute between the known persons.

Bihar government cabinet

A major cabinet expansion took place in Bihar on Thursday, with 32 leaders from the ruling NDA alliance inducted into the state government. Among the prominent names was Nishant Kumar, son of former Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar, who entered the cabinet for the first time.

The expansion included representatives from all major NDA allies in the state. According to reports, the BJP secured 15 ministerial berths, while JD(U) got 13 positions. Two ministers were inducted from Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), while Hindustani Awam Morcha and Rashtriya Lok Morcha received one berth each.

The oath-taking ceremony was held in Patna in the presence of senior NDA leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh.

Nishant Kumar’s induction comes weeks after he formally entered active politics. His entry into the Bihar cabinet is being viewed as a significant development for JD(U), which had long projected an anti-dynasty image under Nitish Kumar’s leadership.

The cabinet reshuffle follows Nitish Kumar’s move to the Rajya Sabha earlier this year and the formation of the government led by Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said Operation Sindoor demonstrated India’s firm response against terrorism and highlighted the country’s commitment to national security.

Marking one year of the operation, the Prime Minister praised the courage, precision and professionalism of the Indian armed forces. He said the military action was carried out in response to the Pahalgam terror attack that had claimed the lives of 26 civilians in 2025.

Operation Sindoor was launched on May 7, 2025, as a calibrated tri-services operation targeting terror infrastructure linked to cross-border terrorism. Reports said the operation showcased coordinated action by the armed forces and was seen as a major counter-terror response by India.

On the anniversary of the operation, PM Modi also changed the display pictures across his social media platforms, including X, Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. The image carried the text “Operation Sindoor” along with the Indian tricolour design.

The Indian Air Force also shared visuals and messages recalling the operation and highlighting India’s military response. A video released by the force described the operation as a strong message against terrorism and referred to the precision strikes carried out during the mission.

Operation Sindoor was launched following the Pahalgam terror attack, after which India carried out strikes on terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, according to official statements and reports published at the time.

Actor-turned-politician Vijay met Tamil Nadu Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar again on Thursday as his party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), continued efforts to prove it has enough support to form the next government in the state.

TVK emerged as the single-largest party in the 234-member Tamil Nadu Assembly after winning 108 seats, but it remains short of the majority mark of 118.

The Congress has extended support to TVK, adding five MLAs to Vijay’s side. However, the alliance still needs additional backing from other parties or independents to comfortably cross the halfway mark.

According to reports, the Governor has not yet been fully convinced that TVK currently has the required numbers to form a stable government. This has delayed clarity over the swearing-in ceremony and the formal invitation to form the government.

Political activity intensified after reports emerged that some AIADMK legislators were moved to a resort in Puducherry amid speculation over possible support to TVK. AIADMK leaders, however, publicly denied any internal crisis.

TVK sources have expressed confidence that the party will be able to demonstrate majority support during discussions with the Governor.

The Tamil Nadu election results marked a major political shift in the state, with TVK breaking the long-standing dominance of the DMK and AIADMK in its first Assembly election contest.
