The police were able to nab down six accused in the Dalit Sisters rape and murder case in UP’s Lakhimpur. The police have identified Chotu, Junaid, Suhail, Hafizul Rehman, Karimuddin and Arif as the primary suspects, and have successfully taken them into custody on Thursday.

Two teenage Dalit sisters were discovered hanging from a tree in the Lakhimpur area in Uttar Pradesh on Monday which prompted police actions. The police sent the bodies for post mortem where it was confirmed that the victims were raped and then strangled. The last rites and cremation were done Thursday itself.

The police, while talking to the media, have also suggested that the accused were friends with the victims and went on a ride on motorbikes and were not forcibly abducted. However, the family denied the claims of acquaintance between the victims and the accused and asked the UP police for proof for their claims.

The Superintendent of Police, Sanjeev Suman, has also informed the media that out of the six arrested the man who had allegedly introduced the girls to three of his friends is also in custody. However, according to the police, the man who introduced the girls to his three friends, was not present at the scene of crime.

The police told the medial that the crime was committed by three people who took advantage of the friendship and raped and murdered the victims. After which, the girls allegedly started demanding the men to marry them which triggered the men to strangle them. The three men, later on, called up their 2 other friends who helped them make by hanging the girls to the tree to stage it like a suicide.

The family of the victim had initially refused carrying out the rituals of last rites as they demanded compensation and death sentence against the six accused. However, later on, the cremation was proceeded as the family buried the body of the accused.

The burial took place in a field near the victims home as their community practices burying the dead rather than carrying out the cremation if children are involved.

All six have been booked under murder and rape charges, accompanied by the Protection of Children Against Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. Deputy CM, Brajesh Pathak also promised stringent actions against the accused by remarking that he will do everything in his power to make their souls shiver.

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.
