Overview
- In Sonarpur, West Bengal, TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee was heckled and roughly handled during a visit and police have arrested five local suspects while TMC leaders accuse the BJP of sponsoring the attack.
- The West Bengal CID visited Banerjee's Kolkata residence and has served him a summons to appear for questioning on June 1 in a fake‑signature FIR, a move TMC says is legal pressure on an opposition figure.
- In Karnataka political reporting says Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has resigned and D.K. Shivakumar is the widely cited front‑runner to succeed him after a decade of intra‑party rivalry and organizational work.
- A cluster of violent crimes across states has produced swift police responses: a six‑member family mass killing in Vijayapura linked to a 25‑acre land dispute, the arrest of a suspect in para‑athlete Chirag Tyagi’s shooting, and the death of a main accused, Asad, in a police encounter in Ghaziabad.
- One national outlet has reported nine arrests tied to alleged ISI plotting and seized explosives but that claim remains reported by a single source and lacks independent corroboration.
