Overview
- The administration carried out the demolition on Saturday after city‑magistrate and appellate rulings found the structure built on government land, and police placed MP Iqra Hasan under house arrest when she tried to travel to Saharanpur.
- Officials say the action followed completed legal procedures and involved multiple companies of PAC and RRF for security, while opposition leaders including Asaduddin Owaisi and other parties publicly condemned the move and demanded scrutiny.
- Law enforcement accelerated several criminal probes over the same two days: Indore police arrested a sister‑in‑law in the Raksha Bandhan murder after CCTV and a confession; Ujjain police detained the person known as 'Aghori Kali' and sent them to judicial custody; an accused in Firozabad surrendered in court after firing at an inspector’s sister; and in Fatehpur a suspect who allegedly killed a man and attacked relatives was beaten to death by villagers as police recovered the victim’s body.
- Monsoon and infrastructure failures continued to cause harm: a 14‑year‑old died from an apparent electrocution in flooded Dwarka, villagers in Durg struggled to carry a body through waist‑deep water to a cremation ground, and a suspected drunken driver in Hyderabad crashed into eight parked motorcycles.
- Rescue teams in Nepal extracted two workers alive from the Trishuli‑3A hydropower tunnel about ten days after flood entrapment, and authorities across these stories stress that multiple criminal investigations and public‑safety inquiries remain open with more findings expected.
