• Doctors at Maharaja Yashwantrao Hospital said about 24–25 patients are under care and largely stable, while the exact substance consumed has not been confirmed.
• An FIR names Pankaj and Akshay on allegations of rape and blackmail linked to a prior visit to the community dera, and officers said a search for the accused is underway.
• Police detained local leader Sapna Guru following a complaint related to the ongoing factional dispute, and they are looking for other named suspects.
• Protests moved from Nandlalpura to Jawahar Marg and the hospital, with attempts to block traffic and a self‑immolation bid that police said they prevented.
