On 27th May: In Patna Law College, final year student Harsh Raj was brutally lynched by over 10 unidentified attackers armed with hockey sticks, iron rods, and bricks. He succumbed to his injuries, sparking questions about the motive and safety in educational institutions. The incident has led to grief, speculation, and calls for a thorough investigation and swift action.
The Karnataka High Court ruled that election manifesto pledges, like the ‘five guarantees’, do not constitute corrupt practices. The dismissal of a petition against Shivajinagar MLA Rizwan Arshad sets a precedent, emphasizing the necessity of substantial evidence implicating candidates for commitments outlined in manifestos to be deemed as corrupt practices. The decision safeguards the democratic process and clarifies the legal standing of election promises.
