AAP claims Arvind Kejriwal's car was attacked with stones during campaigning in New Delhi. Ahead of the February 5 Assembly elections in Delhi, several block-level leaders and workers from the Congress and BJP on Saturday joined the Aam Aadmi Party in the presence of Chief Minister Atishi. Welcoming the new members, Atishi said, "Taking inspiration from the work done by Arvind Kejriwal and AAP, the convoy of the party is growing by the day." Prominent among those who joined the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) was Mamata Verma, along with several Congress workers from the Wazirpur Assembly constituency. Leaders and workers from the Kirari constituency also switched allegiance to the AAP. BJP's former councillor candidate from Sundar Nagri, Bhumika Singh, also joined AAP along with her supporters, further bolstering the latter's cadre-base ahead of the polls. The 70-member Delhi Assembly will go to polls on February 5, and the results will be out on February 8.

A Sealdah court on Friday found accused Sanjay Roy guilty in the rape and murder case of an on-duty doctor at R G Kar Medical College and Hospital, an incident that sparked nationwide outrage last year. The case, investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), involved the rape and murder of a postgraduate trainee doctor, whose body was found in the hospital's seminar room on August 9. The Crime Branch of Mumbai Police have formed 20 teams to search for the accused who attacked the Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan at his residence, leaving him injured, said Mumbai Police. To ensure the early arrest of the accused, the police have started investigating people roaming around unnecessarily at night. Along with this, people whose names are already in the police records are also being called to the police stations for questioning. The police are also showing the picture of the accused captured in the CCTV footage during interrogation. Last night, the police brought more than 15 people to the police station for questioning.

TikTok said it will have to go dark this weekend unless the outgoing Biden administration assures the company it won't enforce a shutdown of the popular app after the Supreme Court on Friday unanimously upheld the federal law banning the app unless it's sold by its China-based parent company. The Supreme Court in its ruling held that the risk to national security posed by TikTok's ties to China overcomes concerns about limiting speech by the app or its 170 million users in the United States.

TMC seeks 'death penalty' for RG Kar convict

The ruling TMC in West Bengal on Saturday welcomed the conviction of Sanjay Roy in the rape and murder of the doctor at the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, calling for the "death penalty" to set a strong precedent.

A trial court in Sealdah found Roy, a civic volunteer, guilty of raping and murdering the on-duty doctor at the state-run hospital on August 9. The court is set to pronounce the sentence on Monday.

Senior TMC MP Sougata Roy told PTI, "The ruling must be followed by the harshest punishment possible for Roy."

"This will not only serve as a warning to others who think they can get away with lawlessness but also restore people's faith in the system. We need to ensure that such actions are met with the strongest deterrent," he said.
