Three people died in Indore’s Bhagirathpura area after consuming contaminated water, with over 15,000 residents affected by diarrhoea and vomiting. The contamination was traced to a newly constructed toilet dumping waste into a sinkhole above a water supply line joint. Authorities are flushing pipelines and supplying water via tankers while investigating the incident.

A group of villagers entered the couple’s house and attacked them with sharp weapons. After the assault, the attackers set the house on fire.

A bizarre incident has happened in Maharashtra politics ahead of the state’s civic body elections. A Shiv Sena (Eknath Shinde faction) leader, who was performing his mother’s last rites, was given the election ticket right at the crematorium.
