The Andheri Court extended police custody of Aditya Pandit until Monday in connection with the abetment of suicide case of Air India pilot Srishti Tuli. Investigators seek to retrieve deleted WhatsApp chats, believing they hold crucial insights. Pandit’s failure to report Tuli’s threats and entering her house without police involvement raises suspicions.

India’s economy grew at its slowest pace in seven quarters, expanding just 5.4% year-on-year in the July-September quarter. Weaker manufacturing and private consumption drove the slowdown. The Reserve Bank of India faces calls to cut rates to stimulate demand, while Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government is under pressure to address uneven growth and joblessness.

The two criminals in question, Tabrez Ali and Saurabh alias Bittu, are listed criminals in the Indore police records.
