In a major setback for Kannada actor Darshan Thoogudeepa, the Supreme Court has cancelled his bail in a murder case, setting aside a Karnataka High Court order.

The Supreme Court emphasized the need to consider the ground reality in Jammu and Kashmir, citing incidents like Pahalgam, before restoring its statehood. The Centre has been asked to respond within eight weeks to a plea seeking immediate restoration.

The apex court declined an interim stay on the detention of Muslim Bengali migrant workers, citing concerns about the potential consequences of not monitoring illegal immigration.
