Gyanvapi Mosque Case: After a sensational claim by Hindu petitioners that a "Shivling" had been found in a pond at the Gyanvapi Masjid complex in Uttar Pradesh's Varanasi, a court today ordered it sealed.

A police constable reportedly suffered a seizure, swirled around and fell under a moving train while on duty at the Agra Railway Station on Saturday night.

An anti-encroachment drive in Delhi's Jahangirpuri, tense after last week's communal clashes, was stopped following a Supreme Court order on Wednesday but not before a bulldozer razed structures near the mosque at the centre of Saturday's clash.

Hatemonger Yati Narsinghanand, out on bail in the Haridwar hate speech case, has delivered yet another hate speech at a 'religious' conclave in Una, Himachal Pradesh, violating the conditions of his bail.

RSS-linked student group Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad, or ABVP, has started a campaign to stop the Azaan (Islamic prayer) playing over loudspeakers in the city and has asked permission to play the 'Hanuman Chalisa'.

An employee of the Uttar Pradesh power department died by suicide, allegedly after a senior official asked him to "send his wife for a night" if he wanted a transfer.

The bribes were offered by people close to PM Modi, he had claimed, adding that one was linked to the BJP's ideological parent RSS and the other to one of India's top industrialists.
