An increase in crimes against women is highlighted by the Titabor murder of a college girl in Assam.

In a horrifying crime that has shaken Titabor in Assam’s Jorhat district, Jagat Singh, a 63-year-old man, has been arrested for allegedly raping, impregnating, and murdering 19-year-old college student Biplabi Das. The student, who was seven months pregnant, had gone missing on November 7, 2025, and her decomposed body was found in a septic tank behind the accused’s shop after a three-day search. Singh initially attempted self-harm in custody but later confessed to killing her to conceal the pregnancy.

The incident has sparked massive protests locally, with residents vandalizing Singh’s shop and demanding harsh punishment. Police are investigating other accused, including Singh’s sons and a pharmacist who allegedly helped him seek an abortion for the victim. The Officer-in-Charge of Titabor Police Station has been placed under departmental inquiry due to alleged negligence.

This brutal case highlights the persistent and growing threat of crimes against women in Assam, exposing failures in police response and stirring community outrage that justice must go beyond punishment to ensure women’s safety and respect in society.

A strong explosion at Red Fort killed ten people and injured numerous more; NIA joins the investigation.

“A powerful explosion near the Red Fort metro station on Monday evening killed at least 10 people and left 24 others injured, sending shockwaves through one of Delhi’s busiest areas. The blast occurred around 6:45 pm from a car parked near Gate No. 1 of the Red Fort metro station, igniting flames that gutted six cars, two e-rickshaws, and an autorickshaw. The impact shattered nearby windows and was loud enough to be heard several kilometers away, including at ITO. Delhi Fire Services brought the fire under control by 7:29 pm with ten fire tenders at the scene.

Eyewitnesses described chaos and panic as people fled. Officials said the National Investigation Agency (NIA), local police, and forensic teams are investigating. Samples from the site have been collected for chemical analysis to determine the nature of the explosives.

The explosion came hours after a major anti-terror operation in Faridabad, where police seized about 360 kg of suspected ammonium nitrate along with weapons and detonators from the rented home of a Kashmiri doctor linked to terror modules. Authorities are probing any possible link between the Faridabad seizure and Monday’s explosion near the Red Fort, a heavily guarded area given its proximity to key national monuments and government offices.”​

Tripura LoP claims that people’s dissatisfaction has left them “panicked” and refers to the BJP and its alliance partner as “directionless.”

“Tripura Leader of Opposition and CPI(M) State Secretary Jitendra Chaudhury launched a sharp attack on the ruling BJP-led state government and its alliance partner, accusing it of running the administration on false promises, black money, and widespread corruption both in the state government and the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC).

Addressing a massive rally organized by the Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) in Agartala, Chaudhury said the large turnout of workers, youth, and marginalized communities symbolized an unprecedented wave of resistance against the current regime. ‘Working people cannot be defeated — and today, you have proved it,’ he declared.

Chaudhury alleged the administration deliberately created obstacles for holding political meetings at the historic Astabal Maidan by scheduling religious programs and commercial fairs to block democratic activities. He described the BJP–IPFT–Tipra Motha alliance as ‘directionless and panicked’ due to growing public discontent and accused the government of misusing public funds, with infrastructure facilities being used for commercial fairs rather than democratic events.

Emphasizing that the CITU rally was a genuine movement demanding fair recognition of labor, skill, and talent, Chaudhury accused the ruling coalition of surviving on false promises and black money, and warned of increasing corruption, fear-based governance, and suppression of democratic voices in Tripura.

He also drew parallels with national politics, suggesting that a BJP defeat in the upcoming Bihar assembly elections could signal the beginning of the party’s downfall at the national level. Urging people to strengthen the fight to protect democratic rights, Chaudhury pointed out rising crime, drug abuse, and moral degradation as evidence of administrative failure, and pledged to continue the statewide movement advocating for farmers and working people.”​

“Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Sunday said that the state government will issue the first batch of firearm licences to indigenous people living in ‘vulnerable and remote’ areas in February 2026. The decision gains significance as the state will go to assembly polls soon after the issuance of the first batch of firearm licences. Addressing a press conference after a cabinet meeting, Sarma said the authorities have received ‘a lot’ of applications from the indigenous people and are currently scrutinising them. ‘We have received a lot of applications for firearm licences. We are scrutinising the applications currently,’ he added.

A group of teachers objects to NEHU’s intention to move the EC meeting from Shillong.

Faculty members of North-Eastern Hill University (NEHU) have strongly opposed the decision to hold the university’s 193rd Executive Council (EC) meeting in New Delhi on November 14, describing it as a “wasteful and regressive move” that violates ministry directives and previous agreements. The NEHU Teachers’ Association (NEHUTA) criticized Vice-Chancellor Prof. P.S. Shukla, who has been absent from the Shillong campus for nearly a year amid protests and allegations of mismanagement, for attempting to preside over the meeting despite opposition and prior understandings with the Ministry of Education. The association also condemned the financial burden of holding the meeting outside the campus during austerity and cited a Ministry directive instructing central universities to conduct statutory meetings within their campuses for transparency. NEHUTA urged the administration not to squander limited resources and reaffirmed its commitment to safeguard faculty and university interests.​
