The day began with the aftermath of the Satya Niketan collapse, as MCD started demolishing adjacent weak buildings and the Delhi HC ordered citywide PG inspections. By mid-morning, PM Modi inaugurated projects in Vadodara, mocking critics as 'naraz fufa ji', and the upcoming BRICS summit with Putin's visit gained attention. The dominant story emerged around noon: two men, including a fake PMO official with a gun, were detained at the venue of PM Modi's Mumbai event, raising security concerns. The incident was covered extensively across outlets, with details about the accused's claims of being duped. Other stories included the UK-Israel dispute, the suicide of former Delhi Chief Secretary Rakesh Mehta, and the Eiffel Tower controversy involving a Hindu group.
