Indian media prominently featured judicial interventions throughout the day. The Supreme Court intensified its scrutiny of the Election Commission, actively questioning alleged irregularities in Bihar's voter lists, including reports of living individuals declared deceased and the validity of Aadhaar as citizenship proof. This continued the previous days' focus on electoral integrity and the "vote chori" campaign. Concurrently, the Lok Sabha officially moved forward with the impeachment process against Justice Varma, forming a three-member inquiry panel to investigate "cash row" allegations. Another prominent judicial directive concerned stray dogs, sparking widespread debate on implementation and shelter challenges. Geopolitical developments included continued diplomatic tensions with Pakistan, marked by threats to India's economic assets, and a significant report signaling the imminent resumption of direct flights between India and China, ending a long suspension.
