The day began with the aftermath of Jharkhand's exam cancellation, as students ended their hunger strike but continued to demand a CBI probe. Attention then shifted to the BJP's organizational reshuffle, with Vinod Tawde appointed as UP in-charge and analyses of Amit Malviya's exit. The Supreme Court rejected a plea to replace hanging with lethal injection, and ordered Imran Khan's transfer to a hospital. In the afternoon, the arrest of former Delhi minister Satyendar Jain in a Delhi Jal Board corruption case dominated headlines, with AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal calling it a 'fake' case and attacking the BJP. Other stories included Trump's praise for India's voter ID system and his declaration of the Strait of Hormuz as 'new US territory'.
