The day was dominated by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio's visit to India. After arriving in Kolkata and visiting Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity in the morning, he flew to Delhi for a meeting with PM Modi at Sewa Teerth. Rubio extended Trump's invitation for Modi to visit the White House, discussed trade, defence, and energy ties, and accused Iran of illegally controlling the Hormuz Strait. The Twisha Sharma death case continued to develop: the Supreme Court took suo motu cognisance, ordering a hearing on May 25, while her husband was produced in court and sent to 7-day police custody. Fuel prices saw a third hike in 10 days, with petrol up 87 paise and diesel 91 paise. US-Iran tensions remained high, with reports of Trump reviewing military options and Netanyahu urging a strike. A China coal mine blast killed 90, and PM Modi expressed condolences to Xi Jinping.
