Indian media maintained its intense focus on Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar's unexpected resignation from July 22, with reports throughout the day dissecting his "shock exit" and linking it to Justice Varma's impeachment case, which the Supreme Court agreed to hear. By mid-morning, the Election Commission initiated preparations for the Vice-Presidential election, prompting extensive speculation on potential successors and revisiting controversies during Dhankhar's tenure. Simultaneously, a significant new development involved the bust of a large fake embassy operation in Ghaziabad, exposing fraudulent 'micronations'. A humanitarian concern also persisted, with UK families of Air India crash victims alleging incorrect remains, prompting the Indian government to defend its protocols. Parliamentary discussions were slated for "Op Sindoor" regarding US President Trump's past claims about an India-Pakistan ceasefire. India also resumed tourist visas for Chinese citizens after a five-year hiatus.
