The day was dominated by the discovery of a Hindu family of four found dead in their locked home in Bangladesh, with multiple outlets reporting chilling details of the killers bathing and eating after the murders. The story evolved throughout the day, with confessions revealing the attackers stayed for seven hours. Concurrently, the US-Canada trade war escalated as Canada announced retaliatory tariffs, and Trump claimed the Strait of Hormuz as US territory, drawing Iranian threats. Domestically, a pregnant defence ministry officer's death in Delhi sparked dowry abuse allegations, and a Ganpati idol collapse in Mumbai killed two. The day also saw the first 100% indigenous AK-203 rifle test-fired, and NSA Doval's planned visit to China for border talks.
