"Intent to kill Hindus in Calcutta": Supreme Court stayed a Delhi High Court directive granting premature release to Rashid Khan, the 77-year-old mastermind behind the 1993 Bowbazar blast in Kolkata that tragically killed 69 people

On the night of June 23, 2026, as the monsoon downpour lashed the western suburbs of Mumbai, Fast Local Train No. 90663 hurtled northwards. Inside the first-class compartment—usually a sanctuary of relative comfort purchased at a premium—the ambient noise of clattering tracks was pierced by a sharp, sudden argument. The trigger was deceptively trivial: whether the carriage door should be kept closed to block the lashing rain, or left open for ventilation.

The red dust of Chhattisgarh’s Baloda Bazar-Bhatapara district has long settled over the freshly turned earth of the Kharve village cemetery, but the silence that remains is no longer peaceful. It is a silence suspended in disbelief. For four months, a series of seemingly unrelated deaths systematically depleted this agrarian community of its middle-aged men.
