This development follows India's remarkable success in Operation Sindoor, where precision airstrikes reportedly eliminated nearly 100 terror operatives at major bases in Pakistan.
In the course of the investigation, Rehman revealed details leading to the detention of another individual.
Operation Sindoor was India's decisive military response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. Launched on May 7, Operation Sindoor led to the death of over 100 terrorists affiliated with terror outfits like the Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba, and Hizbul Mujahideen.
After the attack, Pakistan retaliated with cross-border shelling across the Line of Control and Jammu and Kashmir as well as attempted drone attacks along the border regions, following which India launched a coordinated attack and damaged radar infrastructure, communication centres, and airfields across 11 airbases in Pakistan.
After this, on May 10, an understanding of the cessation of hostilities between India and Pakistan was announced.

Bihar govt not being run by Nitish but someone else; education system has collapsed: Kanhaiya Kumar
Kumar, in-charge of the National Students' Union of India (NSUI), told reporters, 'A strange incident has come to light from Bihar, where the principals of some colleges (of Patna University) were appointed through a lottery, after which men were made principals even in women's colleges… the vice chancellor said the recommendations come from big people, so we had to conduct a lottery.' He alleged that the education system in Bihar is running arbitrarily and the 'cut-commission system' is dominant. He alleged that the 'double engine' in Bihar has completely broken down and described the current situation in the state with the Hindi proverb 'Andher Nagri Chaupat Raja…'. New Delhi, Jul 15 (PTI) Congress leader Kanhaiya Kumar on Tuesday slammed the NDA dispensation in Bihar over the prevailing education system as well as the law and order situation in the state, claiming that the government is not being run by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar but someone else. 'If you see the number of students in any college, you will know the situation. If there is a college with four rooms, then thousands of students have been registered. It means pay money and get a degree,' Kumar said at a press conference at the Congress' Indira Bhawan headquarters. 'We demand that the Bihar government take immediate steps in view of the poor condition of education in Bihar. Otherwise, the youth are ready to change this government,' he said. Referring to the recent incidents of crime in Bihar, he said there is no city in the state where bullets are not being fired. 'Criminals are committing crimes openly, and the Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar (Samrat Chaudhary) shamelessly says that organised crime has ended. The crime situation in Bihar shows that these 'double engines' are working in opposite directions,' he said. 'This is not Nitish Kumar's way of running the government. This clearly shows that not Nitish Kumar but someone else is running the government,' Kumar claimed. 'I want to tell the people of Bihar, snatch the chair of the government that does not care about you,' he said. PTI ASK RHL This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.

The plot was mutated in favour of Skylight the next day and the title of the land was reportedly transferred to Vadra within 24 hours. It is alleged that a month later, the Haryana government, then headed by Hooda, gave Skylight Hospitality permission to develop a housing project on most of the land. This led to a sudden increase in land value. In June 2008, DLF agreed to buy the plot for ₹58 crore that allegedly resulted in windfall gains for Vadra.

Mock drills in Delhi on Thursday, Friday to assess emergency preparedness
Security agencies, including the Delhi Police, will conduct mock terror attack drills across more than 10 locations in the national capital on Thursday and Friday, officials said, as quoted by PTI. The two-day exercise is designed to test emergency response systems and evaluate coordination between multiple agencies in the event of an attack or terrorist strike. According to an official, the purpose of the drill is 'to validate the preparedness and coordination of various stakeholders'. Members of the public have been advised to stay calm, avoid panic, and not to believe or spread any rumours during the exercise. Authorities have also urged citizens to cooperate fully as drills are carried out. The drills will be monitored to assess operational effectiveness and identify areas that require improvement. It follows similar nationwide exercises held in May to evaluate preparedness for scenarios such as war, missile strikes, and aerial attacks. They were organised hours before India's 'Operation Sindoor', which targeted nine terror-linked sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir in response to the April 22 Pahalgam attack. What to expect during the drill? Silent mobilisation of volunteers and civil defence wardens Simulated aerial threats involving enemy drones and aircraft Use of air raid sirens and emergency communication systems Implementation of blackout protocols near key infrastructure points Evacuation and mass casualty response exercises, including the movement of civilians from a mock drone strike area Blood donation drives to support emergency medical requirements Simulated military scenarios, such as the withdrawal and redeployment of Border Wing Home Guards in coordination with Indian defence forces What should you do during the drill?
