India’s daily Covid numbers jumped by 12 per cent today as the country reported 47,092 new infections, the biggest single-day rise in two months. About 509 deaths were recorded during the past 24 hours, according to the Health Ministry

Kerala contributed 32,803 cases or nearly 70 per cent of new cases and a third of deaths. The total number of those affected in the state by the viral infection now stands at 40,90,036. The test positivity rate was reported at 18.76 and with 173 deaths, the number of fatalities increased to 20,961, a state government release said

With over 85 per cent Covid patients in the southern state isolated at home, the Health Ministry has stressed on a “smart and strategic lockdown” to curb the daily surge, sources told NDTV. Kerala has not been following the Centre’s advice while reporting the highest daily cases in the country, officials insisted, adding that neighbouring states are feeling the impact.

The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) on Thursday claimed that a leaked CBI report which purportedly gave a clean chit to former Maharashtra home minister Anil Deshmukh in a corruption case was genuine.

The Central agency has now claimed that the report was leaked after a bribe was paid and it has registered a criminal case in this regard, NCP leader and Maharashtra minority affairs minister Nawab Malik told reporters.

But the Central Bureau of Investigation is not stating that the report itself was fake, he said.

“To save its face, it is saying that the report had been managed,” Mr Malik alleged.

A study of almost 2,500 workers at a major Belgium hospital system found antibody levels among individuals who hadn’t been infected with the coronavirus before getting two doses of the Moderna vaccine averaged 2,881 units per milliliter, compared with 1,108 units/mL in an equivalent group who got two jabs of the Pfizer shot.

The results, published Monday in a letter to the Journal of the American Medical Association, suggested the differences might be explained by the:

– higher amount of active ingredient in the Moderna vaccine — 100 micrograms, versus 30 micrograms in Pfizer-BioNTech

From smart casuals to couture, she always looks fierce and bold; probably there’s no outfit that Deepika cannot slay in. Recently, the actress has been seen in latex and leather – dressed up to impress and kill, nothing else. Her recent transition of wardrobe towards autumn trends while blending in with the statement summer looks, Deepika seamlessly plays between the two seasonal trends with her own spunk.

She surely loves to delve into some rock chic looks – dressed in a statement Versace bralette top with artsy prints and delicate lace detailing at the hemline and strap of Rs 84K, she has yet again impressed the fashion police. She accented the look ever more with high-waist black, elasticated leather trousers from Alexander McQueen of Rs 3lacs and towering high metallic pumps by YSL of Rs 52K. With kohl-rimmed eyes, the actress pulled the look together with her hair tied in a low-bun. Well, when it comes to Deepika Padukone, the actress makes sure that she oozes oomph at every step she takes!

A civil engineer, who was jobless for the last few months, allegedly committed suicide by consuming poison after slitting the throats of his teenage son and daughter with a tile cutter at their flat in a multistoried building in Madhya Pradesh’s Bhopal, police said. While his 16-year-old son died of his injuries, 14-year-old daughter’s condition is said to be critical, they said.

His wife had also consumed poison with the man but survived.

The incident occurred during the intervening night of Friday and Saturday in Bhopal’s Misrod area, they said.

Both the man (55) and his wife were in acute depression, according to a primary probe based on the latter’s statements. Her statements also revealed that the couple had planned the entire episode nearly two to three days ago.

Public intellectuals have “a duty to expose the lies of the State”, Supreme Court Justice DY Chandrachud said Saturday morning, stressing that in a democratic country it is important to hold governments responsible and guard against falsehoods, false narratives and fake news.

Delivering the Justice MC Chagla Memorial Lecture, Justice Chandrachud also cautioned against an over-reliance on the government to provide social, political, economic, cultural and, in the current context, medical truths; he highlighted manipulation of COVID-19 data as an example.

“One cannot rely only on the State for truth. Totalitarian governments are known for their constant reliance on falsehoods to consolidate power… we see there is an increasing trend among countries to manipulate COVID-19 data,” Justice Chandrachud said.
