Description: First, we speak to The Indian Express’ Vineet Bhalla about a petition before the Supreme Court of India that highlights a legal gap, leaving acid ingestion survivors outside the scope of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act. 

Next, we turn to Bihar, where Nitish Kumar has moved to the Rajya Sabha, paving the way for a new Chief Minister after nearly two decades. The Indian Express’ Deputy Editor Liz Mathew explains what this transition means for the BJP, JDU, and the state’s political balance. (09:15)

And in the end, we look at the death of an Indian student in Canada. Gurkirat Singh Manocha from Ujjain was allegedly assaulted and run over in Fort St. John, with authorities now investigating the incident. (19:35)
