Bengaluru daycare abuse case, West Bengal protests dominate Indian news
Multiple Indian news outlets covered two distinct events: the arrest of a whistleblower in a Bengaluru daycare abuse case and protests in West Bengal. In Bengaluru, police defended the arrest of a whistleblower, stating she was an "equal party" to the abuse. Meanwhile, in West Bengal, a court cleared a Trinamool rally protesting alleged brutality, while Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee accused police of acting like "BJP cadres" and hindering protests.
