A 13-day-old CCTV video has surfaced from Karnataka's Mandya district, showing a heated confrontation between BJP MLA B Suresh Gowda's daughter Aishwarya and woman PSI Savitha B Patil at the Aarti Ukkada temple in Srirangapatna. The footage appears to show Aishwarya slapping the police officer, who then appears to strike back. People at the spot subsequently intervene and separate the two. The confrontation reportedly began during Bhima Amavasya celebrations on August 12, after Aishwarya was allegedly asked to wait before entering the temple's sanctum because of the heavy crowd.  

A fresh political showdown erupts in Rajasthan after the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) gives the state government a 48-hour ultimatum following an alleged attack on its volunteers during a government school inspection in Jaipur district. CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke has threatened to travel to Jaipur and stage a sit-in if the alleged attackers are not arrested and repair work at the school does not begin. The CJP is also demanding the resignation of Rajasthan Education Minister Madan Dilawar and withdrawal of the government order at the centre of the dispute.
