Top News Headlines of January 12, 2026 | The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) launched a Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV C62) rocket to place a Earth observation satellite (EOS) along with 14 co-passenger satellites into orbit. This marks the space agency’s first mission of 2026. In its 64th launch of the PSLV, the rocket carries Earth observation satellite, named Anvesha (EOS-N1), into a polar sun-synchronised orbit at least a hundred kilometres above the Earth’s surface.

The Bengaluru police said Sunday they have arrested an 18-year-old man for allegedly murdering a woman software engineer whose death earlier this month was thought to have resulted from a fire in an apartment in the city. The police said they arrested the accused, who is a native of Virajpet Town in Kodagu district, on Saturday. He is a neighbour of the deceased in Bengaluru, and lives with his single mother.
