One of the two US National Guard soldiers shot by a suspected Afghan immigrant has died of her injuries, US President Donald Trump said. The National Guard member Specialist Sarah Beckstrom was shot near the White House in Washington DC on Wednesday along with Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe. The alleged shooter, 29-year-old Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal, is now in custody. Lakanwal purportedly entered the US in 2021 and is now being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on “act of terrorism” charge.

Ahead of its scheduled briefing before the Joint Committee of Parliament on the simultaneous elections Bills on December 4, the 23rd Law Commission is learnt to have firmed up its view that the Bills do not disturb the basic structure of the Constitution, when it comes to federalism and the right of the voter. The commission’s view, it is learnt, is that the Bills, which will enable simultaneous elections to the Lok Sabha and State and Union Territory Assemblies, do not need ratification by states as they do not propose to make any changes to the subjects under Article 368 (2), clauses (a) to (e), relating to subjects that require ratification by states.

Observing that “self-styled” mechanisms “will not be effective” in regulating online content, the Supreme Court Thursday suggested that an autonomous body “free from influence” oversee social media platforms while ensuring protection of free speech. It also suggested using the Aadhaar number or income tax PAN to verify the age of the user. These suggestions were made by the bench of Chief Justice of India Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi while hearing pleas by YouTuber Ranveer Allahabadia and others challenging the FIRs against them over alleged obscene comments in Samay Raina’s India’s Got Latent show.
