| AAP MLA Saurabh Bhardwaj used ‘secret code’ to ‘tamper’ EVM inside Delhi assembly today. Bhardwaj took to the floor with a dummy EVM and explained the operating mechanism, before displaying how the device can be ‘hacked’ with a ‘secret code’ so as to manipulate the votes. Bhardwaj said his demonstration was meant to show that “any machine can be rigged or hacked.” The Election Commission later issued a statement saying the machine used by AAP was only a prototype and not an ECI EVM. |

| The Supreme Court has sentenced Justice C S Karnan to six months in jail for contempt of court.

| Holding Vijay Mallya guilty of contempt, the Supreme Court has asked him to appear before it on July 10. The court passed the order on a contempt plea filed by a consortium of banks led by the SBI, which sought action against Mallya for allegedly diverting $40 million to his children’s accounts in foreign banks in violation of the court order. Mallya’s counsel, however, strongly opposed any action against him and alleged that the businessman was being unnecessarily targetted despite attaching properties worth more than Rs 10,000 crore. |
| Three of Pakistan’s neighbours have accused it of cross-border terrorism. Iran has echoed the charge frequently levelled by Afghanistan and India, with its top military official warning Pakistan of reprisals for sheltering Sunni militias attacking targets in Iran. Successive Afghan regimes have also held Pakistan responsible for the resurgence of Taliban which has attacked development projects, kidnapped foreign nationals and sought to impose hardline Islam in its territory. |
