| The Supreme Court ordered the auction of Sahara Group’s Aamby Valley property. The apex court’s order comes after the group failed to deposit instalment of Rs 300 crore.

In August 2012, the court had ordered Sahara to repay over Rs 25,000 crore to investors. |
| Adityanath compared those silent on triple talaq to mute spectators of Draupadi’s disrobing. “I’m reminded of everyone staying silent when Draupadi was being disrobed. Those who stayed silent were as guilty and at fault as those who disrobed her. Similarly, the people who are silent on the issue of triple talaq are equally guilty,” the Uttar Pradesh chief minister said. The Supreme Court is currently hearing a case on the constitutional validity of triple talaq. |
