22 May 2025: SC Halts ED Probe, Kishtwar Terror Encounter, COVID-19 Surge

The Supreme Court has halted the Enforcement Directorate’s probe into Tamil Nadu’s TASMAC, calling the agency’s actions a violation of the federal structure. In Jammu and Kashmir’s Kishtwar district, two terrorists were killed and one soldier lost his life during ‘Operation Trashi’. In Washington, D.C., two Israeli embassy staff were shot at a Jewish event, with the suspect reportedly shouting anti-Israel slogans; he is now in custody. Meanwhile, India is witnessing a slow but steady rise in COVID-19 cases, with Kerala reporting the highest numbers so far this month. And in Delhi-NCR, a powerful thunderstorm claimed five lives, caused major flight disruptions, metro delays, power outages, and traffic snarls. Produced by Prateek Lidhoo Sound mix by Rohan Bharti
