Candidates to get elected to the upper house unopposed.
31
00:02:00.230 --> 00:02:03.870
The SP's last-minute decision was driven by a combination of
32
00:02:03.930 --> 00:02:08.319
factors involved in its attempts to cobble together the numbers.
33
00:02:07.939 --> 00:02:09.639

00:02:18.250 --> 00:02:21.689

Connection with the Bulaibai auction app case.
38
00:02:29.650 --> 00:02:32.620
While discharging the student, the court observed that there is
39
00:02:32.699 --> 00:02:35.099
no evidence that he was involved in the creation of
40
00:02:35.139 --> 00:02:39.030
the Bulaibai app. or shared photographs of the women. Willibai
41
00:02:39.090 --> 00:02:42.620
was allegedly a mock auction app made to upload photos
42
00:02:42.819 --> 00:02:47.219
of Muslim women with objectionable comments. Vishal Jha, who was
43
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:50.060
then an engineering student at a Bengaluru institute, was the
44
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:52.060
first person to be arrested in the case by the
45
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:55.710
Mumbai police. It is, however, not known if Jha is
46
00:02:55.750 --> 00:02:58.270
still a student. Seeking to be cleared in the case,
47
00:02:58.490 --> 00:03:00.909
Jha's lawyer said that the only allegation against him in
48
00:03:00.930 --> 00:03:03.729
the charge sheet is that he had shared and followed
49
00:03:03.770 --> 00:03:04.069
the app.
50
00:03:04.370 --> 00:03:07.090
On this, the court said, this in itself is not
51
00:03:07.129 --> 00:03:07.620
an offence.
52
00:03:12.099 --> 00:03:14.560
And in the end, in news making global headlines, a
53
00:03:14.580 --> 00:03:17.919

58
00:03:34.569 --> 00:03:38.689
the grenade. Pasthakalesh Prefect said an investigation had been opened
59
00:03:39.069 --> 00:03:42.289
but declined to comment on the exact circumstances of the incident.
60
00:03:42.349 --> 00:03:46.430
He said between 200 and 250 demonstrators had been throwing
61
00:03:46.569 --> 00:03:53.159
objects at the police. With that, this was all for today.
