China on Thursday reported 254 fatalities from the coronavirus outbreak the highest in a single day and double than the previous record high taking the death toll to 1,367, as authorities adopted a new diagnosis method amid concerns that the crisis is nowhere near slowing down contrary to official projections. Jiang, 61, is the highest-ranking political casualty so far in the virus outbreak.

The legendary Sunil Gavaskar on Saturday expressed confidence that India will overcome the current "turmoil" caused by nationwide students' protests just like it had dealt with several critical situations in the past. In the past few weeks, there had been multiple protests, first at the Jamia Milia University against the CAA and then due to violence by a masked mob at JNU.

Ten people, many of whom have criminal backgrounds, have been arrested in connection with Sunday's violent clashes involving JMI students and Delhi Police. Although no students have been arrested so far, source said the cops had not yet given them a clean chit. Those arrested are from the Jamia and Okhla areas both of which border the university of the national capital, police added.
