Many recruitment exams, such as the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) and SBI Bank PO, require students to have a broad understanding of global events, government policies, social challenges, and scientific breakthroughs. So, if you want to stay up-to-date for your next recruiting exam, we have got you covered. Here’s a rundown of the most important news stories of the week:
Delhi Schools Hoax Bomb Threat:
Delhi Police’s anti-terror unit, which is investigating the bomb threat email sent to over 130 schools in the Delhi-NCR region, has approached Interpol for information on the sender’s IP address obtained from Russian authorities. The Delhi Police, through the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), contacted the international organisation that promotes global police cooperation and crime control. The special cell’s counterintelligence unit suspected that the emails were sent via the dark web. They also stated that the schools’ emails were most likely obtained via the dark web.
Covishield Vaccine Side Effects:
A petition was filed on May 1 in the Supreme Court requesting that a medical expert panel be formed under the supervision of a retired SC judge to investigate any potential side effects and risk factors associated with the Covishield vaccination. It claimed that AstraZeneca, a UK-based pharmaceutical company, has stated that its COVID-19 vaccine, Covishield, which was manufactured under licence in India, could induce low platelet counts and blood clot formation in “very rare” situations. Advocate Vishal Tiwari filed the case, which also sought a direction from the Centre to compensate people who are seriously crippled or have died as a result of any negative effects of the vaccination delivered to them during Covid.
Arvind Kejriwal On Non-Appearance Before ED:
On April 29, the Supreme Court questioned Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s refusal to appear before the ED despite repeated summonses for statement recording. The apex court further asked if he could challenge his arrest in a money laundering case related to the excise policy scam based on the failure to record his version. Kejriwal has been in Tihar jail under judicial custody since his arrest on March 21. A bench of justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta questioned senior attorney Abhishek Singhvi, who represented Kejriwal, over why the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader did not file a bail application before the trial court.
India Summons Canadian Diplomat Over ‘Khalistan’ Slogans:
India called the Canadian Deputy High Commissioner on April 29 and expressed its strong displeasure after separatist sentiments were chanted during a Prime Minister Justin Trudeau event in Toronto. Pro-Khalistan shouts filled the air during a Khalsa procession on April 28, where Trudeau addressed the crowd in honour of Khalsa Day. The event also included opposition leader Pierre Poilievre and Jagmeet Singh of the New Democratic Party (NDP). In the MEA statement, India voiced serious worry about such activities, underscoring Canada’s political space for separatism and extremism.
HD Revanna’s Arrest:
JDS leader and Prajwal’s father, HD Revanna, was arrested by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) on Saturday for the alleged sexual assault of several women. A case of kidnapping was registered against him at KR Nagar police station in Bengaluru.

Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge said that he will face action as per the law. “SIT has already taken action. As per the law, arrests will take place, and bail too. Justice for victims is important, and those who commit such acts should be taught a lesson. There are strict laws,” Kharge said.
