This is the Catch Up on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Ichha Sharma
Today is the 14th of August and here are the headlines.

In her first statement after fleeing Bangladesh, ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina called for an investigation into the "killings and vandalism" in the country. The statement, issued on X by her son, came hours after a court ordered a probe into her alleged role in the death of a grocery shop owner during recent agitation. Meanwhile, as the Hindu minority in Bangladesh faces increasing attacks, Chief Advisor Muhammad Yunus, head of the interim government, reached out to community leaders, promising “justice” and “equal rights” for all.
An Army captain was killed today in an exchange of fire with militants in the Doda district near the famous tourist hill resort of Patnitop in Jammu and Kashmir. The Indian Army's 16 Corps confirmed on X that Captain Deepak Singh succumbed to his injuries after the encounter.  According to sources, Captain Singh was leading the Army party from the front when he suffered gunshot injuries. The security forces have seized an M4 rifle and four bags from the encounter site.

The Supreme Court today declined to grant interim bail to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today in the case registered against him by the Central Bureau of Investigation related to the alleged Delhi excise policy scam. A bench of Justices Surya Kant and Ujjal Bhuyan issued notice to the CBI on Kejriwal’s petition seeking bail in the case and another challenging his arrest by the central agency. The Supreme Court will hear the matter next on the 23rd of August.

Today, the Silchar Medical College and Hospital in Assam withdrew an advisory that instructed women to “be composed emotionally” while on duty and to avoid “unnecessary attention of unscrupulous people” following widespread criticism. The institute’s Junior Doctors Association had termed the advisory “outrageous”. The notice was issued in the wake of the rape and murder of a junior woman doctor at a Kolkata hospital.

Thailand’s Constitutional Court dismissed Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin today for appointing to his cabinet a former lawyer who served jail time, raising the spectre for more political upheaval and a reset of the governing alliance. Srettha, a real estate tycoon, becomes the fourth Thai premier in 16 years to be removed by verdicts by the same court after it ruled he violated the constitution by appointing a minister who did not meet ethical standards.
