This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain.
Today is the 22nd of January and here are the headlines.

At least 11 passengers were killed and 11 injured on Wednesday after they jumped off the Pushpak Express in panic following rumors of a fire onboard. The passengers were run over by the Karnataka Express traveling on an adjacent track in Jalgaon, Maharashtra. Around 30-35 people are suspected to have jumped. Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis expressed deep grief, paying tribute to the victims. Rescue operations were launched with ambulances and railway vans deployed at the scene.

Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan, who was discharged from the hospital after a stabbing attack, has increased his security by hiring actor Ronit Roy’s firm. Roy was seen accompanying Khan after his release from Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai. Khan was attacked last Thursday at his Bandra residence by a Bangladeshi national, who entered the property by scaling the complex wall while the guards slept. The police reconstructed the crime scene to reveal details of the attack.

Ahead of the Delhi Assembly elections, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) released its manifesto with a focus on middle-class welfare. Party chief Arvind Kejriwal highlighted seven demands to be included in the Union Budget, urging transformative reforms in education, healthcare, and senior citizen welfare. Kejriwal emphasized the need to prioritize the middle class, proposing changes to taxation and policies that would improve quality of life for Delhi's working families and address their pressing concerns.

The Supreme Court issued a split verdict on a plea by former AAP councillor and Northeast Delhi riots accused Tahir Hussain, seeking interim bail to campaign for Delhi Assembly elections. Hussain, who is contesting as an AIMIM candidate, requested bail for election purposes. Justices Pankaj Mithal and Ahsanuddin Amanullah gave differing opinions; Justice Mithal rejected the plea, while Justice Amanullah favored granting bail, leaving the final decision uncertain.

US President Donald Trump, shortly after assuming office, signed an executive order pardoning all those convicted for involvement in the January 6 Capitol riots. Hundreds of rioters, many accused of violent crimes, were released from prison with charges dropped. Speaking at the White House, Trump condemned the conditions of imprisonment, calling them inhumane. While the pardons brought relief to the rioters, they did not receive monetary compensation for their time served.
