This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain.
Today is the 5th of June and here are the headlines.

1. Karnataka HC Seeks Report on RCB Victory Parade Stampede
The Karnataka High Court has directed the state government to submit a detailed report on the tragic stampede at Bengaluru’s Chinnaswamy Stadium during RCB’s IPL victory parade, which killed 11 and injured 33. The court seeks clarity on causes, preventability, and future safeguards. CM Siddaramaiah ordered a magisterial probe led by Bengaluru Urban Deputy Commissioner. Overcrowding—2–3 lakh attendees in a stadium built for 35,000—caused chaos. Compensation of ₹10 lakh and free treatment was announced.

2. Rafale Jet Fuselages to Be Made in India by Tata
In a significant move for India's defence sector, Tata Advanced Systems will produce Rafale fighter jet fuselages in Hyderabad under a new deal with France’s Dassault Aviation. This marks the first time Rafale components will be manufactured outside France. The Hyderabad plant will build key sections including front, central, and rear fuselages. Production will start by FY 2027-28, with capacity to deliver two fuselages per month. The facility will serve both Indian and international markets.

3. Mahua Moitra Marries Former BJD MP Pinaki Misra
TMC MP Mahua Moitra, known for her strong speeches in Parliament, has married Supreme Court lawyer and former BJD MP Pinaki Misra. The couple tied the knot in a quiet ceremony in Berlin, Germany, on May 30. Moitra confirmed the marriage to The Indian Express. A photograph of the newlyweds at Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate has surfaced and was published by The Telegraph, drawing attention to their low-profile union amid Moitra’s high-profile political life.

4. Trump Reinstates Controversial Travel Ban on 12 Nations
US President Donald Trump has reinstated a sweeping travel ban impacting citizens from 12 countries, including Iran, Yemen, and Somalia, while tightening restrictions on seven others. Effective from Monday, the rollout includes a short grace period to avoid past chaos. The updated ban builds on a version upheld by the US Supreme Court. Additional curbs now apply to travellers from countries like Cuba, Laos, and Venezuela. Trump cited national security as the key reason for the move.

5. Trump Suspends Harvard Exchange Visas in Escalating Dispute
President Donald Trump has signed a proclamation suspending foreign nationals enrolled in exchange programs at Harvard University, escalating tensions between the White House and the Ivy League institution. The directive also asks the State Department to consider revoking visas of some current international students. Harvard alleges political retaliation after it resisted federal pressure to alter its governance and curriculum. The suspension is part of Trump’s broader push to regulate academic institutions seen as ideologically opposed.

That's all for today. This was the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express.
