This is the Catch Up on 3 Things for the Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain.
It’s the 9th of January and here are the headlines.

A 39-year-old CEO of a Bengaluru-based AI startup was arrested last night for allegedly murdering her four-year-old son at a service apartment in Goa. Police said the accused, Suchana Seth, was caught in Karnataka while trying to flee in a cab with her son’s body stuffed in a bag. Though the exact motive for the murder is yet to be established, during preliminary interrogation the accused woman mentioned ‘estranged relationship’ with her husband as one of the reasons.

While dense fog and cold wave warnings have been issued in parts of northern India, the Met Department said that parts of the south will continue to be lashed by heavy rains today. The weather agency has issued ‘Cold Day’ to ‘Severe Cold Day’ warnings today for parts of Delhi, Punjab and Rajasthan. Moreover, ‘Cold Day’ warnings in Rajasthan have been extended till 10th of January. The desert state will also witness ‘Cold Wave’ conditions till 13th of January.

Marking a ‘historic’ visit to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, a delegation led by Union Minister for Women and Child Development and Minority Affairs Smriti Zubin Irani and Minister of State for External Affairs and Parliamentary Affairs, Shri V. Muraleedharan visited the city of Madinah. Two days earlier, India and Saudi Arabia signed a bilateral agreement under which New Delhi has been allocated a quota of 1,75,025 pilgrims for this year’s annual Haj pilgrimage.

With the country’s first centrally-funded cow sanctuary ready to be opened in Uttar Pradesh by the end of January, Union minister Sanjeev Balyan has embarked on a new mission — seeking bhusa (fodder) donation from across villages. Speaking to The Indian Express, he said the sanctuary, built over an area of 50 acres, can shelter up to 5,000 stray cattle. Stray cattle have become a big problem in Uttar Pradesh, as they damage crops and attack people.

The Maldives Association of Tourism Industry has condemned the derogatory social media posts made by three now-suspended Maldivian ministers against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and India. In a statement, the Association called India as one of Maldives’ "closest allies" and the "first responder" in times of any crisis in the island nation.
