The Delhi Police on Monday clarified that the animal seen during the live broadcast of the oath-taking ceremony was merely a common house cat, dispelling initial concerns that it might have been a wild animal. This clarification came a day after Narendra Modi was sworn in for his third consecutive term as the Prime Minister of India. The ceremony, held at the Rashtrapati Bhavan, also saw the swearing-in of 71 ministers who will serve alongside him in the new administration.
