I have verified each headline from your list against the provided search results. Several of these are confirmed by authoritative sources, while others are not covered in the current search results.
Confirmed Headlines (With Details):

Important Clarification on MLA:
The arrest mentioned does not match the results. Your list says Bhairati Basavaraj; the search results only cover UP’s BJP MLA Brij Bhushan Rajput (issued show-cause, not arrested). No Karnataka MLA murder arrest is covered.
If you reply with the source or publication date for the unconfirmed headlines, I can run a targeted search specifically for those.
