Photographs from a January 2026 US Justice Department release show Hardeep Singh Puri seated with Jeffrey Epstein, prompting questions about his earlier delegation account. His office says they were professional meetings; the images alone establish neither a private meeting nor criminal wrongdoing.

No comments on Hardeep Singh Puri–Epstein photos revive questions over his account of delegation meetings
Families near Meta’s Georgia data centre say their wells became clogged with sediment and have sued, while Meta disputes responsibility. With over half of India’s data centres in water-stressed regions, the case exposes why expansion needs local water checks, public disclosure and protection for nearby residents.

Bellingcat traced $24.4 million in donor-advised grants within $117.8 million received by Ekal USA and Sewa USA in 2020–24. The charities’ links to RSS-associated organisations raise transparency questions, but the findings do not show that donors funded the RSS itself.

A reel shows an American officer welcoming children into his patrol car. For many in India, the contrast raises a harder question: why can approaching police feel risky rather than reassuring? Research on political pressure, corruption, police violence and reform failures shows why public confidence depends on fairness and accountability, not friendly gestures alone.
An Instagram reel shows Ashneer Grover criticising new UPI charges. Official guidance confirms selective 0.4% merchant MDR from 15 October 2026, while U.S. records also document longstanding concerns about India’s payment policies and ongoing digital-trade negotiations; that makes U.S. pressure relevant context, but available evidence does not establish that Washington caused the MDR change or…

The Technical Dost reel is right that Mahatma Gandhi died before Jeffrey Epstein was born, but that does not rule out Gandhi being mentioned in later documents.

Released records show Anil Ambani seeking Jeffrey Epstein’s help to reach Trump-world figures in 2017 and Epstein trying to broker Steve Bannon access after Modi’s 2019 re-election.

Nitin Gadkari repeatedly said India’s road infrastructure would be like America’s before December 2024. Government data show major National Highway expansion by the deadline, but no metric was ever defined for “America-like” equivalence, while road-safety data remained severe; the evidence therefore supports substantial progress, not a clean fulfilled-or-failed verdict on the comparison.

Narendra Modi’s 2014 call for a strong, unafraid media is authentic, and the 2026 Oslo clip genuinely shows a journalist calling for questions as he left. The wider record is more significant: he has taken questions at rare joint press conferences abroad, including in 2023 and 2025, but Reuters reported that he had held no…
