No ink signature, no official seal: Why India’s Law Ministry refused to deliver US SEC summons to Adani

Exclusive: Investigation into Cambodia job scam points to a Pakistan link | India News - The Indian Express

An investigation by central agencies has revealed a Pakistani link in the Cambodia job scam that duped over 5,000 Indians with fake employment offers, forcing them into cyber crime activities. The scam was uncovered in 2024, with victims reporting recruitment by Pakistani agents. Forensic analysis traced IP addresses to servers and handlers in Pakistan, indicating a coordinated network targeting vulnerable job-seekers from various Indian states. The issue was discussed at the 'Anti-Terrorism Conference-2025' in December, highlighting the need for a wider net by agencies like the CBI and NIA. The central agencies have registered the IP addresses in the 'suspect registry', which has helped freeze accounts and save Rs 7,980 crore from fraudulent transactions. The scam is part of a larger trend of cyber scams targeting Indians, mainly run by Chinese operators from high-security compounds in Southeast Asia.

While proponents see it as a pragmatic, US-led path to stability, critics question its legitimacy and Palestinian representation.

India’s turbulent involvement in Iran’s Chabahar port all but collapses

India has completed its financial commitment to the Chabahar port in Iran, transferring $120 million before the US reinstated sanctions on the port. The US sanctions have forced India to withdraw from the port, and the state-owned entity tasked with developing and operating the port has resigned en masse. The strategic importance of the port lies in its location, providing India with a sea-land access route into Afghanistan and Central Asia through Iran’s eastern borders.
