Driver Fired for Violations After Giving Water to Cheetahs

A driver at Madhya Pradesh's Kuno National Park has been dismissed after a viral video showed him offering water to a cheetah named Jwala and her four cubs, violating official guidelines. The incident raised concerns as it disregarded instructions meant to prevent human-cheetah conflicts. Jwala, part of a translocation initiative under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Project Cheetah, approached the driver when he called her, leading to the cubs following suit. Additional Principal Chief Conservator of Forests, Uttam Kumar Sharma, stated that the monitoring team is trained to keep a safe distance from the cheetahs, and only authorized personnel should interact closely with them. Currently, the park hosts 26 cheetahs, including 14 cubs born in India, following the translocation of eight Namibian cheetahs in September 2022 and 12 from South Africa in February 2023. sources

Sensex Soars 1,500 Points; Trump's Tariff Relief Lifts Autos

Indian equities surged over 2% this morning, mirroring gains across Asia, as US President Donald Trump hinted at potential relief from recently imposed tariffs on the automobile sector. The Bombay Stock Exchange's Sensex opened more than 1,500 points higher, while the Nifty index reclaimed the 23,000 mark, driven by a notable rise in automobile stocks. Despite this rally, experts caution that volatility may persist in global markets. The Indian rupee strengthened by 39 paise to 85.71 against the US dollar, aided by a weaker US currency index, even amid foreign capital outflows. Trump’s earlier imposition of a 25% tariff on auto imports sparked investor concern, but his recent comments about being "very flexible" with trade policies prompted heavy buying in the markets. Nevertheless, uncertainty remains due to new taxes on technology and pharmaceuticals, which have tempered the positive sentiment surrounding the auto sector. sources

Union Minister Confident Supreme Court Will Uphold Waqf Act

Minority Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju expressed confidence that the Supreme Court would refrain from interfering in legislative matters regarding the amended Waqf law, which faces legal challenges from various individuals and organizations. Speaking to NDTV, Rijiju questioned West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's moral authority to refuse implementation of the law, suggesting it undermines her commitment to the Constitution. The Supreme Court is set to hear petitions asserting that the amended law violates fundamental rights, including equality and religious freedom. The BJP insists that state governments cannot bypass central laws, emphasizing the clear delineation of powers established by constitutional amendments. The amended law, which includes controversial provisions like mandating non-Muslim representation on Waqf boards, aims to address irregularities in Waqf property management and ensure benefits reach economically deprived Muslim sections. The BJP claims broad public support for the bill, asserting it focuses on property management rather than religious issues. sources

Punjab National Bank Scam: Choksi and Modi's Crores Theft

Mehul Choksi, a fugitive diamantaire, was arrested in Belgium on Saturday, seven years after fleeing India amid a massive Rs 14,000 crore scam involving Punjab National Bank (PNB). The Belgian Justice Department confirmed his detention, following India's extradition request. The scandal, revealed in January 2018, was orchestrated by Choksi and his nephew Nirav Modi, who exploited fraudulent Letters of Undertaking (LoUs) to siphon off funds from PNB's Mumbai branch. The duo, aided by bank officials, bypassed legal protocols and used the SWIFT system to transfer money abroad without detection. The fraud remained undetected for years due to systemic oversight failures and internal collusion, prompting significant reforms in India's banking sector post-exposure. Both Choksi and Modi are accused of exploiting regulatory loopholes, with Modi currently fighting extradition from the UK. Choksi's arrest marks a crucial development in a case that has significantly impacted India's financial landscape. sources
