UK Vlogger Loses AirPods In Dubai, Finds Them In Pakistan, Blames 'Cow-Worshipping' Indians
British YouTuber Miles Routledge found his stolen AirPods in Pakistan after an Indian man sold them there. Routledge criticised Indians, calling them thieves.
British YouTuber Miles Routledge had lost his AirPods in Dubai a year ago and finally found them in Pakistan. However, his anger was directed at India because an Indian man had stolen his AirPods and then sold them in Pakistan.
Routledge had sparked controversy last year for his racist posts in which he had targeted Indians, and this time again he was criticising Indian culture.
Routledge, also known as Lord Miles, blamed the Indians for theft and said that they came from a corrupt system. He also criticised Indians for their religious beliefs and mocked them for worshipping cows.
He claimed that the AirPods got stolen after he gave them to Indian cleaners with his belongings.
'Many Indians come from a corrupt system. They worship a god that is a cow, not a real man, which is why I believe Indians are not real men. They stole my AirPods when I trusted them to clean my room and then sold them to a man in Pakistan. I do not like India. It's a country full of 1.4 billion problems," Routledge told the media in Pakistan.
As per Pakistan's Geo TV, the influencer had enabled the 'lost mode" feature on his iPhone, which helped him track the AirPods' location in real time.
He was left astonished when he saw that the GPS location showed his AirPods were in Kala Gujran, near the city of Jhelum in Pakistan's Punjab.
Because he had no direct contacts in Pakistan, the vlogger used his extensive social media following and tagged the Jhelum Police in his posts, reported Geo TV.
As per reports, Routledge also shared the device's serial number with the police. The YouTuber has more than 178K subscribers on YouTube and over 333K followers on X.
Routledge Reaches Pakistan To Get AirPods, Lashes Out At Indians
Taking to X after some time, the British YouTuber said that he will be travelling to Pakistan to recover his AirPods.
'I'm going to get a police officer and storm the area, get back my AirPods and film it all. Don't like thieves," the YouTuber tweeted.
When he reached Pakistan, the AirPods were already in police custody. In a televised statement, Miles appreciated the Jhelum Police and said that the force did what 'Scotland Yard in London would not do for a British citizen like me."
After finding his AirPods, Miles Routledge slammed Indians and called them 'thieves".
'An announcement from the Pakistan Jhelum Police Chief, the Inspector General and Lord Miles regarding the STOLEN AirPods. I have MY AirPods back after 1 year! TLDR; it was unknowingly sold to a Pakistani man by an Indian national who's now been arrested on procuring and trafficking stolen goods," Routledge wrote on X.
Last year, the YouTuber shared racist posts targeting Indians, which sparked controversy.
Routledge had shared a screenshot of a threatening message sent by an anonymous X user and claimed that he was Indian.
In another post, the YouTuber joked about launching nuclear weapons against India.
'When I become Prime Minister of England, I'll open the nuclear silos… I'm itching to launch and atomize entire nations over the smallest infraction (sic)," he wrote. 'Hell, I might just launch at India just for the sake of it!" he wrote.

Gold Smuggling Case: ED Attaches Ranya Rao's Immovable Properties Worth Rs 34.12 Cr
Last Updated: The Directorate of Enforcement has attached properties worth Rs 34.12 Crore under PMLA in a gold smuggling case involving Ranya Rao, including assets in Bengaluru and Tumkur. The Directorate of Enforcement (ED), has provisionally attached immovable properties valued at Rs 34.12 Crore under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002 in a case involving transnational gold smuggling and laundering of its proceeds by Ms. Harshavardini Ranya alias Ranya Rao and her associates, a press release said. The attached assets include immovable properties located in Bengaluru and Tumkur districts of Karnataka. The attachments have been made in terms of Section 5(1) of PMLA as property equivalent in value to the untraced proceeds of crime identified during the investigation. ED initiated its investigation based on FIR No. RC2172025A0006 dated March 07, 2025, registered by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), AC-II, New Delhi under Section 61(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (corresponding to Section 120B IPC) and Sections 7 & 12 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, following a complaint by the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI). The FIR pertained to the interception of two foreign nationals—an Omani and a UAE citizen—at Mumbai International Airport with 21.28 kg of smuggled foreign-origin gold, valued at Rs 18.92 Crore. Earlier, on March 03, 2025, DRI had intercepted Ranya Rao at Kempegowda International Airport, Bengaluru, with 14.213 kg of concealed 24-carat foreign-origin gold, valued at Rs 12.56 Crore. A search of her residence resulted in the recovery of Rs 2.67 Crore in unaccounted Indian currency and gold jewellery worth Rs 2.06 Crore. According to the release, false customs declarations were filed in Dubai, fraudulently declaring the destination of gold shipments as Switzerland or the USA, while the actual destination of the gold smugglers was India. Dual sets of travel documents were used, i.e. one for the declared export destination and the other for their actual arrival in India, to evade scrutiny and facilitate smuggling through Indian airports. Further, ED investigation has revealed that the smuggled gold was then sold within India in cash to jewellers and other local entities, and the proceeds were subsequently laundered through further hawala remittances abroad to finance repeat consignments for smuggling more gold into India. Evidence retrieved from the seized mobile phones and forensic extraction of digital devices has revealed detailed coordination with foreign gold suppliers, hawala operators, and Dubai-based customs agents. Ranya Rao's involvement in generating, possessing, and circulating proceeds of crime was further corroborated by her digital footprint, which includes invoices, export declarations, foreign remittance records, and recorded chats establishing her active role in the smuggling syndicate. In her statement under Section 50 of the PMLA, Ranya Rao denied knowledge of the seized gold and other assets; however, her claims were demonstrably contradicted by seized physical evidence, including customs documents bearing her name, travel and purchase records, and digital conversations. Despite the seizure of 14.2 kg of smuggled gold and associated assets by DRI, the total proceeds of crime identified during ED's investigation have been quantified at Rs 55.62 Crore. This includes approximately Rs 38.32 Crore identified through analysis of the evidence gathered during the course of investigation by ED, e.g. foreign invoices, customs declarations, and hawala-linked remittances. The same has been corroborated through searches conducted by ED under Section 17 of PMLA. It has also emerged during the investigation that Ranya Rao was assisted at the airport upon her arrival in India, and the possible involvement of public servants in facilitating her illicit activities is under scrutiny. As a substantial portion of the proceeds of crime had been layered and reinvested into immovable assets to project them as untainted, ED has provisionally attached four properties of equivalent value belonging to Ranya Rao. These include a residential house in Victoria Layout, Bengaluru; a residential plot in Arkavathi Layout, Bengaluru; industrial land in Tumkur District; and agricultural land in Anekal Taluk, with a combined fair market value of Rs 34.12 Crore. The attachment has been carried out to prevent the concealment or alienation of the tainted assets and to secure the proceeds of crime following Section 2(1)(u) of the PMLA. Further investigation is in progress to trace the remaining proceeds of the crime and identify other individuals and entities involved in the syndicate.

What Zerodha CEO Said As SEBI Bars Jane Street From Indian Markets
New Delhi: Zerodha co-founder and CEO Nithin Kamath on Friday praised the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) for taking strong action against US-based trading giant Jane Street, saying that India's robust regulatory framework does not allow market practices that are common in the West. In a post on social media platform X, Mr Kamath said: "None of these practices would be allowed in India, thanks to our regulators", referring to US market structures like dark pools and payment for order flow -- mechanisms often criticised for favouring hedge funds at the expense of retail investors. Mr Kamath's comments came in the wake of SEBI's interim order accusing Jane Street and its group entities of manipulating the Bank Nifty index using complex intra-day strategies. The regulator found that the firm booked massive profits of over Rs 43,289 crore between January 2023 and March 2025, largely through options trades, by artificially inflating and then dragging down the index -- especially on expiry days. Mr Kamath noted the severity of the alleged manipulation, saying: "You've got to hand it to SEBI for going after Jane Street. If the allegations are true, it's blatant market manipulation." He added that the firm's continued actions even after alerts from the exchanges point to how accustomed some players are to the lenient oversight in other jurisdictions. However, Mr Kamath also raised concerns about the potential downside of the action. He pointed out that proprietary trading firms like Jane Street contribute nearly 50 per cent of India's options trading volumes. If they decide to pull back in light of SEBI's crackdown, retail participation -- which makes up about 35 per cent -- could also take a hit. "This could be bad news for both exchanges and brokers," Mr Kamath contended. He further remarked that the next few days would be crucial in understanding how dependent the Indian market is on large prop trading firms. "F&O volumes might reveal just how reliant we are on these prop giants," he added.

'If you challenge me, it will result in your death': Indian man arrested for fighting with co-passenger on US flight
A 21-year-old Indian-origin man, Ishaan Sharma, has been arrested and charged with battery after allegedly assaulting a fellow passenger on a flight from Philadelphia to Miami, authorities said. According to jail records, Sharma is facing a USD 500 bond. Local outlet reported that Sharma allegedly got into a mid-air altercation with another passenger, Keanu Evans, who claimed the fight began without any provocation. What happened? "What I hate is that the video doesn't capture what started the whole thing, you know?" said Evans. "It only captures me defending myself." Evans said, "He was doing some, like, dark laugh like, ha ha ha ha ha. And he was saying things like, you, you puny mortal man, if you challenge me, it will result in your death." Live Events Evans said he then went to use the restroom and told the flight attendants what was going on. The flight attendants told him to push the button for assistance if the argument continues. Evans said he pushed the button, the media report said. Watch video here: — ONLYinDADE (@ONLYinDADE) "He kept threatening me with death," said Evans in the report. "That's what made me get up and press the button above me and I just turned around and I looked at him and I responded to him. A lot was going on, and immediately he just got up and he put his forehead on my forehead like he was challenging me." Evans said the situation quickly escalated and Sharma was "looking at me very angrily and we're looking eye to eye, forehead to forehead, and then he just grabs me by the throat and just starts choking me. At that moment it was, you know, fight or flight responses kick in. I'm in a tight, confined space on an aircraft, and all I can do is just defend myself". "If you see on my face, I've got some scratches from him," said Evans. A video of the brawl quickly went viral on social media. Upon landing on Monday night, Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office deputies took Sharma into custody. Officials noted he had a facial injury that required stitches. The report added that cell phone footage showed Evans and Sharma in the middle of the fight as other passengers urged them to stop. "Let him go," said an unidentified passenger. "Stop, let him go." A flight attendant reportedly also tried to break up the fight, but was unsuccessful. "Sir, you have to sit down," a flight attendant, seen on video, tells the men. Evans told 7News that he was attacked while simply returning to his seat and he did nothing to provoke Sharma. PTI
