The video sparked widespread criticism, with some users accusing the couple of reflecting poorly on Indians. Many expressed outrage and disappointment, condemning the couple for polluting Canada, while others defended them, suggesting they might have been feeding wildlife. Some said that there was no definitive indication that the couple was of Indian nationality.
One user said, "Are they mad? Why can't they throw the same in a dustbin? Someone should catch them and hand them over to the police; they should not leave unless they pay heavy penalty.''
A second commented, "They might have been throwing food for some wildlife and took the plastic bags back with them. Please don't generalise. Also, read about how much they contribute to the Canadian economy."
A third stated, "Blaming an entire nation for littering is unfair and unhelpful. Cleanliness is about civic responsibility, not nationality. Yes, some people lack civic sense, and Indians are also tired of them."
A fourth added, "What's the proof that they are indians? They could be Pakistanis, Bangladeshi and Nepalese; they look exactly like us, but you don't have any proof that they are Indians. I really don't care who they are, but if they are Indian,s put them behind bars or fine them heavily because they are destroying my country's name."
A fifth wrote, "Could they be feeding birds or some wild animal? Could it be bread or something similar? Or perhaps flowers for a ritual? Does anyone know the area and what exists at that spot? Because they didn't throw the plastic bags — they kept them."
In Canada, illegal dumping can result in fines up to $150,000 and even imprisonment. Residents can report incidents to municipal authorities or hotlines.

Is United Kingdom a safe haven for fugitives? Experts debate
India and the United Kingdom signed a historic and comprehensive economic and trade agreement. Described by UK Prime Minister Starmer as "the biggest and most economically significant trade deal that the UK has made since leaving the EU," the pact aims to significantly boost bilateral trade. During the talks, Indian Prime Minister Modi also raised the issue of Khalistani extremism, stating that "extremist forces should not be allowed to misuse democratic freedom." PM Modi and Starmer also reaffirmed their commitment to working closely on the extradition of fugitive economic offenders wanted in India. Indian officials have long pressed for action against such individuals, many of whom continue to reside in the UK. So with many Indian fugitives in the UK, the question is, is the United Kingdom a safe haven for fugitives? Why is extradition from the United Kingdom tough? Watch as experts debate these and more the show.

Indian tourist arrested in Pattaya for stealing ₹16,000 from transgender woman
A 34-year-old Indian man, allegedly intoxicated, was arrested in Thailand's Pattaya for reportedly stealing cash from the purse of a transgender woman he had met on Walking Street -- a location well known for its nightlife. The 27-year-old transgender woman, identified as Nong Ploy, filed a police complaint on July 18, accusing the man of stealing 7,000 baht (approximately ₹ 16,100), The Pattaya News reported. Ploy told the media outlet that she met the suspect at an Indian-themed pub on Walking Street, where they struck up a conversation and later decided to continue drinking at his guesthouse room. Upon her arrival, the man allegedly persuaded her to take a shower. When she came out, she noticed him closing a safe in a suspicious manner. On checking her belongings, she realised that 7,000 baht had been stolen from her bag. When she tried to leave, the suspect reportedly stopped her and prevented her from exiting the room. Hotel staff intervened after hearing the woman's cries for help and alerted the police. Nong stated that the man appeared intoxicated and possibly under the influence of drugs, displaying erratic behaviour, including sticking out his tongue and acting in a bizarre manner. Thai police have detained the man, and he remains in custody. An investigation has been launched. In a similar incident, a 38-year-old Indian man was arrested for allegedly stealing items worth ₹ 3.5 lakh from 14 shops at Singapore's Jewel Changi Airport before flying out of the country.

The suspect left Singapore after committing the thefts but was arrested on June 1 upon returning and transiting through Changi Airport. The Singapore Police Force (SPF) confirmed his arrest in a press release on July 23, stating that the stolen items had been recovered. He is expected to be charged with theft and fraudulent possession of property on July 25.

Two Gujarat men deported by US booked for forgery
Ahmedabad: Two men from Gujarat were booked by Delhi Police after being deported from the US earlier this month for allegedly using forged travel documents, officers at Delhi airport said on Wednesday. In the first case, Mahesh Patel, a resident of Mehsana, landed at IGI Airport on July 9 by flight AI102 from the US. During immigration checks, officers noticed multiple signs of forgery in his Indian passport, according to the record of the FIR with the IGI airport police on July 11. The ghost image on the bio page, laser perforations, UV security features and stitching were all found to be tampered with. Upon questioning, Mahesh admitted he acquired the passport through an agent to illegally enter the US, as stated in the FIR. His passport, issued in March 2023, was the only one issued in his name, yet it showed clear signs of fabrication. The tampered security features allowed him to bypass Indian checks, while foreign agents may have overlooked the distortions, enabling his travel. IGI police registered a case of cheating, breach of trust and forgery under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) along with Section 12 of the Passport Act.

However, immigration systems had no record of his departure under either of his previous passports. Jignesh claimed he left India once in 1998 and the next time in 2003, and had not returned since, raising suspicion that he may have travelled on someone else's passport or obtained a passport fraudulently. But database showed that a passport in his name was issued in 2002 once only. The gap between his travel record and passport issuance indicated possible impersonation or misuse of identity. He too was booked under similar sections.
