PM Modi meets King Charles, India-UK sign Free Trade Agreement and more

In this episode of World Today, the focus is on the historic India-UK Free Trade Agreement signed during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the United Kingdom. The deal aims to double bilateral trade to $120 billion by 2030, giving 99% of Indian exports duty exemption. PM Modi also raised the issues of economic fugitives and Khalistani separatists in the UK. PM Modi also met King Charles III at Sandringham House in the United Kingdom, shortly after the signing of the India-UK Free Trade Agreement. The meeting reflected the ongoing efforts to strengthen bilateral ties between the two countries. The programme also covers US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard releasing documents implicating former President Obama in the 2016 election, which President Trump lauded.

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.

Babbar Khalsa-linked man held in Indore for grenade attack on Punjab police station

NEW DELHI: The Delhi Police Special Cell has arrested a 22-year-old man allegedly linked to the banned terror outfit Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) for his involvement in the grenade attack on a police station in Punjab's Gurdaspur district earlier this year. The accused, identified as Akashdeep alias Bazz from Amritsar, was apprehended on Tuesday in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, where he was working as a crane operator at a construction site. Police said he was involved in the grenade attack at Quila Lal Singh police station in Gurdaspur on April 7. Following the attack, a social media post claiming responsibility and issuing further threats to Delhi was circulated by individuals affiliated with BKI—Happy Pachiya, Mannu Agwan, and Gopi Nawanshahria. Deputy Commissioner of Police (Special Cell) Amit Kaushik said Akashdeep was in contact with a handler from Punjab operating BKI activities from abroad. He reportedly received instructions through social media for planning and executing terror activities. Police added that Akashdeep was also engaged in the illegal supply of arms to criminals in Delhi. After receiving intelligence about his movements, the Special Cell tracked him across Gujarat before locating him in Madhya Pradesh. The arrest was made under a new initiative of the Delhi Police's Special Cell known as the 'Operation Cell.' This dedicated unit has been formed to monitor Khalistani terror activities and other emerging threats, with a focus on social media and the dark web. It will operate 24x7 to track digital activity linked to banned organisations, Indian gangsters operating abroad, and cross-border radical networks. Officials said the increasing use of digital platforms by terror outfits for recruitment, radicalisation, and communication has necessitated the creation of a specialised monitoring wing. Akashdeep has been brought to Delhi for further interrogation, said police, adding that the efforts are underway to trace his associates, handlers, and the network aiding his movement and activities across state borders.
