Senior Maoist leader gunned down in Jharkhand encounter
A joint team of Chaibasa Police and CoBRA 209 battalion gunned down a senior CPI (Maoist) leader during an encounter in the forests of Goilkera in Jharkhand's West Singhbhum district Wednesday morning. Police said the militant has been identified as Arun alias Varun alias Nilesh Madkam, an area commander of the banned CPI (Maoist) outfit, hailing from Konta police station limits in Sukma district of Chhattisgarh. An official also confirmed that he carried a bounty of Rs 2 lakh on his head. According to police, Maoist leaders including Misir Besra, Anmol, Mochu Anal, Aseem Mandal, Ajay Mahato, Sagen Angaria, and Ashwin have been actively moving with their armed squads in the Kolhan-Saranda region, allegedly plotting attacks on security forces and engaging in anti-national activities. On August 12, intelligence inputs suggested that top Maoist leaders and various squad commanders, identified as Ravi Sardar, Jaikant, Arun, Sandeep, Shiva, Rishibh, Upton, Sanat, Amit Munda, and Bhuneshwar alias Saluka Kayam Somwari had gathered in Kolhan to execute a 'major incident' ahead of Independence Day. Acting on the input, a joint operation was launched by Chaibasa Police and CoBRA 209 battalion. Around 6 am on Wednesday, the forces came under fire in the hilly and forested areas near Dugunia, Posaeta, and Tumbagada under Goilkera police station limits, officials said. The security personnel retaliated, forcing the Maoist squad to retreat into the dense jungle. During the subsequent search, the body of a male Maoist was recovered along with an SLR rifle, cartridges, and other daily-use items, officials said. According to the police, Arun had a long criminal history, including involvement in multiple murders, kidnappings, attacks on security forces, extortion, and offences under the Arms Act, and Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act across Goilkera, Sonua, and Tonto police station areas. The recovered weapon and materials have been seized, and further action is being taken in line with the National Human Rights Commission's SOPs, police said, adding that the anti-Maoist operation in the region is still ongoing.

Commerce ministry readies export incentives, credit aid to blunt Trump tariffs
New Delhi: The government will soon announce an economic package to help Indian exporters remain competitive in the overseas markets at a time of severe international trade disruptions caused by US president Donald Trump's tariff tirade. According to a top government official, the commerce ministry has finalized the proposal and sent it to the finance ministry for consideration. The package is designed to give exporters a combination of incentives, policy support and targeted interventions to help them overcome the volatility in global trade. 'We have sent the proposal to the finance ministry, and it is now awaiting clearance from the Expenditure Finance Committee (EFC) before being placed before the Union cabinet for approval,' the official said on the sidelines of the inauguration of the new building of Intellectual Property Office on Wednesday. The package has been designed to address both immediate operational challenges faced by exporters and medium-term policy hurdles, with a particular emphasis on high-potential sectors that can yield quick gains in overseas shipments, the official added, requesting not to be identified. Mint reported on 8 August that India is preparing to counter stiff US tariffs by pivoting to new markets and offering incentives for exporters, even as prime minister Narendra Modi has vowed to protect the interests of the country's farmers and fishermen. Trump has imposed an additional 25% tariff to punish India for buying Russian oil and weapons, doubling the duty on New Delhi's shipments to Washington to 50% Alongside efforts to secure fresh trading destinations, the government's proposed financial package under the Export Promotion Mission is expected to include raising the duty drawback rate from 1% to as high as 5% to help exporters offset the additional tax burden, and reintroducing the interest equalization scheme (IES), which offers exporters a subsidy on interest rates to lower borrowing costs. These initiatives would be funded through a new ₹ 20,000 crore corpus. Duty drawback refers to the refund of duties collected upon import of goods. Finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced the Export Promotion Mission in the FY26 budget to facilitate easy access to export credit, and help small businesses overcome non-tariff measures in foreign markets, among others. The measures are aimed at cushioning the economy against the potential fallout of the US tariff hike, which some economists warn could trim India's growth by 20 to 30 basis points, bringing it down to around 6.2% in the current fiscal year. The move is being initiated to mitigate the impact of the US tariffs. However, the government is continuing to pursue dialogue to resolve the matter, and no retaliatory measures are currently being considered. Meanwhile, while inaugurating the new building of the Intellectual Property Office, Union minister for commerce and industry Piyush Goyal said that provisions related to intellectual property laws in the country have been simplified to further improve ease of doing business. Keeping in mind the goal of a developed India, suggestions have been invited from all stakeholders to make the IP ecosystem more effective in order to further strengthen the Atmanirbhar Bharat campaign, Goyal added. 'The government will take similar steps for laws related to IPR (intellectual property rights), trademarks, and copyrights, in line with the approach taken under the Jan Vishwas Bill to decriminalize business laws. Suggestions will be sought from stakeholders for this process, and if necessary, a completely new legislation may be introduced,' Goyal said. The US tariffs threaten to disrupt trade flows between the two countries, which totalled $86.5 billion in Indian goods exported to the US in the last fiscal year. Sectors like textiles, engineering goods, marine products and gems and jewellery are particularly vulnerable and could see exports fall by as much as 40% if the tariffs persist, according to analysts.

ED questions Suresh Raina for 8 hours in illegal online betting app case
New Delhi, Aug 13 (PTI) The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Wednesday questioned former India cricketer Suresh Raina for more than eight hours in an alleged money laundering case linked to an illegal online betting app, official sources said. Raina (38) was seen interacting with CISF personnel and ED staff outside the agency's office in central Delhi before marking his attendance at around 11 am. He left the agency office around 8 pm. The federal probe agency recorded Raina's statement under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) as part of its investigation linked to a sports betting application named 1xBet, the sources said. Raina, who played 18 Tests, 226 ODIs, and 78 T20Is for India, is understood to have been linked to the app through certain endorsements. The ED wanted to understand his links with the app, any endorsement fee earned and the mode of communication between the two parties, according to the sources. The agency recently called representatives of Google and Meta for questioning as part of its probe. It also conducted multi-state searches on Tuesday in connection with a similar investigation against an online betting app named Parimatch. The agency is probing multiple such cases involving illegal betting apps, which allegedly duped numerous people and investors worth crores of rupees or evaded a huge amount of taxes. According to estimates by market analysis firms and probe agencies, there are about 22 crore Indian users of various such online betting apps, out of which half (about 11 crore) are regular users. The online betting app market in India is worth over USD 100 billion, which is growing at a rate of 30 per cent, according to experts. The government last month told Parliament that it has issued 1,524 orders from 2022 till June 2025 to block online betting and gambling platforms. Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology, Jitin Prasada, told Lok Sabha in a written reply that the Directorate General of GST Intelligence headquarters is empowered as an appropriate government agency under the Information Technology Act, 2000, and the IGST Act to direct intermediaries to block unregistered online money gaming platforms, including offshore online money gaming platforms, violating the IGST Act. He said the suppliers of online money gaming are also being regulated under the Integrated Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 (IGST Act). 'Under the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution, 'betting and gambling' is a state subject (entry 34 of the List II). Therefore, as per the provisions of Article 246 read with Article 162 of the Constitution, state legislatures have the power to legislate on matters related to betting and gambling," Prasada said. The minister also said the states and Union territories are primarily responsible for prevention, detection, investigation and prosecution of crimes, including action against illegal betting and gambling. 'The Central government supplements the efforts of the states/Union territories through advisories and financial assistance under various schemes for capacity building of their LEA," Prasada said.
