The incident, captured on video and initially posted by the X account Abrahamic Lincoln, shows the Indian man being confronted in what appears to be a parking area. Without any provocation, a white man begins recording the encounter and launches into a racist tirade, targeting the man's ethnicity and nationality.
'Why are you in my country? Why are you here? Why are you in America? I don't like you guys here. There are too many of you guys here,' the man is heard saying angrily. 'Indians, you guys are flooding all the white countries, and we are tired of it. Americans are getting sick of this sh**. I want you to go back to India.' Throughout the shocking rant, the Indian man remains calm and composed.
The video, later reposted by Ghar Ke Kalesh with the caption, 'White guy confronts a random Indian man for no reason, what a racist piece of trash,' has since sparked a wave of online outrage.

Social media reacts with fury and support
The clip has drawn strong backlash on social media, with thousands of users expressing disgust at the behaviour and extending solidarity with the victim.
'White migrants calling others migrants is quite funny,' commented one user, while another added, 'Nothing, they're just intimidated by Indians! They know how talented, capable, and progressive we are. It only shows their insecurities.'

Another comment read, 'An outsider calling another outsider an outsider. The land originally belongs to Native Americans, not to these Europeans.' Others echoed this sentiment, with one saying, 'Ironically, they don't even know the origins of their ancestors.'
The economic contributions of the Indian community also came into focus. 'Because of India, America is making money. Have some respect,' wrote one user. Another chimed in, 'Indians don't take your jobs, they create entire industries. So yes, you will see us everywhere.'

‘Won't pick a fight': Booker, Cornyn clash over Epstein Files at fiery Senate hearing
A Senate Judiciary Committee hearing turned into a tense standoff as Senators Cory Booker and John Cornyn clashed over the Jeffrey Epstein files. What started as a debate on an opioid bill quickly escalated into a broader confrontation over transparency, accountability, and the scope of justice. Senator Booker fiercely defended his amendment calling for the release of Epstein-related documents, insisting the American people deserve the truth. He accused Senator Cornyn of using immigration language to mask a quiet attempt to strike his amendment, dodging a national call for clarity about co-conspirators and systemic failures. Senator Cornyn countered with equal fire, challenging Booker's sincerity and pivoting the discussion to immigration-related tragedies, invoking the pain of grieving families. Show more Show less

Jharkhand liquor scam: After Pune director Amit Salunkhe's arrest, Sumeet Facilities denies allegations
TWO DAYS after the arrest of director Amit Salunkhe in the Jharkhand liquor scam, his firm Sumeet Facilities on Saturday denied the allegations levelled against him. 'We categorically reject and dismiss, in the strongest possible terms, the unfounded accusations made in public domain, concerning the alleged involvement of our Director, Amit Salunkhe, in a purported alcohol-related case. These baseless insinuations are nothing more than an attempt to tarnish the reputation of Sumeet Facilities Limited and its leadership,' Sumeet Facilities Limited said in a press release. The Jharkhand police have made 11 arrests in the case involving embezzlement of Rs 450 crore. Salunkhe was called for questioning by the officials of ACB. After questioning, he was taken into custody. 'Neither our company, our director, nor his family members have any links—direct or indirect—with any political party or political figure. Any insinuation to the contrary is wholly inaccurate and deserves to be ignored,' a spokesperson for the firm said. Regarding the Ambulance Project '108', a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) was rightly dismissed by the Hon'ble Bombay High Court on April 8, 2025. The court confirmed that the entire tender process conducted by the government of Maharashtra was fair, transparent, and legally sound. All allegations of cost escalation were found to be meritless and unsubstantiated,' the Sumeet Facilities said. 'As for the allegations against M Amit Salunkhe relating to Jharkhand's Excise Policy for the year 2022, we view these claims as entirely false. Salunkhe has been wrongfully implicated by investigative agencies, and the case remains sub judice before the courts in Ranchi. We have absolute confidence in the Indian judiciary and are certain that all truth will soon be vindicated,' the spokesperson said.

4 in police net for kidnapping Dubai businessman in Bengaluru; cops say girlfriend tipped off gang about his lavish lifestyle
The Bengaluru police Saturday arrested four members of a gang that allegedly kidnapped a Dubai-based businessman and kept him captive in the Karnataka capital for over a week to demand a Rs 2.5 crore ransom. The kidnapping is alleged to have happened after the girlfriend of the businessman – who is yet to be arrested – tipped off the gang about his lifestyle of gambling and partying while he was on a visit to Bengaluru from Dubai. The Bengaluru-resident mother of the 37-year-old Kerala-origin businessman, Milton Lawrence, had filed a complaint with the Ashoknagar police on July 16 about her son going missing from the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Bengaluru on July 12. Subsequently, the businessman himself filed a police complaint on July 23 about his abduction from July 13 to 22 by six persons, including his girlfriend, Mahima Vat. The Bengaluru central police have identified the four persons who have been arrested for the kidnapping of the businessman as Mohammed Ashif, 42, Salman Pasha, 22, Mohammed Nawaz, 27, and Mohammed Suhel, 25. The arrested men are residents of RT Nagara, DJ Halli, and KG Halli in Bengaluru. They are alleged to be part of an eight-member gang that carried out the kidnapping for ransom. 'Four persons have been arrested. Basically, his girlfriend only planned it. It was more for quick bucks than ransom. This guy has made big bucks, and his girlfriend knew about it. He is flamboyant and boastful about his wealth. The girlfriend is yet to be secured,' said a Bengaluru police officer who is familiar with the investigations in the case. In his complaint about the kidnapping, Lawrence, who describes himself as the manager of a tours and travels company in Dubai, stated that he had arrived in Bengaluru in June with his family and they stayed briefly at his parents' home in east Bengaluru before traveling to Kerala. On his return from Kerala to Bengaluru, the businessman is reported to have taken a room at the Ritz Carlton for himself and visited a poker joint in east Bengaluru on July 12 and 13. According to the police complaint, Lawrence received a call from his girlfriend in Bengaluru on July 13 asking him to meet her instead of spending time playing poker. His girlfriend allegedly sent a car to pick up Lawrence at his hotel, and the businessman was allegedly kidnapped in the car by a gang that blindfolded him and took him to a service apartment where he was held captive for a week. The gang is alleged to have taken away Rs 1 lakh in cash from the possession of Lawrence and then demanded Rs 50 lakh. When the businessman offered to pay Rs 20 lakh, the gang refused it, and when he agreed to pay the Rs 50 lakh amount, the gang is alleged to have asked for Rs 2.5 crore to secure his release from captivity. The gang is alleged to have released the businessman on July 22 after getting wind of police investigations based on the complaint filed by his mother.
