"You F***ing Immigrant": Shocking Video Shows Canadian Youngsters Harassing Indian Couple
The video, originally shared by the victim on Facebook, has been widely circulated across social media. "A man in Canada verbally attacked an Indian couple outside a mall, using racial slurs. There's a growing sentiment of hostility toward Indian immigrants in Canada," one X user wrote while sharing the video.
According to Peterborough Police, the incident took place on July 29 in the parking lot of Lansdowne Place Mall in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada.
In a press release, the cops confirmed that they have arrested an 18-year-old from the City of Kawartha Lakes in connection with the incident. The man, whose identity hasn't been revealed, has been charged with uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm. "The accused has been released on an undertaking and will appear in court September 16, 2025," cops said.
"Anybody who has seen the video in this case will understand that that type of behaviour is not acceptable in our community, nor any community. I would like to thank everyone who came forward with information in connection with this incident," said Chief Stuart Betts, Peterborough Police Service.
"Clearly this is not the standard of acceptable behaviour in our city. We encourage residents to continue to report hate bias incidents/crimes that take place in our community. Reporting these incidents to police is crucial to ensuring we have the information needed to investigate and pursue charges when appropriate. We are committed to keeping our community safe for everyone who lives, works, or visits here," the cop added.

ED freezes mule accounts worth ₹110 cr in PMLA case against Parimatch
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Thursday said it has frozen ₹110 crore kept in mule bank accounts in connection with a money laundering case against Parimatch, a Cyprus-based 'illegal' online betting platform. The agency also seized at least 1,200 credit cards during searches on its Indian operations. The platform, according to the ED, gained prominence through an 'aggressive' marketing strategy, including sports sponsorships and celebrity endorsements. It is accused of cheating investors by luring them with high returns and generating over ₹3,000 crore in a year. Surrogate advertising and foreign payments In a statement, the ED said, 'They also set up Indian entities to run surrogate advertisements under the names 'Parimatch Sports' and 'Parimatch News'. Payments to these agencies were made via foreign inward remittances.' Searches were carried out at 17 locations across Mumbai, Noida, Jaipur, Surat, Madurai, Kanpur, and Hyderabad. The case was registered on August 12 under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), following an FIR filed by the cyber police station of Mumbai Police against the company's website. Alleged modus operandi According to the ED, Parimatch routed funds from users through mule accounts using various strategies nationwide. In one instance, deposits into mule accounts were withdrawn in Tamil Nadu and handed to hawala operators, who recharged virtual wallets of a UK-based company. These wallets were then used to buy cryptocurrency under mule crypto accounts operated by Parimatch agents. The agency said Parimatch engaged domestic money transfer (DMT) agents in western India. Mule accounts managed by these agents were also used to make payments via mule credit cards to Parimatch representatives. Use of unlicensed payment companies The ED alleged that Parimatch used payment companies whose applications for payment aggregator licences were rejected by the Reserve Bank of India. Operating as technology service providers, these companies offered their application programming interface (API) to facilitate fund transfers for the betting platform. Funds received via the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) were allegedly layered and disguised as e-commerce proceeds, chargebacks, vendor payments, and other transactions to conceal their origin.

TOI Bharat Abroad: OCI Crackdown, Dublin Attacks, and an American Teen's Jana Gana Mana Goes Viral
Bharat in your inbox — every week. News, views, and stories that matter to the global Indian. Hello and welcome to TOI Bharat Abroad. This week: India tightens OCI rules, making serious charges grounds for losing long-term visa-free access. In Dublin, racist attacks on Indians force the postponement of India Day celebrations. And a 17-year-old American goes viral for belting out Jana Gana Mana with flawless pride. THE BIG STORY Tightened OCI Rules The Indian government has moved to make it easier to strip Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) status from holders facing serious criminal charges. A new notification says OCI registration will be cancelled if a cardholder is convicted and sentenced to two years or more in prison, or if they are charge-sheeted for an offence carrying a potential seven-year jail term. Why it matters: The rule change raises the stakes for Indian-origin foreign nationals living abroad, making even pending serious charges grounds for losing long-term visa-free access to India. For many, OCI status is their primary link to the country — losing it can mean restrictions on travel, property rights, and residency. Driving the news: In a gazette notification issued under Section 7D of the Citizenship Act, the Ministry of Home Affairs said the move is aimed at tightening eligibility and deterring criminal activity. The OCI scheme, launched in 2005, lets qualifying Indian-origin foreign nationals visit India without a visa, but excludes current or former citizens of Pakistan, Bangladesh, and other countries specified by the government. The changes come amid heightened scrutiny of diaspora links to India and follow similar tightening of visa and residency rules in other countries. Read article. NRI Watch Indians attacked in Dublin A spate of racist attacks in Dublin has left the Indian community fearful, prompting the postponement of the annual India Day celebrations.

Community leaders have urged stronger policing, blaming far-right groups for inciting youth violence, as Ireland's leaders condemned the attacks. Read article. OFFBEAT American Desi At 17, most American teens are busy with prom playlists or football practice. But one teen has gone viral for something far rarer — belting out Jana Gana Mana with the kind of gusto usually reserved for cricket finals. The Instagram clip, now past 41,000 views, shows him singing India's national anthem with flawless pronunciation and visible pride. Comments poured in: 'Making us proud,' wrote one. 'Best thing I saw today,' said another. The teen, who knows anthems from several countries, calls India's his favourite. Composed by Rabindranath Tagore in five stanzas, the anthem celebrates unity in diversity — a fitting choice for a young American whose voice just bridged two worlds. Read article.

Nigerian cyber kingpin busted in Delhi, Uttarakhand STF exposes multi-crore 'parcel scam'
DEHRADUN: In a significant breakthrough against organised cybercrime, the Uttarakhand Special Task Force (STF) has on Thursday arrested a Nigerian national in Delhi, dismantling an international syndicate involved in a multi-crore parcel fraud. The accused, Colinus Ugochukwu Nwaemuka, was apprehended following a swift operation by the STF Cyber Crime Police team. The arrest stems from a complaint by a Dehradun resident defrauded of nearly Rs 29 lakh. The accused befriended a woman on Facebook claiming to be a senior manager at an Amsterdam pharmaceutical company. Gaining trust, the fraudster orchestrated a fake parcel delivery via 'Flota Logistics', demanding online payments for custom scanning, gold license, currency conversion, GST, insurance, and clearance. The victim initially transferred Rs 24,88,400 in multiple instalments. Subsequently, the cyber culprits escalated deception, posing as 'National Cyber Security' officials and fake police. They extorted an additional Rs 4,10,250 under guise of settling a fabricated case and processing files. The syndicate used fake mobile numbers, bank accounts, and misused government designations to pressure the victim, totalling Rs 28,98,650 in fraud. Recognising the case's gravity, Senior Superintendent of Police, STF, Navneet Bhullar initiated a high-level investigation. The probe was supervised by Additional Superintendent of Police Swapn Kishore and Deputy Superintendent of Police Ankush Mishra, and led by Inspector Ashish Gusai, a Cyber Commando. The Cyber Crime Police obtained crucial data from banks, telecom providers, domain hosting companies, and Meta, analysing digital footprints including mobile numbers, bank accounts, and chats. SSP Navneet Bhullar stated, "This arrest marks a crucial step in dismantling a sophisticated international cybercrime network. Our team meticulously followed digital footprints, clearly showing how these criminals exploited social media extensively to ensnare victims. They cunningly posed as international contacts and fake government officials to extract substantial sums, demonstrating a highly organised modus operandi. We are committed to ensuring justice for victims and prosecuting these offenders fully." According to the STF officials, this case represents the first major success by Uttarakhand's dedicated cyber commando team. Plans are underway to provide advanced training to 70 more cyber commandos in Uttarakhand, aiming for more effective control over state cybercrimes.
