Myanmar man with forged Indian passport held at airport
He was caught on suspicion after he failed to speak in Hindi while his passport showed he was a Delhi resident.
The suspect, U Thang Soe Lyan Bawi, was handed over to Sahar police, who lodged an FIR against him on charges of passport forgery. Bawi allegedly used the forged Aadhaar, PAN and voter ID cards to obtain the Indian passport in Feb this year in Delhi.
During his interrogation, Bawi said after protesting against the Myanmar govt and its army, he fled the country in 2022 and arrived in Mizoram. "While staying in Mizoram, he frequently travelled to Delhi for work. He first managed to obtain a SIM with fraudulent documents. He used the mobile number to acquire Aadhaar, PAN and election cards," said a Sahar police officer.

Kerala nurse Nimisha Priya on death row in Yemen: SC told negotiations going on, no immediate threat
The Supreme Court was informed on Thursday that there was 'no immediate threat' to Indian nurse Nimisha Priya who is on death row in Yemen for murder. It then listed the matter after eight weeks. The counsel for petitioner organisation Save Nimisha Priya International Action Council, which is extending legal support to Priya, requested a bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta to adjourn the matter. The apex court was hearing a plea seeking a direction to the Centre to use diplomatic channels to save the 38-year-old nurse from Palakkad in Kerala who was convicted of murdering her Yemeni business partner in 2017. 'Negotiations are going on. As of now there is no immediate threat. Kindly adjourn it by four weeks. Hopefully, everything will be over by that time,' the counsel said. 'Let this matter be listed after eight weeks,' the bench then said. The petitioner's counsel said they would mention the matter before the top court if there was any urgency. The top court was apprised last month that Priya's execution, which was scheduled for July 16, had been stayed. On July 18, the Centre informed the top court that efforts were on and the government was trying everything possible to ensure Priya came out safely. The petitioner organisation sought a Centre-appointed delegation to go to Yemen to meet the murder victim's family for negotiations. The bench said the petitioner could make a representation to the government. The petitioner's counsel had earlier said Priya's mother was in Yemen to negotiate with the victim's family and she has gone there as the Delhi High Court asked the Centre to give her permission to travel. Priya was convicted in 2017, sentenced to death in 2020 and her final appeal rejected in 2023. She is imprisoned in a jail in the Yemen capital Sana'a. The petitioner's counsel had earlier told the apex court that payment of blood money to the family of the deceased permissible under the Sharia law could be explored. He said the victim's family might pardon Priya if blood money was paid. On July 17, India said it was in touch with Yemeni authorities as well as certain friendly nations as part of efforts to reach a 'mutually agreeable solution' in the case. According to Yemeni court documents, Priya allegedly drugged and murdered Talal Abdo Mahdi in July 2017.

FedEx, UPS, DHL executives to face fresh scrutiny in India's antitrust case
Top India executives of FedEx, UPS, Aramex and DHL are set to be cross-examined in coming weeks by a book publishers' group which accused them of price collusion, a new twist in an antitrust probe that cleared the courier companies of wrongdoing last year, a document shows. Allowing a complainant to interrogate companies is not common in Indian antitrust cases. It means the final findings of the antitrust investigation could change and create new challenges for the courier majors, and the case will be prolonged by several months, antitrust lawyers and government sources said. Many foreign and domestic companies are bullish about the Indian courier and parcel delivery market, which is expected to grow 11 per cent a year to $14.3 billion by 2030, bolstered by a boom in online shopping, research firm Mordor Intelligence says. In December, Reuters reported the Competition Commission of India (CCI) found "no evidence" of courier firms sharing commercial information amongst themselves. The 2022 cartel case, whose details remain confidential in line with rules, was triggered when the Federation of Indian Publishers alleged collusion on prices and discounts by delivery firms. The CCI has now found merit in a complaint by the publishers' group which argued it must be allowed to cross-examine the delivery company executives as investigators only relied on oral submissions to give the companies a clean chit. The federation "has demonstrated sufficient cause establishing necessity and expediency of conducting such cross-examination," the CCI noted in a May 28 internal order that was reviewed by Reuters. The order said the executives to be questioned were Subhasish Chakraborty, Managing Director of India's DTDC Express; R.S. Subramanian, Managing Director of DHL Express India; Suvendu Choudhury, a vice president of FedEx in India; Percy Avari, general manager of Aramex in India, and Abbas Panju, India managing director of UPS Express. None of the executives responded to requests for comment. DHL said in a statement it operates in full compliance with all laws and is "cooperating fully with the CCI", but could not comment on specifics. The CCI, as well as other companies - DTDC, U.S.-based FedEx and UPS, and Dubai's Aramex did not respond to Reuters queries. The Federation of Indian Publishers also did not respond. It represents many Indian publishers like and Rupa Publications, as well as some foreign groups like Pan Macmillan. 'RARE' CROSS-EXAMINATION Sending the case back to the CCI investigators could become an irritant for the logistics industry, which has faced scrutiny since 2015, when France levied a $735 million fine on 20 companies, including FedEx and DHL, for secretly colluding to increase prices. In India, cross-examination of companies by the complainant "is rare," said Gautam Shahi, a competition law partner at Indian law firm Dua Associates. "Such cross-examination may reveal new facts and the conclusions of the earlier investigation report may come into question. It may change the direction of the case," he said. The CCI investigations unit will now oversee the cross-examination proceedings in coming weeks and submit a report to top antitrust officials for a review, four sources familiar with the matter said. The Federation of Indian Publishers had alleged that courier companies acted together to determine charges, and also did not reduce the fuel surcharge they charged when jet fuel prices dropped. The 202-page investigation report shared with the companies privately last year, and seen by Reuters this week, notes that 36 notices were sent to 15 courier firms during 2023-24 to gather details of their businesses, with UPS submitting the most responses - 13. The CCI report concludes no email correspondence surfaced that showed "any collusive/concerted activities" among rivals. The Federation of Indian Publishers has also successfully argued it wants to point out several anomalies in the earlier recorded statements of company executives, which were ignored by investigators, noted the CCI order that allowed the cross-examination.
