'Poll authorities faulting me for their mistake by issuing me notice for 2 EPIC numbers,' says Tejashwi Yadav
RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav on Wednesday charged election authorities in Patna with "faulting him for their own mistake" by sending him a notice on having two EPIC numbers. The former Bihar deputy chief minister also claimed that "a good reply" was being drafted for the notice, sent last week, which would "leave them with nothing to say".

A good reply is being drafted and upon receipt, they would be left with nothing to say. They are trying to fault me for their own mistake. Whose lapse is it if two EPIC numbers have been issued in my name? After all, I have been casting my vote from only one place," said Yadav, who is the leader of the opposition in the state assembly. Notably, he had last week conducted an online search of his EPIC number in the draft electoral rolls which yielded the result "no records found". Claiming that many other well-heeled persons, including senior bureaucrats, had their names struck off in the draft rolls published as part of the special intensive revision, Yadav had cast serious doubts on the efficacy of the mammoth exercise which, he has been alleging, was "an attempt to help the ruling BJP-led NDA in the upcoming assembly elections in the state". Live Events The district administration in Patna had come out with a rebuttal of Yadav's allegation, sharing a screenshot of a portion of the draft electoral rolls in which names and photographs of the young leader, as also his father Lalu Prasad, the RJD president, could be seen. However, Yadav stuck to his guns, charging the election authorities with "changing my EPIC number", even as the NDA demanded that the RJD leader face trial for having two voter ID cards. The Patna district magistrate clarified that the EPIC number it had in its record was "the same as the one stated by the leader of the opposition in his own affidavit in the 2020 elections". Subsequently, the sub-divisional magistrate of Patna (Sadar), who is also the Electoral Registration Officer for Digha assembly constituency where Yadav and his family members are registered as voters, issued a letter asking the RJD leader to "hand over for thorough investigation" the voter ID card which was "not issued officially". The RJD leader spoke to journalists at the airport here, before leaving for Delhi to attend a meeting of the INDIA bloc at the residence of Rahul Gandhi , the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha. Regarding the meeting, he said, "We have many issues to discuss. The country is facing so many crises. The Donald Trump administration has unleashed a tariff offensive against the country, and the Narendra Modi government is maintaining a deafening silence." Yadav, who is the INDIA bloc's de facto chief ministerial candidate for the Bihar assembly polls, rubbished the suggestion that the NDA had stolen a march by holding its parliamentary party meeting a couple of days ago, which was addressed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. "Seat-sharing is not something that is finalised inside the Parliament House," the RJD leader said. The second-term Raghopur MLA also made light of controversial former legislator Anant Singh's claim that he would make Yadav "use his deposit" if the JD(U), headed by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, fielded him against the RJD leader. Yadav replied sarcastically, "Our party spokesperson Bantu Singh is the right man to answer such a boast." Bantu Singh was once a close aide of Anant Singh, a gangster-turned-politician who has represented Mokama several times, on tickets of JD(U) as well as RJD, and also as an Independent. In 2020, he won the seat on a ticket of the RJD, which fielded his wife Neelam Devi when a conviction in a case led to his disqualification. However, Neelam Devi defected to NDA last year when Nitish Kumar snapped ties with the RJD and returned to the BJP-led coalition. Anant Singh, who has been acquitted by the Patna High Court, has declared his intentions to contest the upcoming assembly polls, preferably on a JD(U) ticket, though the party has, so far, been non-committal on the issue.

Rupee holds firm against Trump tariffs on RBI intervention expectations
The Indian rupee shrugged off U.S. President Donald Trump 's additional tariffs on Indian goods on Thursday, as traders and analysts bet on central bank support to steady the currency. The rupee closed largely flat at 87.7025 against the U.S. dollar, up 0.03% from 87.7325 on Wednesday.

"...Considering the recent moves, it appears that the central bank is committed to preventing the rupee from depreciating further," said Abhishek Goenka, founder and chief executive of IFA Global. Meanwhile, the Indian central bank resumed its intervention in the non-deliverable forwards (NDF) market last week, marking a return to a tool it had mostly avoided so far under governor Sanjay Malhotra. Live Events The RBI stepped in on Tuesday to prevent the rupee from breaching its record low of 87.95, traders said. Forex reserves dropped over $9 billion last week, likely due to spot and NDF market intervention. The rupee slid 1.2% in the week to Aug. 1, its steepest fall in nearly three years. Other Asian currencies also shrugged off Trump's tariff threats. The South Korean won advanced 0.3%, while the Indonesian rupiah climbed 0.4%. Dollar index was flat at 98.184 as of 1017 GMT, despite weak U.S. jobs data raising expectations for a rate cut in September in the world's largest economy. India's equity benchmarks, the BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 both closed 0.1% higher despite Trump's announcements.

Bass Strait Triangle: Inside Australia's own Bermuda Triangle of Lost aircraft, missing ships, and maritime myths
As the search for a missing light aircraft carrying two Tasmanians enters its sixth day over the Bass Strait, renewed attention is being drawn to the region's long-standing reputation as a maritime mystery zone, often dubbed the 'Bass Strait Triangle.' Located between mainland Australia and Tasmania, Bass Strait is a shallow yet notoriously volatile body of water. With an average depth of just 50 metres and a length of over 300 kilometres, it poses significant navigational challenges. Productivity Tool Zero to Hero in Microsoft Excel: Complete Excel guide By Metla Sudha Sekhar View Program Finance Introduction to Technical Analysis & Candlestick Theory By Dinesh Nagpal View Program Finance Financial Literacy i e Lets Crack the Billionaire Code By CA Rahul Gupta View Program Digital Marketing Digital Marketing Masterclass by Neil Patel By Neil Patel View Program Finance Technical Analysis Demystified- A Complete Guide to Trading By Kunal Patel View Program Productivity Tool Excel Essentials to Expert: Your Complete Guide By Study at home View Program Artificial Intelligence AI For Business Professionals Batch 2 By Ansh Mehra View Program Also Read: Police rule out foul play as search for missing Tasmanian plane enters sixth day over Bass Strait by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 15 Most Beautiful Female Athletes in the World Click Here The area is prone to sudden weather shifts, powerful tidal flows, and wave patterns that can scatter wreckage widely. These conditions have contributed to the region's grim reputation for unexplained disappearances . Live Events Echoes of the Bermuda Triangle Like its Atlantic counterpart, the Bermuda Triangle, the Bass Strait Triangle has become the subject of speculation and mystery over the decades. According to the website dozens of aircraft and vessels have vanished or encountered trouble in the area, incidents often later attributed to harsh maritime conditions or mechanical failure, but not without fuelling tales of the unexplained. The comparisons are not new. Local myths and conspiracy theories, often spurred by media and maritime lore, suggest that the Strait harbours unknown forces. Some point to electromagnetic anomalies, while others suggest even more far-fetched causes, such as UFOs or time warps, narratives reminiscent of those surrounding the Bermuda Triangle. Some of the incidents that make the Bass Strait so mysterious The most famous case linked to the Bass Strait Triangle is that of Frederick Valentich, a young pilot who disappeared in 1978 while flying a Cessna 182L from Moorabbin, Victoria, to King Island. Just before losing radio contact, Valentich reported that a strange, metallic object was hovering above him. Neither he nor the aircraft was ever found, adding to the enigma of the region. In 1973, the MV Blythe Star, a coastal freighter, vanished without a trace in the Bass Strait. Though parts of the ship were later found and some crew members survived after a harrowing ordeal, the initial disappearance added to the Strait's mystique. Other than that, an article on everything explained today listed some of the most interesting incidents that happened over this stretch of water. 1. The Disappearance of the Sloop Eliza (1797) After the ship Sydney Cove was wrecked on the Furneaux Group, the sloop Eliza, engaged in salvage operations, vanished on its return to Sydney — the first known disappearance linked to the Bass Strait. 2. A String of Lost Vessels (1838–1840) At least seven vessels travelling to or from the newly established settlement in Melbourne were lost with all hands. Wreckage from only three was ever recovered. 3. The Warship HMS Sappho Vanishes (1858) A British naval warship disappeared with over 100 crew members aboard. No positively identifiable wreckage was ever found. 4. SS Federal Lost With 31 Crew (1901) The SS Federal disappeared while carrying coal from NSW. Its wreck was only discovered in 2019, more than a century later. 5. SS Ferdinand Fischer Disappears (1906) This German cargo ship vanished in the Bass Strait without a trace. 6. The Twin Disappearances of 1920: SS Amelia J and SS Southern Cross The schooner Amelia J disappeared on 10 September 1920. While searching for her, the barquentine Southern Cross and a military search aircraft, an Airco DH. 9A, also vanished. Only the Southern Cross wreckage was later found on King Island. 7. Miss Hobart Airliner Lost (1934) A De Havilland Express plane went missing soon after entering service. Only minor wreckage was found along the Victorian coast. 8. Loina Plane Crash (1935) Another Holyman airliner, Loina , crashed near Flinders Island. All five on board died, and no bodies were recovered. 9. WWII RAAF Aircraft Disappearances (1940s) Several RAAF Bristol Beaufort bombers went missing during training exercises over Bass Strait, possibly due to inexperience and dangerous low-altitude manoeuvres. 10. The Vanishing of Brenda Hean & Max Price (1972) Their De Havilland Tiger Moth vanished en route from Tasmania to Canberra during an environmental protest flight. Sabotage was suspected but never confirmed.. 12. Yacht Charleston Disappears (1979) On its way to join the Sydney-Hobart Yacht Race, the yacht vanished without a trace. Despite the myths, experts often point to the natural hazards of the Bass Strait as the real culprits. The shifting wind patterns near Flinders Island and King Island, combined with shallow waters and rapidly changing weather, make flying or sailing across the Strait risky. The latest case of the missing Tasmanian plane As of August 7, 2025, Gregory Vaughan, 72, and Kim Worner, 66, remain missing after their light sport aircraft vanished shortly after take-off from George Town, Tasmania. The plane was bound for Hillston in New South Wales but failed to arrive, prompting a large-scale search over Bass Strait. Police have stated there is no evidence to suggest foul play and continue the search with aerial and marine patrols, again battling unpredictable conditions over the notorious waters.
