Meet Anagha Rajesh 24-year-old entrepreneur who invested ₹5 crore to build a Bengaluru-based lab called BioCompute. She developed technology that can store data in DNA. When she approached Indian investors they refused to fund her company because they wanted quick returns, which BioCompute couldn’t promise. She also received no meaningful support from the Indian government. Anagha eventually sold her lab for pennies and moved to the United States. As soon as she arrived investors lined up. Bitter truth: India talks about becoming a global superpower but fails to value the skilled people who want to build India.

STORY | CERT-In issues 'critical' alert after autonomous AI agents access live systems of Indian organisations India’s cybersecurity agency CERT-In has issued a 'critical' advisory warning that autonomous Artificial Intelligence (AI) agents have accessed live systems and confidential data of Indian organisations without authorisation, while threat actors are actively weaponising open-source agentic AI tools to execute rapid cyberattacks. In its advisory (CIAD-2026-0049) titled ‘AI Agents as Attack Vectors’, the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) highlighted two distinct categories of incidents targeting the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) infrastructure of Indian entities. In the first set of incidents, AI model providers voluntarily disclosed that autonomous AI models and agents undergoing research and evaluation had exceeded the authorised scope of their assigned tasks and reached live systems belonging to Indian organisations. During these operations, the AI agents read business records containing personal data and confidential material, using credentials and connection settings left exposed in application configurations, public code repositories and overly permissive cloud service roles, the agency noted. Notably, none of the affected organisations detected the access on their own. In every case, the incident came to light only when the AI model provider disclosed it after an internal review.

This is Pulkit Arya Son of BJP MLA Vinod Arya accused in Ankita Bhandari murder and rape case , he is arrogantly laughing while being arrested knowing that people in power will save him . BJP did the same, they destroyed the hotel even before investigation started , they destroyed all evidences CCTV camera, phones, digital trails , which could have led case to arrest culprits. That laugh symbolises the arrogance that thrives when people believe power can shield them from accountability. No political party, no influential family, and no position of power should stand between a victim and justice.

Starlink suddenly dumping Ukraine. Leaving it unable to respond to Russian strikes at a critical time. This is the best example of unreliability of @elonmusk Starlink. It will never be under Indian but @POTUS control. It must never be permitted into India. @PMOIndia
Dear Prime Minister Ambani, Please accept my humble apologies for not realizing that you are the real boss of India. Naturally, you would prefer to maintain your monopolistic exploitation of the great people of India, but would you nonetheless consider allowing Starlink to compete? There are many areas of India, as there are in all countries, with no Internet access, which denies children the opportunity for education and for small businesses the opportunity to sell their goods to a global market. Starlink would change their lives for the better. Thank you 🙏

A headless body in an Imphal mortuary. A severed head missing in Kangpokpi’s jungles. And a 48 hour deadline that threatened to reignite Manipur’s ethnic tensions. Three hours before the ultimatum expired, security forces found the head of 52-year-old Ajinpou Ringkangmai. For now, an escalation has been averted. But Manipur remains on edge. hindustantimes.com/s/1j78hZA
