Former Indian Envoy Denies Epstein Links; Visa Facilitation Email Surfaces in Files

Former Indian diplomat Yashvardhan Kumar Sinha, who served as High Commissioner to the UK from 2016 to 2018, has denied social media claims linking him to Jeffrey Epstein and his activities. The Ministry of External Affairs dismissed references to Prime Minister Modi's 2017 Israel visit in the Epstein Files as baseless. Separately, TMC MP Mahua Moitra highlighted an email from the files showing Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri facilitating a visa for Epstein's assistant, amid ongoing scrutiny of the released documents.
