1. China Defies Trump’s 125% Tariffs, Threatens Retaliation 

China delivered a defiant reaction on Thursday to the latest tariff increase by U.S. President Donald Trump, which raised duties on Chinese products to an eye-watering 125 percent while giving other countries a 90-day tariff reprieve. In a typical news briefing, the Foreign Ministry’s Lin Jian asserted that Beijing isn’t hungry for a conflict but won’t shy away from further U.S. pressure. “The U.S. approach doesn’t enjoy popular support and will be sure to fail,” he stated, guaranteeing China will not sit back and see people’s rights walk all over themselves. The action followed Trump’s decision to exclude China from the waiver, with Beijing announcing “countermeasures” and imposing an 84 percent tariff on US goods, turning down what it termed as “tax blackmail.” Trump, criticizing foreign tariffs imposed on US goods, accused countries of “looting” the US economy. While Asian markets breathed a sigh of relief at the hiatus—Japan’s Nikkei 225 jumped 8 percent, South Korea’s Kospi rose more than 5 percent, and Australia’s ASX 200 gained 5 percent in morning trade—there is a long shadow looming over global trade stability from the U.S.-China confrontation.

2. David Headley: The 26/11 Plotter and Rana’s Childhood Friend 

As Tahawwur Hussain Rana, the central figure of the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, takes a special flight to India on Thursday—his extradition finalized by the U.S. Supreme Court’s denial of his last request—the focus shifts to his childhood friend, David Coleman Headley. The 64-year-old Rana, who is accused of being connected with the bloodshed in which 166 people were killed, depended on Headley, a Pakistani-American terrorist, whose scouting led the way for the attack. Born Daood Sayed Gilani in Washington, D.C., to a Pakistani diplomat and an American mother, Headley spent his childhood in Pakistan with his friend Rana at a military boarding school. After moving to the U.S., he became a barman in Philadelphia, but his life took a dark turn—convicted of heroin smuggling in 1998, he spent two years before switching to help the DEA in Pakistan. Between 2002 and 2005, he was trained by Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), and between 2006 and 2008, he cased Mumbai targets such as the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel and Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus under the guise of Rana’s immigration company. It was in 2009 that he was arrested for conspiring against a Danish newspaper and the Mumbai attacks. Headley pleaded guilty in 2010, evading death row for a 35-year sentence by divulging LeT secrets, leaving Rana to India’s justice.

3. Kerala CM’s Daughter T Veena in SFIO Crosshairs Over Payment Scandal 

Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan came out firing Thursday, labeling the Serious Fraud Investigation Office’s (SFIO) investigation of his daughter T Veena’s IT company, Exalogic, as a political hatchet job squarely directed at him. The SFIO has indicated Veena in an “illegal payment” scandal linked to Cochin Minerals and Rutile Ltd (CMRL), but Vijayan waved it aside, saying to journalists, “You can keep dreaming of my resignation.” Disregarding Congress and BJP demands for him to resign, he bristled, “I know you want my blood, but you won’t get it so easily.” He defended the payments to Exalogic as legitimate—taxed, GST-paid, and channeled properly—accusing the media of burying the facts. Vijayan drew a contrast with the CPI(M)’s position when Kodiyeri Balakrishnan’s son was charged with laundering, observing, “There, he wasn’t the target—I am here,” indicating a party defense based on personal attack rather than principle. As the SFIO probes deeper, the saga ignites a passionate battle of politics and family in Kerala’s corridors of power.

4. Chhattisgarh’s Rail Revolution Gains Steam with Kharsia-Parmalkasa Line 

Chhattisgarh’s railway future received a huge boost with the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs approving the Kharsia-Naya Raipur-Parmalkasa rail project, one of the ₹18,658 crore package announced Thursday by Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw. The ₹8,741 crore line, described as a “new artery” to the state’s network, will connect districts such as Raigarh, Janjgir Champa, Bilaspur, Baloda Bazar, Durg, and Rajnandgaon from Odisha’s border to Maharashtra’s. Flanked by Minister of State Tokhan Sahu and CM Vishnu Deo Sai at Rail Bhavan, Vaishnaw detailed a 278 km route with 615 km of tracks, 21 stations, 48 major bridges, 349 minor ones, 14 flyovers, 184 underpasses, and five rail flyovers to ease local traffic. Carrying 21 to 38 million tons of cargo annually and accommodating eight mail, express, or semi-high-speed trains, it’ll save 22 crore litres of diesel—₹2,500 crore in expenses—while connecting cement hubs such as Baloda Bazar and the Lakshmi Narayan Temple in Bilaspur. Sahu called it a “huge gift” to Chhattisgarh’s 3 crore citizens, attributing it to PM Modi and Vaishnaw for a connectivity game-changer.

5. Tragedy Hits as Newlywed Air India Express Pilot Dies of Cardiac Arrest 

Air India Express was shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere on Wednesday after a 28-year-old pilot, who had just gotten married, died of a cardiac arrest. The airline lamented, “We deeply regret the loss of a valued colleague due to a medical condition,” offering condolences to his bereaved family and requesting privacy amidst rumors. The death of the young pilot focused on controversies around pilot fatigue at the same time the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) is pursuing a roadmap to curb strain. According to an HT report, the DGCA’s February proposal to the Delhi High Court—to implement starting July 1, 2025—increases weekly rest from 36 to 48 hours and reduces night flying from November 1, 2025. The February 24 court order sealed this timeline, but for one family, the modifications have come too late, a poignant loss in the air.

6. Krafton Faces Data Sale Allegations as Bombay HC Sets Hearing 

The creator of Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI), Krafton India, finds itself in a soup as FIR charges the game giant with selling user data over Telegram, a Talkesport.com report shows. Filed in September by Maharashtra’s Santosh Torane with Akluj Police, the complaint alleges Krafton and four execs violated a 2021 service agreement, selling subscriber information for ₹2,000 each, violating confidentiality under IPC Sections 120-B (conspiracy), 420 (cheating), and IT Act Sections 72, 72A, and 85. Following police inaction on his November 2023 appeals, Torane approached the Malshiras Judicial Magistrate, which in August 2024 directed an inquiry under CrPC Section 156(3). Krafton retaliated by moving Bombay High Court relief, with Justices Sarang V Kotwal and Dr Neela Gokhale grouping the petitions for hearing on April 15, 2025, extending interim orders. The battle sees a gamer’s faith pitted against a corporate giant in an online battle.

7. Reliance Brands Mourns Loss of Former MD Darshan Mehta 

The fashion industry saddened on Wednesday when Darshan Mehta, Reliance Brands Limited’s (RBL) previous managing director, passed away at 64 years old. The chartered accountant began his journey as president at Arvind Brands before steering RBL at the helm of Reliance Industries from 2007, carving it into a lifestyle powerhouse to cater to upmarket tastes. Stepping into a non-executive director position in November last year, he has left behind a portfolio of more than 50 brands—worldwide icons Burberry, Jimmy Choo, and Tiffany & Co., in addition to Indian designers Manish Malhotra and Ritu Kumar. From Brooks Brothers to Hamleys, Mehta’s vision introduced luxury to Indian shores, combining global pizzazz with home-grown talent, a feat lamented by peers and industry observers alike as a towering figure departs the scene.

9. Gujarat Titans Overwhelm Rajasthan Royals to Take IPL Pinnacle 

Gujarat Titans (GT) stormed to the IPL summit Thursday, thrashing Rajasthan Royals (RR) by 58 runs at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium. Sai Sudharsan’s dynamite 82 from 53—replete with eight fours and three sixes—spurred GT to 217/6 after RR chose to bowl. With the loss of Shubman Gill for 2, Sudharsan shared partnership with Jos Buttler (36 off 25) and Shahrukh Khan (36 off 20), while there was late fury in the shots blasted by Rahul Tewatia and Rashid Khan. RR’s run-chase derailed soon as Sanju Samson (41 off 28), Shimron Hetmyer (52 off 32), and Riyan Parag (26 off 14) batted isolated salvos amid a tightening up by GT’s bowling unit. Jofra Archer’s tidy 1/30 couldn’t save RR, who folded at 159 in 19.2 overs, handing GT a commanding victory.

10. Sidhu Roasts Rayudu Over Dhoni Commentary Gaffe

The IPL airwaves crackled Tuesday with a playful jab as Navjot Singh Sidhu took Ambati Rayudu to task over his over-the-top commentary on MS Dhoni’s entry during Chennai Super Kings’ (CSK) clash with Punjab Kings. With CSK sitting at 151/5 chasing 220, Dhoni walked out needing 69 from 25 balls, creating a frenzy among the crowd. Sidhu joked, “He’s running down the stairs; you can see the will in his stride,” but Rayudu went all guns blazing: “MS Dhoni is walking out with a sword, not a bat. The sword will be used tonight.” Sidhu retorted, “You’re speaking as if he’s come here for war, not cricket! ” Rayudu, undeterred, kept gushing over his ex-captain, despite Dhoni’s 27 falling short in CSK’s 18-run loss—their fourth in five games.At 43, Dhoni’s 103 runs in five matches show grit, but his finishing spark dims, leaving Sidhu’s dig a light moment in a tough season.
