India Today
Congress MP Karti Chidambaram's close aide has been arrested by the CBI in connection with the bribe for visas case, sources have said.
The Central Bureau of Investigation has arrested S Bhaskar Raman, a close associate of Congress leader Karti P Chidambaram, in an ongoing visa corruption case following questioning late Tuesday night.

The matter pertains to a petition filed by one Nikhil Kumar Punia, who was born into an upper-caste Hindu family but supposedly converted to Buddhism later. He, along with another General Category candidate, has sought minority reservation benefits for admission to a Buddhist medical college on grounds of their purported conversion.

Energy disruption due to the war in the Middle East has exposed India's dependence on imported gas. It has prompted a policy shift mandating a switch from LPG to piped natural gas (PNG) where available. With supply constraints looming, the government is fast-tracking pipelines and pushing a nationwide transition to strengthen energy security.
