Prime Minister Narendra Modi has arrived in New Zealand on the first visit by an Indian Prime Minister in 40 years, marking a significant milestone in bilateral relations. Welcomed with a traditional Māori Powhiri ceremony, PM Modi held talks with New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon. The two leaders elevated ties to a Strategic Partnership, unveiled the India–New Zealand Strategic Partnership Roadmap to 2030, and set an ambitious goal of doubling bilateral trade to NZ$7 billion (around ₹35,000 crore) by 2030.

The investigation into the murder of Pune businessman Ketan Agarwal has taken a significant turn after police revealed what they describe as an extensive digital trail linking the two main accused over a period of nearly three years. According to investigators, call records, online interactions and electronic evidence have helped uncover what police allege was a carefully planned conspiracy. Authorities claim the evidence points to sustained communication between Siya Goyal and Chetan Chaudhary long before the incident took place. One of the most striking details to emerge from the probe is the volume of communication between the accused. Investigators say the duo exchanged 2,004 phone calls over a six-month period, spending a combined 238 hours in conversation. Police believe this communication data forms a crucial part of their case. Authorities further allege that the conspiracy was finalized on June 16 and 17, with multiple digital platforms reportedly used to coordinate plans. Investigators claim Siya accompanied Ketan Agarwal to Lohagad Fort, while Chetan allegedly arrived separately at the location. WATCH
