Indian Counterfeit ₹500 Notes in Circulation - Public Urged to Exercise Caution

Reports indicate that counterfeit ₹500 notes are circulating in the market. These notes are reportedly difficult to distinguish from genuine currency.
The primary distinguishing feature is a subtle misspelling: "RESERVE BANK OF INDIA" appears as "RESARVE BANK OF INDIA" with an "A" instead of an "E" following the "S" in "RESERVE."
The public is advised to exercise caution while accepting ₹500 notes. Carefully inspect the notes for any discrepancies, particularly the spelling on the Reserve Bank of India watermark.

Dr. Manmohan Singh, the former prime minister of India, passes away at the age of 92. The State would give him a funeral.

He was the driving force behind India's economic liberalization in the 1990s and held the position of prime minister from 2004 to 2014. According to the hospital, the Congress veteran experienced "sudden loss of consciousness at home" and was receiving treatment for age-related ailments. "He could not be revived despite all efforts and was declared dead at 9.51pm," the statement said.

"Most distinguished leaders" is how Prime Minister Narendra Modi recalled his predecessor. Rahul Gandhi, a Congress MP, stated that he "lost a mentor and guide". The former prime minister was also honored by other leaders from different parties.

Starlink's High-Speed Internet: A Luxury for Bhutanese?

While Starlink's entry into the Bhutanese market has generated significant buzz, its high cost has raised concerns about its accessibility for the general public.

Despite registering its office in Bhutan as an FDI company, Starlink's internet plans are currently considered too expensive for many individuals. In comparison, Bhutan Telecom Ltd. and TashiCell , the country's primary telecommunications providers, offer 2 Mbps plans at Nu. 1100 and Nu. 1350, respectively.
While Starlink promises high-speed internet, its pricing makes it more suitable for businesses and institutions rather than individual households.

However, a recent parliamentary decision may further limit Starlink's potential market share. The government has approved an additional 50% reduction in data charges from TashiCell and Bhutan Telecom, making their plans even more affordable. This move is expected to sway many consumers away from Starlink, as it offers a more cost-effective alternative.

TikToker's Tragic Demise: Businessman Arrested for Online Harassment

A 37-year-old businessman has been detained by the Royal Bhutan Police for his alleged involvement in the tragic su***de of a 20-year-old TikToker. The arrest, which took place on November 27, stems from accusations of online harassment, the distribution of obscene content, and engaging in lewd and lascivious behavior.
The police investigation revealed that the suspect employed a fake TikTok account to clandestinely record a live conversation between the deceased and her followers. This recording was subsequently uploaded to his own TikTok profile, exposing the victim to further harassment and humiliation. With the cooperation of TikTok's data center, authorities were able to identify the individual behind the fake account.
A Call for Digital Vigilance
This tragic incident serves as a stark reminder of the potential dangers of online harassment and cyberbullying. As technology continues to evolve, it is imperative for individuals to exercise caution and responsibility in their online interactions.

The Royal Bhutan Police urges the public to:
* Be Mindful of Online Activity: Refrain from sharing personal information or engaging in activities that could compromise privacy.
* Report Cybercrime: If you witness or experience online harassment or cyberbullying, report it to the authorities immediately.
* Promote Digital Literacy: Educate yourself and others about the risks associated with online behavior and the importance of digital safety.
By working together, we can create a safer and more compassionate online environment.
