He is also scheduled to attend the AI Impact Summit in Delhi, underscoring growing strategic and technology ties between the two countries. Meanwhile, amid speculation that he had been dropped over alleged links to Jeffrey Epstein, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has clarified that Bill Gates will attend the summit and deliver the keynote address as planned, even as his visit triggers backlash following renewed attention on the Epstein files.In Delhi, outrage is growing after a 23-year-old man was killed in a head-on collision with an SUV allegedly driven by a minor. The victim’s mother claims the vehicle was over-speeding and performing stunt runs to film social media reels, reigniting concerns over reckless driving and enforcement failures.
