What Did Apple Do To Deserve A $38 Billion Fine In India? Here Is The Full Story

What Did Apple Do To Deserve A $38 Billion Fine In India? Here Is The Full Story

Apple has pushed back hard against India's competition regulator, accusing its investigators of reproducing claims made by rivals rather than conducting any independent analysis. In a formal submission dated June 25, the company asked the Competition Commission of India to throw out its findings entirely.  The move escalates a long-running dispute between Apple and the CCI, which had privately concluded in 2024 that Apple engaged in "abusive conduct" related to its App Store payment policies. How Apple Is Challenging The CCI's Investigation According to a report by MacRumors, Apple's June 25 submission to the Competition Commission of India, reviewed by Reuters, included tables intended to demonstrate that the regulator's investigation team had simply reproduced filings from opponents in the case, including Match, Walmart's Indian payments app PhonePe, and Indian rival Paytm.  "The DG [Director General] made no effort whatsoever to independently verify or critically assess these statements, often parroting them verbatim," Apple said.

The company further argued that officials failed to grant it "a single opportunity to record its statements and provide oral evidence" during the probe, while Google was reportedly given several chances to defend itself in a similar case. Apple denied all allegations, describing itself as a "minuscule player" holding under 6% of India's smartphone market. It warned that any forced changes to its App Store could disrupt its business model and "create regulatory uncertainty and could deter investments in India's digital economy." What Is At Stake For Apple In India Right Now The CCI has accused Apple of stalling the case for over two years by withholding responses and pursuing a separate legal challenge to India's antitrust penalty law, which allows fines of up to 10% of a company's global turnover over three years. Under that calculation, Apple has estimated its potential financial exposure at as much as $38 billion.

The company is also separately contesting in a New Delhi court whether the penalty law, which took effect in 2024, should apply to the full 2022-2024 period under review. The dispute plays out as India becomes increasingly important to Apple's global operations. The country is set to manufacture 26% of the world's iPhones in 2026, up from just 6% four years ago.

Taliban Launches Fresh Border Strikes On Pakistan After Deadly Air Raids; Tensions Escalate Along Frontier

Afghanistan's Taliban forces carried out fresh strikes on targets along the Pakistan border on Wednesday, injuring several people in Pakistan's southwestern Balochistan province and marking another sharp escalation in tensions between the neighbouring countries. Afghanistan's armed forces said the strikes targeted sites in Pakistan's Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces that were allegedly being used as bases by the Islamic State Khorasan (IS-K), an affiliate of the Islamic State group. According to Afghanistan-based TOLOnews, the Afghan defence ministry said the targeted locations were being used to plan sabotage operations and attacks against civilians inside Afghanistan. It added that the strikes were carried out with precision, inflicting heavy casualties and significant material losses on the group while causing no civilian casualties. ALSO READ | Bangladesh Hindu Law Student, Also Working As Priest, Kidnapped And Tortured In Dhaka Pakistan Says Drones Shot Down, Warns of Response Pakistan's military said it had shot down four rudimentary drones following the cross-border strikes and warned that any further provocation "would receive a befitting response". The latest exchange comes only days after Pakistan conducted airstrikes inside Afghanistan that killed at least 28 civilians, according to Afghan authorities. Islamabad, however, maintained that those killed in the operation were militants. The renewed military action has heightened concerns over the fragile security situation along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, where both countries have repeatedly accused each other of harbouring militant groups. India Condemns Pakistan's Earlier Airstrikes Earlier this week, India criticised Pakistan's airstrikes in Afghanistan, describing them as "reckless" and a "blatant act of aggression" that endangered regional peace and stability. In a statement issued on Monday, India's Ministry of External Affairs said it "strongly condemns" the Pakistani airstrikes carried out on Afghan territory during the intervening night of Sunday and Monday. Pakistan had said those strikes targeted terrorist hideouts. India said the attacks resulted in civilian casualties, including women and children, and described them as an assault on Afghanistan's sovereignty. The statement also accused Pakistan of attempting to externalise its internal challenges through cross-border military action.

Afghanistan and Pakistan had agreed to a ceasefire in October following weeks of deadly clashes along the border. Despite the agreement, intermittent cross-border exchanges and airstrikes have continued to claim lives in recent months, according to officials from both countries. In February, border clashes left dozens of people dead. Earlier in June, Pakistan launched airstrikes that it said killed 26 militants. Afghanistan's Taliban administration, however, said 13 people, most of them children, were also killed in those strikes.

Bangladesh Hindu Law Student, Also Working As Priest, Kidnapped And Tortured In Dhaka

A 25-year-old Hindu law student, who also occasionally serves as an assistant priest at a temple, was allegedly abducted, assaulted and held for ransom after being picked up from Dhaka's Wari area in Bangladesh, according to police and local media reports. The victim, identified as Subhash Deuri, is undergoing treatment at Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH). A first-year student at Central Law College in Old Dhaka, Deuri also occasionally performs religious rituals at the central temple of Jagannath University in the absence of the regular priest. Authorities have not established whether Deuri was targeted because of his religion. Police have launched an investigation into the incident as officials continue to examine the circumstances surrounding the alleged abduction.

He managed to escape early on Tuesday before contacting his roommate, who took him to Dhaka Medical College Hospital for treatment. His sister, Jaya, told Bangladeshi news portal Bdnews24 that she received a call from Deuri's phone at around 1 a.m. on Tuesday. An unidentified caller allegedly demanded 30,000 Bangladeshi Taka as ransom. She said the abductors provided a bank account for the payment. After 26,000 Bangladeshi Taka was transferred to the account, Deuri was reportedly left on a street in the Old Dhaka area. A relative, Dipu Barman, told The Daily Star that Deuri suffered fractures to his leg and hip and would require surgery. Police Investigating Sequence of Events Mofizur Rahman, officer-in-charge of Wari Police Station, told The Daily Star that Deuri informed investigators he had gone to a temple in Swamibagh on Monday night when several people allegedly abducted him and confined him inside a house. According to the police officer, Deuri later escaped by jumping from part of the building during the early hours of Tuesday. He sustained injuries while making the escape. Police said the investigation is continuing. ALSO READ | Setback For Imran Khan As Pakistan SC Returns Appeal In £190m Case Temple Committee Clarifies Victim's Role Following reports describing Deuri as a temple priest, Jagannath University's central temple committee clarified that he was not the institution's permanent priest. Anik Kumar Das, member secretary of the temple committee, said the regular priest is Saikat Pathak and that Deuri only occasionally performed religious rituals in his absence. He also stated that the incident had no connection with the university temple and noted that the committee had issued a clarification on its Facebook page. Meanwhile, Kajal Debnath, spokesperson for the Bangladesh Hindu Buddhist Christian Unity Council, told PTI that the organisation was gathering details of the incident and was trying to determine whether it was an abduction for ransom or a case of mugging. Deuri is a resident of Magura district in Bangladesh's Khulna division, about 170 kilometres west of Dhaka, and had been living in a rented apartment with a friend in the capital, according to local media reports.
