Can a plate of South Asian delicious biryani, which costs €3.36, make a man entitled to a woman’s body? The debate has erupted on social media in India after a stand-up comedy clip went viral in which a man said buying a woman biryani on a date made him feel entitled to sexual access in return.

Meanwhile, Indian External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar called on US Secretary of State Marco Rubio to protest the US attacks on three merchant ships with largely Indian crew in Oman. Three Indian sailors were killed in one attack.

Additionally, the Indian Army laid a trap and captured a 21-year-old man who was posing as a senior Army officer.
