The Department of Telecommunications issued blocking directions on July 21 and September 2, covering 34 and 95 websites respectively. The instructions relied on documents attributed to the Rajasthan High Court and Allahabad High Court, neither of which could be located in the courts’ official records.

The Allahabad High Court filed a complaint on November 6 after an internal examination established that an order supposedly issued by Justice Garima Prashad on August 14 did not exist. Police registered a case against unidentified persons under provisions covering cheating, forgery and the use of forged documents.

Court records show that the purported order cited writ petition number 30480 of 2026. A technical examination submitted on November 3 found no corresponding petition or judicial order in the court’s electronic database. The judge’s private secretary separately confirmed that she had passed no such order.

Ghanshyam Yadav, a senior cybercrime official in Uttar Pradesh, confirmed that the document was fabricated. No arrests had been announced by Wednesday. Police are examining how the correspondence originated and how the purported judicial direction reached the telecommunications department.

The Rajasthan High Court’s registrar separately stated that the document attributed to that court appeared fraudulent and was absent from its server. The two findings raise questions about how official blocking instructions were issued without the underlying judicial documents being authenticated.

The forged documents carried blue court seals featuring the national emblem, giving them the appearance of authentic judicial communications. The purported Allahabad order also included a QR code, ordinarily used to check documents, but its destination displayed only a case number rather than an authenticated court record.

A person identifying himself as advocate Kartikey Pandey emailed the Allahabad document to government officials on August 22. The correspondence subsequently circulated among officials, including a request for an action-taken report. On September 2, the department instructed internet providers to take immediate steps to restrict access to 95 listed betting websites.

The other document reached the department on July 19 in an email signed by Aryan Chaudhary, who described himself as an advocate-on-record. It demanded implementation within 24 hours and invoked legal powers permitting restrictions on online material in the interests of national security. Two days later, the department directed providers to block 34 websites.

An attempt to contact the email address associated with Chaudhary returned a notification that the recipient could not be found. An inquiry sent to the address used by Pandey received no response. Neither individual’s identity or involvement in preparing the documents has been established.

The Department of Telecommunications had not publicly explained how it checked the documents before circulating the blocking instructions. Both directives and their attachments remained accessible on its website on Wednesday. It was also unclear whether the affected websites remained inaccessible or whether any corrective instructions had been issued.

The episode exposes a procedural vulnerability in a system that can require internet service providers to restrict access to online content following official directions. Although the targeted websites were described as gambling platforms, the authenticity of a court order is a separate question from whether the underlying activity breaches applicable law.

The case follows another dispute over fraudulent takedown demands. Social media platform X told the Delhi High Court that notices submitted in the name of a Delhi police officer, seeking restrictions on accounts belonging to two digital rights organisations, had been found to be fake. Police subsequently registered a separate investigation.

The Allahabad High Court complaint identified several provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita concerning forged records and deception. Investigators are seeking to establish the source of the emails, the people responsible for producing the documents and the circumstances in which they were processed by officials.

The court’s chief justice authorised further action after the internal verification, and the registrar’s complaint was submitted to police in Prayagraj, where the disputed document was examined.

The fabricated Allahabad order bore the name of Justice Garima Prashad and purported to concern a case styled Sahil Singh versus the Director General and others. Its QR code led to a page showing the notation “Writ – A 30480/2026”, rather than a verifiable judicial entry.

Renewal provides long-term certainty for ATI to advance investment in port modernisation, innovation and sustainable infrastructure

MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Media OutReach Newswire – 12 November 2026 – Asian Terminals, Inc. (ATI), DP World’s strategic partner in the Philippines, has secured a 25-year renewal of its concession to operate and develop Manila South Harbour, reinforcing its long-term commitment to supporting Philippine trade and economic growth.

The renewed concession agreement, signed with the Philippine Ports Authority (PPA), will run from May 2038 up to May 2063, providing long-term certainty for the continued development and modernisation of one of the Philippines’ key international trade gateways.

The agreement marks a significant milestone as ATI celebrates its 40th anniversary this year, reflecting four decades of investment in port infrastructure, operational capability and trade connectivity.

Essa Kazim, Executive Chairman, DP World, said:

This concession renewal provides the certainty needed to plan and invest for decades ahead.

As ATI’s partner, our focus is now on the next phase of ATI’s development, including investment in capacity, technology and more sustainable operations to ensure Manila South Harbour remains competitive, efficient and responsive to the evolving needs of customers.”

Central to this commitment is future-proofing Manila South Harbour to respond proactively to changing trade patterns, increasing cargo volumes, and the evolving needs of shipping lines, importers, exporters, and the broader logistics community.

As a key supporting event under the framework of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC), the gathering drew statesmen, diplomats and hundreds of Chinese and foreign business participants.

Building on eight years of accumulated progress and over 140 signed projects, the forum keeps focusing on delivering outcomes from the FOCAC Beijing Summit and aligning with the 10 partnership action plans.

Once again, it shined the global spotlight on Yiwu – a city with no seacoast nor border access, yet a pivotal hub for people-to-people China-Africa trade.

Inside the Yiwu International Expo Center, a three-day China-Africa trade exhibition opened ahead of the forum. Within its 10 000-square-metre hall sit 400 well-arranged booths, bringing together 186 enterprises from 15 countries.

Import-zone shelves are stocked with Ethiopian coffee, Ghanaian shea butter and Zimbabwean handicrafts. Meanwhile, a wide array of Chinese-made goods for household use, stationery, cultural-creative products and beauty cosmetics are ready to reach households across Africa.

More than two decades ago, Chinese and African merchants had to travel far and wide to source goods and secure buyers. Today, complete warehousing, customs-declaration and cross-border logistics allow exhibits to move straight from booths onto ocean-going vessels, closing the full loop from display to delivery.

Transformations extend well beyond exhibition halls.

Twenty years ago, most African traders in Yiwu acted purely as purchasers: they would fill shipping containers with selected goods and ship them back home.

On May 1 this year, China implemented zero-tariff treatment for 53 African diplomatic partners, further reshaping Sami’s business landscape. Trade is no longer a one-way “sell-out” model. Seizing this policy dividend, he began importing local Ugandan specialties such as coffee beans and chili peppers into China. Via Yiwu’s hub, these goods are then distributed to broader markets aboard the China-Europe Yiwu-Xinjiang-Europe Railway Express.

“Zero tariffs give young Africans direct access to the Chinese market and make two-way trade far more actionable,” Ugandan businessman Sami said, hoping more African traders will leverage Yiwu as a platform to bring African products to the wider world.

Like Sami, many entrepreneurs from diverse African nations regard Yiwu as their second home and serve as living, human-scale bridges connecting the two continents.

Official statistics bear witness to this shift. Between January and September 2026, Yiwu’s exports to Africa reached 135.903 billion yuan, marking a year-on-year rise of 30.18 percent.

Historically, China-Africa trade largely featured Chinese goods flowing one-way toward Africa. Today trade chains are evolving into two-way pathways. African coffee, honey and avocados are finding growing room in China’s consumer market. At the same time, Chinese enterprises are no longer content with merely delivering cargo to African ports.

Many firms are pushing supply-chain operations deeper into African local contexts. Local Yiwu-based supply-chain operators have set-up exhibition halls and 15 000-square-metre overseas warehouses in Senegal.

Conventional export business often concluded once goods departed Chinese ports. Now, end-to-end services including bulk procurement, overseas warehousing, local distribution and brand internationalisation travel alongside merchandise into Africa.

To date, Yiwu has established 28 overseas warehouses across 12 African countries. Together with offshore sub-markets and national-buyer service centers, a network spanning procurement, warehousing and distribution is taking shape, bridging Chinese supply capacity and African consumer demand.

In Yiwu, China-Africa cooperation finds tangible expression in shipping containers, grassroots commercial orders and ordinary people’s pursuit of success.

Though land-locked, Yiwu links countless towns across the African continent. The Chinese city bears witness to China-Africa trade advancing past simple commodity transactions, entering a new era of co-built supply chains, mutual market access and people-to-people cultural bonds.
