Indian Victim Confirmed in Epstein Files: DOJ Docs Reveal Search for Woman Amidst Billionaire Links

In a startling revelation from the latest tranche of US Department of Justice (DOJ) documents released this week, it has been confirmed that an Indian woman was among the victims of the disgraced financier's sex trafficking ring.

The unsealed files, which have already sent shockwaves through Western capitals, now detail specific efforts by US authorities to locate this victim in India to provide critical support—while simultaneously exposing uncomfortable links between Epstein and prominent Indian figures.

The Hunt for the Indian Victim

The most poignant discovery lies in a redacted email chain from January 2020, shortly after Epstein’s death. US officials, scrambling to manage the fallout, explicitly discussed tracing a victim believed to be living in India.

• The Document: Marked 'EFTA00038425', the email reveals officials coordinating with the FBI to offer her compensation and "6 free therapy sessions" under the New York Crime Victims Compensation program.
• The Quote: "Is there anything that can be done to help her? Would she still be eligible to receive 6 free sessions over there? Are there any resources that can be offered in India?" asks a DOJ official, highlighting the global reach of the trauma Epstein inflicted.

Billionaires and "Delhi Leadership"

Beyond the tragedy of the victim, the files have ignited a political firestorm in New Delhi. The documents contain alleged text messages and emails linking Epstein to high-profile Indian personalities between 2017 and 2019.

• Anil Ambani Links: The files allege that industrialist Anil Ambani maintained regular contact with Epstein, purportedly asking him to arrange meetings with Jared Kushner and Steve Bannon in Washington to pave the way for a VVIP visit.
• The "Modi" Reference: In one controversial email, Epstein boasts about meeting a representative of the "Delhi leadership," claiming he advised Prime Minister Modi on his 2017 Israel trip—a claim the Indian government has fiercely denied.

Official Reaction: "Trashy Ruminations"

The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has moved swiftly to dismiss the political allegations. In a sharp statement, a spokesperson labeled Epstein’s claims as "trashy ruminations of a convicted criminal," urging the public not to give credence to the boasts of a sex offender.

However, opposition parties are demanding a full probe, asking why a figure like Epstein had any access to Indian business and political elites.
