A derogatory remark about Indians by former Norwegian diplomat Terje Rød-Larsen surfaced in newly released Epstein files. The alleged email, dated December 25, 2015, stated: "When you meet an Indian and a snake, kill the Indian first!" The comment was reportedly made in response to a message forwarded by Jeffrey Epstein from an Indian politician. Rød-Larsen previously served as president of the International Peace Institute and UN envoy, resigning in 2020 after his Epstein connections emerged. The US Justice Department released over three million pages related to Epstein, referencing numerous influential figures including tech executives, financiers, and foreign dignitaries. All named individuals deny involvement in Epstein's crimes. (PC: Reuters)
