India on Saturday strongly rejected a reference to Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the investigative files related to Jeffrey Epstein, describing it as "little more than trashy ruminations by a convicted criminal" that deserves to be dismissed with the "utmost contempt". The latest files relating to the convicted sex trafficker were released by US authorities. ADVERTISEMENT"We have seen reports of an email message from the so-called Epstein files that has a reference to the prime minister and his visit to Israel," External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said in a statement. The email is among investigative files released by the US Justice Department on Friday. Except for the headline, this story has not been edited by The Telegraph Online staff and has been published from a syndicated feed.
