Weekly News Roundup: Top Stories Of The Week | 13 September 2026
This week's top stories from India and around the world.
The second week of September saw several unusual and surprising news stories from India and around the world.
In Bihar, a man and his family were worried that their new Mahindra Scorpio might be stolen while they were travelling abroad. So, they used a crane to lift the car onto the roof of their two-storey house. A video of the unusual parking went viral, and businessman Anand Mahindra called it “next level”, while warning people not to try it themselves.
In Abu Dhabi, a father reportedly spent $408,000, around Rs.3.4 crore, on a rare pure-white falcon for his daughter. The Qarmousha Pure Ultra White falcon was sold for AED 1.5 million at the Abu Dhabi International Hunting and Equestrian Exhibition, making it the most expensive falcon sold at this year’s event.
US President Donald Trump also made headlines after promising a $5,000 “dividend” for every American adult if his party wins the November 2026 midterm elections. The proposal has faced criticism because it could cost around $1.2 trillion, while US national debt has crossed $40 trillion.
Meanwhile, a video showing a machine applying detailed mehendi designs within seconds surprised people online. Industrialist Harsh Goenka shared the video and joked that “some more jobs” were gone. However, many people believe the video could be AI-generated, and its authenticity has not been independently confirmed.
