Epstein Files resurface in Times Now bombshell
MUMBAI: The ghost of Jeffrey Epstein refuses to rest quietly. In a Times Now Global Exclusive that’s shaken the corridors of power, survivor Reena Oh and veteran investigative journalist Barry Levine have reignited the world’s most chilling scandal, hinting that the darkest secrets may still lie buried in classified files.
Speaking with Times Now and Times Now Navbharat group editor-in-chief Navika Kumar, the duo revealed shocking new details about the Epstein network, the alleged cover-ups, and the silence that continues to shield the powerful.
The revelations follow the leak of Virginia Giuffre’s memoir, which reportedly includes explosive rape allegations against a man described as a “prime minister.” Levine disclosed that more than 100,000 pages of FBI documents on Epstein remain sealed, potentially containing multiple references to former U.S. president Donald Trump. “Epstein and Trump were friends for nearly 15 years,” Levine said, adding that the two were photographed and filmed together at private events.
Reena Oh, who survived Epstein’s circle of abuse, offered a haunting account of Ghislaine Maxwell’s home, describing “a closet full of sadistic objects” that stood as proof of the horrors endured by young girls. She confirmed she had cooperated with the U.S. Department of Justice and the FBI, helping investigators piece together parts of Maxwell’s prosecution.
“Oh, many survivors have stopped speaking out,” she said quietly. “They’re scared. Some have even received death threats. That’s why the Epstein files must be made public.”
Levine echoed her call for transparency. “Until those files are released,” he said, “justice remains unfinished and democracy untested.”
With Maxwell already convicted and Epstein’s network still under scrutiny, the storm around his legacy is far from over. As Navika Kumar summed it up on air, “The truth is in those files. It’s time the world learns what power tried to bury.”
The full interview airs tonight at 9:30 pm on Times Now, in The Epstein Files: The Secrets, The Silence, The Survivors, a broadcast that promises to raise more questions than it answers.

Network18 Q4 revenue grows 9.7 per cent, EBITDA at Rs 30 crore
PAT improves to Rs 306.6 crore, margins steady amid cost pressures.
MUMBAI: Not all news is breaking, some of it is quietly improving. Network18 Media & Investments Limited appears to be doing just that, tightening losses and stabilising margins even as costs continue to weigh on the business. For FY26, the company reported revenue from operations of Rs 1,955.1 crore, up from Rs 1,896.2 crore in FY25, signalling modest top-line growth in a challenging media environment. Total income stood at Rs 1,978.2 crore, compared to Rs 1,913 crore a year earlier.
Profit after tax came in at Rs 306.6 crore for the year, a sharp turnaround from Rs 3,225.4 crore in FY25, largely reflecting the absence of large exceptional items that had inflated the previous year’s numbers. On a more comparable basis, the company’s operating performance showed signs of gradual stabilisation.
However, the quarterly picture remained under pressure. For the March quarter, Network18 reported a loss of Rs 53.1 crore, narrower than the Rs 98.1 crore loss in the same period last year, but still indicative of ongoing cost challenges.
Expenses continued to track high. Total expenses for FY26 stood at Rs 2,235.7 crore, up from Rs 2,197.8 crore in FY25. Key cost heads included operational expenses of Rs 765.9 crore, employee benefits of Rs 475.9 crore, and marketing, distribution and promotional spends of Rs 427.1 crore, underlining the continued investment required to sustain reach and engagement.
At an operating level, margins remained under strain. Operating margin stood at 2.33 per cent for FY26, marginally higher than 1.77 per cent in FY25, while net profit margin remained negative at -13.02 per cent, though improved from -14.89 per cent.
On the balance sheet, total assets rose to Rs 8,957.6 crore as of 31 March 2026, from Rs 8,317.5 crore a year earlier. Equity strengthened to Rs 4,958.7 crore, while borrowings increased to Rs 3,112.8 crore, reflecting a higher reliance on debt to support operations.
Cash flows told a mixed story. While financing activities generated Rs 83.9 crore, operating cash flow remained negative at Rs -24 crore, highlighting ongoing pressure on core cash generation. Cash and cash equivalents, however, improved to Rs 33.9 crore from Rs 1.8 crore.
The numbers point to a company in transition growing revenues, trimming losses, but still grappling with structural cost pressures. In a sector where scale often comes at a price, Network18 seems to be inching towards balance, one quarter at a time.
