Flight 6E 449, which was en route to Mumbai, had to make an emergency landing at the Delhi airport, resulting in a tense situation for the passengers. Passengers were alarmed when the incident happened as a result of technical problems on board the plane. The IndiGo plane that was headed for Mumbai made a precautionary landing back in the nation’s capital on Friday morning, citing a “momentary foul smell” as the cause.

There was bad air quality inside the cabin for the whole thirty-minute suffering that passengers went through. Many travellers reported feeling uneasy and asked the cabin staff for help. But some travellers said they encountered resistance when they asked questions.

The passengers were uneasy because they didn’t know what to expect from the sudden emergency landing. The passengers’ discomfort due to the poor quality of the air was compounded by the crew’s constant attempts to resolve the technical issues.

In spite of the difficulties, the crew successfully landed the plane at Delhi Airport, guaranteeing the safety of every passenger. According to Indigo Airlines, an investigation has started to determine the root of the technical problems and guarantee the security of upcoming flights.

Once they had safely landed, the passengers expressed relief and gratitude for the crew’s efforts in managing the situation. Further investigation into the incident is necessary, though, because concerns about the air quality and communication with the cabin crew during the difficult situation still exist.

According to Owaisi, he honours Maryada Purushottom Lord Ram. Owaisi was asked by Nishikant Dubey if he thought of Babur as an invader.

Asaduddin Owaisi questioned on Saturday whether the consecration of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya on January 22 represented the victory of one religion over another and whether the Modi administration exclusively serves one community and one religion. Participating in a conversation over the opening of the Ram Temple, Owaisi claimed that Muslims in the nation are always being challenged to demonstrate their patriotism. “Am I speaking for Aurangzeb, Jinnah, or Babur? Citing the 2019 Supreme Court ruling that declared the demolition of the mosque to be a “egregious act,” Owaisi declared, “I respect Lord Ram but I hate Nathuram Godse who killed that person whose last words were Hey Ram.”

“Governments change over time. The chairperson, Rajendra Agarwal, responded, “There was no festival on what happened on December 6, but the festival was on the inauguration of Ram Temple. The Modi government celebrated what happened on December 6,” Owaisi stated. “You are an academic. You are also knowledgeable about law. The mosque was built inside a temple, according to the Supreme Court and ASI, the chair stated.

BJP MP Nishikant Dubey interrupted Owaisi’s reference to Babur, saying the chair should merely inquire as to whether Owaisi believes Babur to be an invader. “You first say what you consider Pushyamitra Shunga to be,” Owaisi responded. He could level temples with his armies. I am repeating that Nishikant Dubey ji is questioning Asaduddin Owaisi about Babur after so many years of independence. I could have answered questions on Jallianwala Bagh, Gandhi, and Netaji. However, you’ll question me about Babur,” Owaisi replied. According to Owaisi, PM Modi is telling Muslims that they have a choice between justice and their life.

Many people said there would be riots: Amit Shah

Amit Shah stated during the Ram Mandir controversy that the Supreme Court’s ruling served as the foundation for the temple’s opening. According to Amit Shah, no other nation has endured a lengthy judicial battle to witness the manifestation of the majority’s beliefs. “Swagat kar lo, Bhaiya. Brother, please accept it. What good is it to oppose something while everyone is celebrating?” Many people anticipated violence during the opening of Raam Mandir, but Amit Shah added that the Modi administration made sure there was no unrest.

“PM Modi conferred with all the seers to determine which rites he should execute when he was given the chance to perform the pran-pratishtha. He slept on the floor and drank only coconut water, following a strict regimen, according to Amit Shah.

New Delhi: According to people familiar with the development on Saturday, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed a money laundering case against Sameer Wankhede, the former zonal director of the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB). Wankhede is accused of demanding a ₹25 crore bribe from actor Shah Rukh Khan in exchange for not framing his son Aryan Khan in a drug case in October 2021.

A few days ago, the Financial Crimes Investigation Agency filed a first information report (FIR) against Wankhede, an Indian Revenue Service (IRS) officer, based on evidence from the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) that was filed in May of last year.

The ED is probably going to call him in for interrogation on the subject soon.

According to the officials mentioned earlier, Wankhede sued the high court, arguing that no coercive action should be taken against him, as soon as he discovered that the ED had filed a case against him.

He has already been spared coercive action in the CBI case by the high court.

The first information report (FIR) filed by the CBI on May 11, 2023 names Wankhede, intelligence officer Ashish Ranjan, former SP of NCB Vishwa Vijay Singh, and two private individuals, Kiran Gosavi and Sanville D’Souza, as accused. The FIR further claims that ₹25 crore was demanded from Shah Rukh Khan in exchange for not implicating his son Aryan in the October 2021 Cordelia drug case. The accused parties lowered their demand for bribes to ₹18 crore.

Wankhede and the other suspects in the case have previously been questioned by the CBI. The Indian Revenue Service (IRS) officer has thrown out the allegations against him, claiming that some NCB officers’ “vendetta” was the reason behind the CBI action.

Aryan Khan was Arrested on On October 3, 2021 from a Cruise party near Mumbai

On October 3, 2021, Aryan Khan was taken into custody following the contentious raid on the Cordelia cruise ship in Mumbai. On May 27, 2018, Aryan Khan received a clean sheet from a special investigative team (SIT) established by the NCB, stating that Wankhede’s accusations about his involvement in a wider drug-dealing ring were untrue.

The names of Aryan Khan and Arbaaz Merchant were tacked on to the agency’s “information note” at the last minute, according to an internal investigation conducted by NCB. Furthermore, the investigation discovered that Wankhede’s crew had not properly documented the seizure of phones or recorded statements.

In an affidavit submitted to the Bombay High Court, the NCB claimed that because Wankhede kept his conversations with actor Shah Rukh Khan “secret,” he was unable to use them as proof of his honesty.

Furthermore, the NCB stated, “it is pertinent to note that Wankhede had no reason to continue such chats with Shah Rukh Khan without informing his superior officers.” The CBI is presently examining these conversations as part of its investigation against the officer.

According to PTI news agency, journalist Nikhil Wagle was heading to an event on Friday when he allegedly came under attack in Pune in his car by BJP activists. Wagle’s comments criticising Prime Minister Narendra Modi and LK Advani during the ruling party patriarch’s Bharat Ratna award infuriated the saffron party workers.

According to an official from the Deccan police station, BJP members threw ink on the car carrying Wagle and two other people, Aseem Sarode and Vishwambhar Choudhary, who were being driven under police protection to the Rashtra Seva Dal-organized ‘Nirbhay Bano’ event in the Singhad Road area here.

Attending the event were MLA Rohit Pawar, Congress city unit head Arvind Shinde, and Prashant Jagtap of the NCP Sharadchandra Pawar party.

“Police officials said they will question me regarding the case filed for my comments on Monday,” Wagle stated.

At the Vishrambaug police station, a senior official had announced, “Wagle has been booked under Sections 153A (promoting enmity between different groups), 500 (defamation), and 505 (statements conducing to public mischief) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).

Following Wagle’s purported post following Bharat Ratna’s announcement to Advani labelling him and the prime minister as “rioters,” the BJP issued a threat.

“If the police don’t forbid the gathering, the head of the Pune City BJP has threatened to disrupt our Nirbhay Bano assembly at Sane Guruji Smarak tomorrow evening. This meeting, friends, is against unannounced emergencies. Wagle had stated on Thursday in a post on X, “We have to preserve our democracy.”

In the meantime, Wagle declared, “I forgive all those who attacked me,” at the public programme. This was the eighth attack on me in the previous six.

A viral video reveals the incident that took place at Mauris Noronha’s office in IC Colony, Borivali (West). During the attack, Ghosalkar was shot in the shoulder and abdomen.

Initial inquiries indicate that a persistent rivalry existed between Ghosalkar, a former corporator and the son of Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Vinod Ghosalkar, and Noronha, a social worker with political ambitions. Residents mentioned a struggle for dominance in the area between these two men, whose offices were next to each other.

It has been reported that Mauris Noronha intended to run for office and had exchanged multiple social media images with politicians. Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut has criticized the government’s handling of the situation in light of his current interactions with the chief minister of Maharashtra and other politicians.

This event adds to the spate of political violence that has recently occurred in Maharashtra, including the shooting in Ulhasnagar of Shiv Sena leader Mahesh Gaikwad by BJP MLA Ganpat Gaikwad. The event, which happened during a disagreement over a land issue, wounded politicians as well as those who endorsed them, highlighting the increasing pressure in the state’s political system.

The incident happened in Mumbai at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus. Information that is currently available indicates that ₹1.2 lakh worth of bathroom fixtures have disappeared from running rooms, public restrooms, and newly built AC restrooms. According to reports, the thefts happened on February 5 and 6. About seventy items, including pillar cocks, pipes, toilet seat covers, jet sprays, and bottle holders, were stolen during this period.

A Central Railway official stated that since only authorized personnel are allowed access to the running rooms, it appears likely that an insider is involved. Even contract laborers could be involved, the official said. The restrooms lack CCTV cameras, which makes identification difficult.

According to reports, each jet spray was worth ₹1600, so the total value of the stolen goods was ₹19,200. Six pillar cocks, worth ₹28,716 total, are also missing. It is noteworthy that on January 4th, the AC restrooms were made available to passengers.

The sale, use, and promotion of hookah products—including flavoured and unflavored hookah molasses, shisha, and other brands—as well as their consumption are prohibited.

According to a World Health Organization (WHO) report that was cited by the government, 22.8% of adults in Karnataka use tobacco, with 8.8% of them being addicted. Additionally, according to the WHO report, 23.9% of adults are exposed to secondhand smoke in public areas.

“Hookah bars are potential fire hazards,” the Karnataka government stated in its order. The Fire Safety Act and the Karnataka Fire and Emergency Services Act cannot be broken by the state. Hookah makes places like restaurants, bars, and hotels dangerous. It negatively impacts public health.

Action on violators

The state government declared that those who disobey the ban will face legal action under the Indian Penal Code, the Fire and Emergency Services Act, the Food Safety and Standards Act, the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, the Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products (COTPA) Act, 2003, the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, and the Karnataka Poison (Poison (Possession and Sale) Rules, 2015.
