Probe on as man forgets to deboard Air India Express flight in Delhi, lands in Odisha
The airline has launched an investigation to address any lapses, according to a PTI news agency report.
An Air India Express spokesperson cited in the report said, 'On July 30, a guest transiting through Delhi on another flight inadvertently continued on the aircraft onward to Bhubaneswar. An internal investigation is being conducted to identify and address any lapses, while reiterating SOPs and internal briefings across stations to prevent recurrence.'
Normally, airline staff check passengers' boarding passes and baggage during transit as part of standard procedures.
While specific details about the passenger and the aircraft could not be immediately ascertained, a source cited in the PTI report said the man flew from Srinagar to Delhi but didn't get off, as he was supposed to. The plane then continued to Bhubaneswar using the same aircraft. The crew only realised what had happened after the man informed them.

The Bureau of Civil Aviation Security has been informed and will investigate the incident.
'Repeated announcements are made asking transit passengers to head to the transfer desk. This aircraft VT-EXA was to operate to Bhubaneswar from Delhi also as IX 1128. For reasons not yet known, like perhaps the young man dozed off, he did not alight from the aircraft in Delhi once it landed here at 3.05pm,' a Times Of India report quoted a source.
The above-mentioned sources added, 'The crew then informed the pilots, who in turn informed the airline. When this aircraft landed, AI Express teams were there who put him on the return flight the same aircraft was to operate to Delhi. Once he reached here Wednesday night, the airline put him up in a hotel and then flew him to Bagdogra on Thursday.'

Tax dept probing Jane Street over possible tax treaty misuse: Report
India's tax authorities are investigating whether Jane Street violated tax laws by booking profits via its Singapore entities on its derivative trades in the Indian market, three sources briefed on the matter said. Searches at the US trading firm's India offices by the income tax department have been underway since last week, sources have said. A government source who was briefed on the matter later said that Jane Street staff were not cooperating. The tax authorities' enquiries follow a temporary ban by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi), the market regulator, which publicly alleged that the firm manipulated stock indexes through its derivatives positions. Jane Street has denied the Sebi allegations, but has not made any public comments so far on the tax investigation. The firm did not respond to a Reuters request sent to its US headquarters for comment on Monday on the latest developments. India's income tax department did not respond to Reuters request for comment. Tax authorities are investigating whether Jane Street violated the General Anti-Avoidance Rules (GAAR) by using the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) between India and Singapore to evade taxes on large profits it made on Indian derivative trades, all three sources said. The sources declined to be named because they were not authorised to speak to the media. The DTAA is designed to prevent residents from being taxed twice, while the GAAR gives a country the power to deny a particular tax benefit if it is being used solely for tax avoidance. The Indian tax authorities are looking into whether Jane Street booked larger profits on its derivatives positions in the Indian market via its Singapore entities as a way to reduce the tax burden, all three sources briefed on the matter added. Sebi's July 4 ban order showed that Jane Street made more than $4 billion trading in India from January 2023 to May 2025. Jane Street's two India entities - JSI Investments and JSI2 Investments - made a profit of 39.35 billion Indian rupees ($448.23 million), Jane Street Singapore made a profit of 256 billion rupees ($2.92 billion) and its Hong Kong entity, Jane Street Asia Trading, made a profit of 69.30 billion Indian rupees ($789.39 million), the order showed. If the tax department's probe shows the tax rules have been breached, Jane Street could be issued with a tax demand, the third source said. Tax authorities are trying to access Jane Street's accounts, which are maintained overseas, they added. The second source said Sebi had provided the tax department with the profit and loss details of four Jane Street group entities the regulator had named in its orders. Sebi did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for comment.

Vietnam, Aug 5 (PTI) Over 84,000 online gaming account user details were leaked in India in 2024, the global cybersecurity and digital privacy company Kaspersky on Tuesday said. The maximum number of leaks of gaming account user details was witnessed in Thailand, the minimum such instances were in Singapore in the Asia-Pacific (APAC)Region, it said. The APAC region has emerged as the global epicentre of gaming, with more than half of the world's gamers based here. Markets such as China, India, Japan, South Korea, and the rapidly growing economies of Southeast Asia contribute significantly to this dominance. According to Kaspersky, Thailand recorded 1,62,892 leaked cases, followed by the Philippines with 99,273, Vietnam 87,969, India 84,262, Indonesia 69,909, Malaysia 37,718, South Korea 37,097, China 18,786, Sri Lanka 10,877, and Singapore 4,262 leaked cases, the company said. The company further said that 11 million gaming account credentials were leaked last year. The region's rapid digital adoption, widespread mobile penetration, and youth-driven demand have fueled exponential growth across both casual and competitive gaming segments, it added. With nearly 1.8 billion players and growing, the gaming ecosystem in APAC is not only the largest by volume but also among the most influential in shaping global gaming trends and behaviours, the company said. 'Thus, it does not come as a surprise that the region is fast-becoming a breeding ground for data-stealing cyber threats," the company said. Addressing an event here, Adrian Hia, the company's Managing Director for Asia Pacific, said that virus threats have gone up significantly over the last two decades from one new virus threat every hour to 4,67, 000 new virus threats every day in the year 2004. The company's global non-audited revenue was at USD 822 million in 2024. Kaspersky registered 11 per cent sales growth last year.
