Russian woman, her two daughters found in Karnataka cave, visa expired in 2017
A spiritually-inclined Russian woman and her two young children were rescued from a remote cave nestled in the serene yet treacherous Ramatirtha hills of Kumta taluk in Uttara Kannada district, police said Saturday. Police identified the woman as Nina Kutina, 40, alias Mohi, who had journeyed from Russia to India on a business visa and found her way to Gokarna via Goa, drawn deeply by the Hinduism and Indian spiritual traditions. Her children, Preya (6) and Ama (4), had accompanied her into the forest, where they had been living in complete seclusion for nearly two weeks. They had made a humble home inside a natural cave surrounded by dense woods and steep slopes. There, Mohi kept a Rudra idol and spent her days in 'Puja' and meditation. It was during a routine patrol Friday, following a recent landslide that Circle Police Inspector Sridhar and his team spotted clothes hanging outside the cave. The officers made their way through the thick shrubs of Ramatirtha Hill and found Mohi and her two children in the cave. Uttara Kannada Superintendent of Police M Narayana, speaking to PTI Saturday, said, 'Our patrolling team spotted saree and other clothes hung for drying outside the cave in Ramatirtha Hill. When they went there, they spotted Mohi along with her children Preya and Ama.' He added, 'It was surprising how she and her children survived in the woods and what they ate' According to him, the woman may have reached the cave from Goa. It was also found that her visa had expired in 2017. How long she has been living in India remains unclear, he said. Narayana said, 'We have arranged her stay in an ashram, run by a Sadhvi. We have initiated the process to take her to Bengaluru from Gokarna and begin the deportation process.' With the help of a local NGO, the Russian Embassy was contacted and formalities set in motion to deport her.

No docu enough: Bengalis recount ‘detention' horror
Behrampore/Chinsurah/Kaliganj: Packed in ill-ventilated small rooms, harassed for one document after another to prove Indian citizenships, phones seized for "verification", two meals a day of flattened rice (chiwda) and jaggery — horrors from days spent in the makeshift detention camps of Odisha's Jharsuguda haunt migrants from Bengal despite their release. Traumatised, some have started returning homes, while others have stayed back in Odisha after cops asked them to report to the local police station once a week. Of those who stayed back are Newton and Amanat Ansari, picked up by Odisha Police at 3 am on July 8, along with three others. They were held for being "suspected Bangladeshis" and confined in a club. Only a fortnight back, on June 21, the duo had gone to Jharsuguda as construction labourers. Speaking to TOI, Newton said: "In camps, police tortured and thrashed those who tried to take pictures on their phones or went live on social media. Cops told us not to leave the area for two weeks." "Not all of us had phones with us, and only a few could speak to their families. The four days in detention were terrible. We showed EPICs, Aadhaar, ration card, but police asked for documents from 1971. We were released on Friday night but have been asked to stay back and report to the local thana once a week," said Amanat. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Semua yang Perlu Anda Ketahui Tentang Limfoma Limfoma Pelajari Undo The duo's relatives had to submit undertakings to local police stations, saying they were not Bangladeshis, and had no links with any banned organisation.

"I spent four days at a college hostel, heavily guarded by armed police. There were times when cops forced us to stay in the balcony overnight. Not a morsel of rice to eat, not a phone to speak to our families... the days were full of fear. Police didn't seem to be convinced with any document." Ziaul has had to stay back in Jharsuguda. His phone is still with the cops. Debashis Das, a migrant worker from Hooghly's Chinsurah, returned home on Saturday. A specialist in developing fire fighting systems, Das was working at a construction site in Odisha. "I have worked across several states, including Odisha, in 14 different projects. Never have I faced this," he said. Asked to show documents, Das showed all papers that can be expected of a citizen. In fact, even more. He had passport, Aadhaar card, PAN card, EPIC, birth certificate, secondary school certificate, and police verification certificate with him. But for Odisha cops, this wasn't enough. Das was detained, and his phone confiscated. He was barred from contacting his family or his contractor. Das's mother Bibha was close to tears as she spoke to TOI. "I thought I would not get my son back. We did not know what to do... Now, with what assurance will I send my son to work again?" "It was my son today, it will happen to others next. This can't continue," she said.

Air India crash report: 49 hours of raw data retrieved from black box using US ‘Golden Chassis'
A 'Golden Chassis' sourced from the United States enabled the successful download of 49 hours of flight data from one of the black boxes of Air India's Boeing 787-8 aircraft that crashed in Ahmedabad on June 12, claiming 260 lives. Wreckage of Air India Flight 171, a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner aircraft, one month after the crash in Ahmedabad.(PTI) The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) had retrieved the Enhanced Airborne Flight Recorders (EAFRs), commonly referred to as black boxes, and transported them to New Delhi on June 24. Typically, when flight recorders are damaged in an accident, investigators rely on a Golden Chassis—an identical recording unit—and compatible download cables sourced from other international agencies to extract data. In this case, the AAIB confirmed on Saturday that the 'Golden Chassis' and the necessary download cables to access data from the EAFR were provided by the US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). The data extraction from the forward EAFR was attempted at the AAIB laboratory in New Delhi on June 24. Investigators found the Crash Protection Module (CPM) intact and in good condition. 'The CPM was mounted on the Golden Chassis, and the raw data was downloaded from the EAFR. The downloaded flight data contained approximately 49 hours of flight data and 6 flights, including the event flight,' AAIB said in its preliminary probe report on the crash. 'The recovered audio was two hours in length and captured the event. Initial Analysis of the recorded audio and flight data has been done,' the report added. The report noted that the aft EAFR had suffered significant damage and could not be accessed using standard procedures. Investigators opened the CPM to inspect the memory card but found the damage to be extensive. The investigation is being led by Sanjay Kumar Singh, who has been appointed as the investigator-in-charge. Jasbir Singh Larhga is serving as the chief investigator. The investigation team also includes Vipin Venu Varakoth, Veeraragavan K, and Vaishnav Vijayakumar. To support the technical and operational aspects of the probe, the AAIB has roped in experienced pilots, engineers, aviation medicine specialists, aviation psychologists, and flight recorder experts as subject matter specialists.
