Doctor threatens to crash Air India Express flight, deboarded in Bengaluru
The passenger was identified as Vyas Hiral Mohanbhai, a resident of Shivanahalli near Yelahanka, who was travelling alone with two bags.
Passenger refuses to comply with crew, issues mid-air threat
According to police, the Ayurvedic doctor bypassed the check-in counter and insisted on carrying both bags into the cabin. Once on board, she left one bag near the crew cabin and took the other to her seat (20F), violating airline baggage protocol.
When the cabin crew asked her to store the bag in the overhead bin above her seat, she refused and demanded that the crew take responsibility for it. Despite repeated instructions from both the crew and the captain, she refused to comply and became verbally abusive.
Fellow passengers attempted to calm her down, but she reportedly shouted at them as well. At one point, she allegedly threatened to crash the aircraft if the crew moved her bag.
CISF intervenes as captain raises security alert
The captain subsequently alerted security, and Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel were called to the aircraft. They boarded the plane and escorted Mohanbhai off the flight. The disturbance lasted from approximately 2.45 pm to 5.30 pm on June 17, as per a complaint filed by Agnimitra Bahinipati, associate manager of security at Kempegowda International Airport (KIA).
Doctor remains disruptive at police station
Police said the woman's disruptive behaviour continued at the KIA police station, where she allegedly abused and manhandled officers. 'This was the first time we heard such abusive language in the station,' a senior officer said.
Her husband, who works at an educational institution in Bengaluru and is originally from Odisha, told police that she had stopped practising medicine and was on her way to Gujarat to visit family. He also confirmed that she had caused disturbances in public places previously. Authorities are now verifying her background.

Bangladeshi citizen held with fake passport at airport
Thiruvananthapuram: A Bangladeshi national was arrested at Thiruvananthapuram International Airport with a fake passport and forged documents while trying to fly to a Gulf nation on an Air India Express flight. Police identified the arrested person as Suman Chowdhary, 29, of Chittagong. During questioning, he admitted that he was a Bangladeshi national and was planning to migrate to Europe from the Gulf. Central and state intelligence officers then questioned him and he reportedly told the officers that it was difficult for Bangladeshi citizens to migrate to Europe. Due to this, they move to the Gulf and process visa applications to migrate to Europe from there. The accused secured a fake passport from Bengaluru using a fake Aadhaar card. Later, he reached Thiruvananthapuram via train. The accused was remanded after being produced before a court on charges under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita sections 336 (2) for forgery, 336 (3) for committing forgery for the purpose of cheating, 340 (2) for fraudulent use of a forged document and 319 for cheating by personation, section 14A of the Foreigners Act-1946 and 12(1A) of the Passports Act.

Rush Hour: Karnataka asked to justify ACP's suspension, Patanjali to halt ‘disparaging' ads and more
We're building a brand-new studio to bring you bold ground reports, sharp interviews, hard-hitting podcasts, explainers and more. The Delhi High Court restrained yoga guru Ramdev's Patanjali Ayurved from running allegedly disparaging advertisements about consumer goods company Dabur's Chyawanprash product. The court passed the interim order on a plea filed by Dabur, which alleged that Patanjali Ayurved was disparaging its product by claiming that no other manufacturer had the knowledge to prepare it. Dabur argued that it was misleading and harmful to label other brands as 'ordinary'. The statements misrepresented Patanjali Ayurved's own formulation, questioned Dabur's adherence to Ayurvedic tradition and branded Dabur's product as inferior, the petition alleged. Dabur also claimed that Patanjali Ayurved was a habitual offender, citing earlier orders in contempt proceedings against the Ramdev-led company for similar advertising conduct. Read on. The Karnataka High Court asked the state government to justify the continued suspension of Bengaluru's Additional Commissioner of Police Vikash Kumar Vikash after the June 4 stampede outside the Chinnaswamy Stadium, which killed 11 persons. The government had suspended Vikash and four other police officers, accusing them of dereliction of duty. Vikash had challenged the suspension before the Central Administrative Tribunal. On Tuesday, the tribunal quashed the order, saying that the officer had been suspended without sufficient grounds. It had also directed the state government to reinstate Vikash immediately. The state government moved the High Court challenging the tribunal's order. On Thursday, the High Court asked whether transferring the police officer would have been a sufficient measure instead.

'Nobody else has the right to decide it except him and the conventions in place,' said Union minister Kiren Rijiju. This came after China on Wednesday said that the Dalai Lama's reincarnation needed to be approved by the Chinese government. Beijing said that the succession must follow Chinese laws as well as 'religious rituals and historical conventions'. The statement was in response to the 14th Dalai Lama stating that the Gaden Phodrang Trust held the sole prerogative to decide on his successor, and that no one else had the authority to interfere in the matter. The trust is a non-profit organisation set up by the current Tibetan spiritual leader in 2015 to support the institution of the Dalai Lama. Read on. The Mumbai Police told the Bombay High Court that there was no foul play in the death of Disha Salian, the former manager of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput. Disha Salian had died by suicide on June 8, 2020, reportedly after jumping from the 14th floor of a building in Mumbai. The police had closed the case in 2021 and said that no evidence of foul play had been found in her death. However, the celebrity manager's father, Satish Salian, moved the High Court in March seeking a Central Bureau of Investigation probe into her death and the filing of a first information report against Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) leader Aaditya Thackeray. Claiming that his daughter had died under suspicious circumstances, Satish Salian alleged that she was gangraped and murdered. He claimed that there had also been a politically-driven cover-up to shield 'influential persons'. The police demanded that the petition should be dismissed. Thackeray on Thursday refused to comment on the matter, saying that he had chosen silence despite attempts to defame him. Read on.
