Dr Kavitake was a senior resident at JJ Hospital and was about to become a lecturer. He specialised in general surgery, laparoscopic surgery, and proctology. He also served as the general secretary of the Maharashtra Association of Resident Doctors.
Search operation underway
Inspector Rajne said, "Even after around 24 hours of search operation in the sea, the missing Dr Kavitake was not found. The search operation will be discontinued after sunset and will be restarted on Wednesday morning. Dr Kavitake, who is feared drowned, might have drifted due to the sea current and is likely to be washed ashore at the creek anywhere between NRI coastal area and Uran. Also, the local villagers near the creek have been told to be vigilant and inform the police if the body is washed ashore. A frantic search is being carried out by the police and Marine Security Department's Dhruvtara patrolling boat as well along the creek across Navi Mumbai."

Men posing as women to get nudes; what's the creepy new catfish trend on OnlyFans?
New Zealand's most-followed OnlyFans star, Layla Kelly , has revealed that a growing number of male subscribers are posing as women to gain access to exclusive content, using stolen images of real, unsuspecting women, often including intimate or even nude photos. Kelly described the practice as 'creepy' and a violation of consent, stating that this manipulation is becoming disturbingly common on the platform.

Toyota Glanza Learn More Undo What is the new trend? The phenomenon, known as catfishing, is a bit different from the traditional one. Here, scammers are not limited to creating false identities, men creating fake female profiles, often using photos of women sourced without permission, and then messaging adult creators under false pretenses and, to some extent, stealing their photos. Live Events 'I personally don't have a problem with people pretending to be someone else if that's their fetish,' Kelly told 'But where it crosses the line is when someone, who hasn't given permission, is having their identity and photos used unknowingly, especially given this is a very intimate platform.' In one extreme case, a man reportedly sent Kelly a wedding photo alongside a driver's license, likely belonging to a wife or sister, a deception she found deeply disturbing. Former OnlyFans creator Lucy Banks , now running a marketing agency for digital creators, echoed Kelly's concerns. Banks explained that while many men carry out these acts under specific fetishes or to obtain free content, they often expose themselves quickly through awkward language or requests. 'There were several times where I'd get messages like, 'Hey, I'm Mandy , I'm thinking about getting my boobs done, can you show me yours?'' she said. 'They think they're clever, but we can spot it a mile away.' She also recalled a subscriber with a medical examination fetish who would frequently ask invasive and sexualised questions under the guise of needing female health advice. Why is it concerning? Beyond creators' personal discomfort, the deeper concern lies in the non-consensual use of women's images, often intimate ones, taken from social media or personal accounts. 'It is illegal in New Zealand and Australia to steal someone's identity and distribute naked images without consent,' Kelly told. 'If anyone is doing this or thinking of doing this, they need to understand the legal consequences.' Kelly has since posted videos to warn her followers and raise awareness, captioning one clip: 'Consent matters, guys.' She urges others in the industry to remain cautious and for platform users to understand the ethical and legal boundaries being crossed.

Air India Crash: No Bird Hit, Fuel Switches Cut Off & An FAA Warning Ignored
Last Updated: The investigators have not recommended any actions to Boeing or engine manufacturers so far—which is invariably done if a defect is found in the aircraft during preliminary probe The preliminary investigation report into the AI-171 crash in Ahmedabad seems to point a finger at the pilots and a cockpit error, rather than a problem with the Boeing Dreamliner aircraft. In fact, the investigators in the report have not even recommended any actions to Boeing or the engine manufacturers so far—which is invariably done if a defect is found in the aircraft during the preliminary probe so that corrective actions can follow for other aircraft that are in the skies. 'At this stage of investigation, there are no recommended actions to B787-8 and/or GE GEnx-1B engine operators and manufacturers," the report mentions, saying further probe is on. Possibility of a bird hit has also been ruled out. The report clearly says that the fuel supply to the engines was cut off, leading to the crash. It says the 'Engine 1 and Engine 2 fuel cutoff switches transitioned from RUN to CUTOFF position one after another with a time gap of one second". This seems to point to a pilot error or possibly sabotage, as there are safety rails across both sides of the fuel cutoff switches to avoid any accidental touch. 'In the cockpit voice recording, one of the pilots is heard asking the other why did he cutoff. The other pilot responded that he did not do so," the report notes as a crucial detail. It is not clear which pilot was telling this to his counterpart. The aircraft was piloted by 56-year-old Captain Sumeet Sabharwal with over 15,000 hours of flying experience, while the co-pilot was 32-year-old Clive Kundar, with over 3,200 hours of flying experience. Both were killed in the crash. It was a fight against the wall once the engines got cut off at a low height post takeoff, and relighting them did not help arrest the descent. 'The EGT was observed to be rising for both engines indicating relight. Engine 1's core deceleration stopped, reversed and started to progress to recovery. Engine 2 was able to relight but could not arrest core speed deceleration and re-introduced fuel repeatedly to increase core speed acceleration and recovery". The only mention in the report that could indicate a technical error is the part where it is pointed out that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) of the US issued a Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin (SAIB) in 2018 regarding the potential disengagement of the fuel control switch locking feature. 'This SAIB was issued based on reports from operators of Model 737 airplanes that the fuel control switches were installed with the locking feature disengaged. The airworthiness concern was not considered an unsafe condition that would warrant airworthiness directive (AD) by the FAA. The fuel control switch design, including the locking feature, is similar on various Boeing airplane models, including part number 4TL837-3D which is fitted in B787-8 aircraft VT-ANB. As per the information from Air India, the suggested inspections were not carried out as the SAIB was advisory and not mandatory," the report says. However, the report adds that there was no defect reported pertaining to the fuel control switch since 2023 on VT-ANB, the aircraft that crashed. The full report will take another 10-11 months to come out. In the two previous worst crashes in India in the year 2020 and 2010 respectively involving the Air India Express, detailed probes had blamed the pilots while Boeing and the airline had got a clean chit. A total of 176 persons died in these crashes which happened during landing—the accident at the Calicut airport killed 18 in 2020, while the one at Mangalore killed 158 in 2010. view comments First Published: July 12, 2025, 08:45 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
