An Air India flight, scheduled to depart for London from Ahmedabad, was cancelled on Tuesday due to technical issues.
According to the details, the Air India flight AI 159 had arrived from New Delhi to Ahmedabad and was scheduled to take off to London.
This was the second Ahmedabad to London Air India flight to have encountered a technical glitch, after another one crashed near the Ahmedabad airport on June 12, killing 241 of 242 onboard.
On Monday, another of the carrier's flights was cancelled after facing delays caused by operational issues, eventually leading to the expiry of the crew's duty time.
News agency ANI quoted sources and reported that Air India's flight AI2493 from Mumbai to Ahmedabad was supposed to be operated by an Airbus A321-211 aircraft (VT-PPL).
Early on Tuesday, an Air India flight from San Francisco to Mumbai suffered a technical glitch in one of its engines.
All passengers on the flight were asked to deplane at the Kolkata airport, where the flight had arrived for a layover.
On Monday, an Air India Express flight from Delhi to Ranchi was diverted back to the national capital shortly after taking off, due to a suspected technical issue.
Before that, an Air India flight returned to Hong Kong shortly after takeoff due to a midair technical issue.
Air India said in a statement that the New Delhi-bound plane landed in Hong Kong safely and was undergoing checks 'as a matter of abundant precaution."
Meanwhile, four days after the deadliest crash in the country in three decades claimed 270 lives, 119 victims have so far been identified through DNA matching with their family members, authorities said.
They also said that the mortal remains of 76 of them, including that of former Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani, were handed over to their families.
The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner (AI171) crashed into some buildings in the BJ Medical College campus and burst into flames moments after it took off from the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport.
One passenger survived the disaster.

"It was my emotional breakdown...": Tanushree Dutta opens up on viral video
Tanushree Dutta, the OG MeToo whistleblower who shook the Hindi film industry in 2018, has opened up about the emotional video she recently shared on her social media. Tanushree Dutta , the OG MeToo whistleblower, has opened up about the emotional video she recently shared on her social media. In the now-viral clip that she shared on Tuesday, the actress can be seen sobbing and talking about being allegedly "harassed" inside her home. "I am being harassed in my own house. I just called the cops, and they have asked me to come to the police station to lodge a proper complaint. I will probably go tomorrow or the day after. I am not well. I have been harassed so much in the past five years that I have fallen sick," she said in the video. Tanushree has alleged that the video was a result of years of "pain, stress, and fear she faced over the last five years". Speaking to ANI, Tanushree said her video was not a stunt or drama, but a real "emotional response after enduring repeated traumatic events since MeToo allegations in 2018". "First of all, I want to say that it was my emotional response," she said. "A lot of strange things have happened to me in the last five years. After MeToo, serious and dangerous things started happening around me. It took me time to understand that all of this was actually happening to me," she said. "I was in an accident; my brakes failed. There were also attempts to mix something in my food to make me sick. Strange things started happening outside my house too," Tanushree added. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 3 & 4 BHK Starts ₹1.65 Cr in Kukatpally Honer Signatis Book Now Undo When asked if anyone from the film industry reached out to help, she said, "I don't have any friends.

They said I was acting in 2008, they said the same in 2018. And who are these people anyway?" She also responded to the accusations that her viral video was a publicity stunt saying, "There are many ways to go viral. I don't need to do all this. I am Tanushree Dutta. Miss India Universe," she said. Tanushree first gained fame when she won the Femina Miss India Universe title in 2004. She later acted in popular films like Aashiq Banaya Apne, Dhol, and Bhagam Bhag.

Mumbai Landlord Asks For Rent, Tenant Tries To ‘Crush Him With Car': ‘Marathi Nahi Bolta Hoga'
Last Updated: The argument turned violent when the tenant, in a fit of rage, got behind the wheel and attempted to crush the landlord. A shocking case came to light from Mumbai's Deonar area, where a tenant allegedly tried to run a car over his landlord. The incident occurred during a heated dispute over rent and reportedly turned violent when the tenant, in a fit of rage, got behind the wheel and attempted to crush him. The attack happened on July 21, while the complaint was registered on July 23. The accused has been arrested, and further investigation is underway, ANI shared the update, quoting Mumbai Police. Mumbai | A tenant tried to kill his landlord by running his car over him in the Deonar area, seriously injuring the landlord. The incident occurred when the landlord went to ask for rent from the tenant, and the argument between the two escalated. The angry tenant then tried to…— ANI (@ANI) July 25, 2025 Maharashtra Language Tensions Surface As the video of the incident began circulating online, the shocking case triggered widespread discussion on social media. One user wrote, 'Tenant Marathi nhi bolta hoga (The tenant probably doesn't speak Marathi)." This comment is in reference to the ongoing language-related tensions in Maharashtra. The state has witnessed rising tensions over the use of Marathi versus other languages, with political parties like Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) known for pushing the use of Marathi in signage and communication. A person turned to AI chatbot Grok, asking, 'What underlying societal factors might contribute to such extreme landlord-tenant disputes, and are there any statistical trends in similar incidents?" In response, Grok noted, 'Extreme landlord-tenant disputes often stem from economic pressures like rising rents and job loss, power imbalances, poor communication, and weak legal enforcement—especially in India, where informal agreements and urban migration exacerbate tensions." The chatbot further highlighted the issue at a global level, saying that such violent incidents are relatively rare. It added, 'UK data shows 50%+ of landlords face disputes (mostly non-violent). Referring back to India, Grok noted that cases of conflict appear to be rising in metro cities. 'Stronger laws like the Model Tenancy Act could help," it stated. Not The First Case A similar case had come to light in 2022 from Delhi's Mangolpuri area, where an argument ended in a horrifying act. The tenant allegedly murdered his landlord, clicked a selfie with the body and fled with his belongings. Police later identified the accused as 25-year-old Pankaj Kumar Sahni from Bihar's Samastipur district. In an effort to avoid arrest, he travelled by metro and then boarded a train to Rohtak, Haryana. But his attempt to flee did not succeed. He was eventually traced to the Mangolpuri Industrial area, where he was arrested after police tracked him over a distance of nearly 250 kilometres. view comments First Published: July 25, 2025, 16:48 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Man Who Escaped Jail Raped, Killed 23-Year-Old. All About 2011 Soumya Case
A prison escape attempt by Govindachamy, a convict in the Soumya murder case, has once again brought the chilling 2011 crime back into the spotlight. The one-armed convict, also known as Charley Thomas, was serving a life sentence at the high-security Kannur Central Jail when he went missing in the early hours of Friday. Authorities were alerted during a routine inspection of his cell. A massive search operation was launched immediately, according to news agency ANI. Kannur: 2011 Soumya rape and murder accused Govindachamy escapes from Kannur Central Jail. Govindachamy was serving a life sentence for the rape and murder of 23-year-old Soumya, who was attacked while travelling on a passenger train from Ernakulam to Shoranur on February 1,… — ANI (@ANI) July 25, 2025 #WATCH | Kerala | K-9 squad arrives at Kannur Central Jail after 2011 Soumya rape and murder accused Govindachamy escapes from the jail — ANI (@ANI) July 25, 2025 The missing convict was located within a few hours in Kannur, Manorama reported. Upon noticing the police, Govindachamy attempted to hide inside a well but was apprehended and taken back into custody. #WATCH | Kannur, Kerala | 2011 Soumya rape and murder accused Govindachamy, who had escaped from Kannur Jail, arrested — ANI (@ANI) July 25, 2025 The attempted escape has raised serious questions about security lapses within one of Kerala's most fortified prisons. Authorities have ordered a probe to ascertain how he managed to slip out unnoticed. But who is Govindachamy, and why has this case left a lasting scar on Kerala's collective memory? The Soumya Murder Case The crime dates back to February 1, 2011. Soumya, a 23-year-old sales assistant working at a shopping mall in Kochi, was travelling alone in the ladies' compartment of a train from Ernakulam to Shoranur. During the journey, Govindachamy entered her coach, attacked her and pushed her out of the moving train near Vallathol Nagar station. What followed was even more horrifying. According to Manorama Online, Govindachamy jumped off the train, found the injured woman lying on the tracks, and raped her near another railway line. After the assault, he fled the scene after stealing her mobile phone and cash from her purse. The victim, unable to move for over an hour, was eventually found by locals and rushed to Mulankunnathukavu Medical College Hospital. Govindachamy was arrested in Palakkad on February 4. The woman succumbed to injuries two days later, on February 6, 2011. A Legal And Public Uproar Govindachamy's criminal history and the brutal nature of the attack shocked Kerala. In 2012, a fast-track court handed him the death penalty, describing him as a habitual offender. The judge observed that the rape had directly led to Soumya's death and that the case had shocked the collective conscience of society. But the legal battle did not end there. In 2016, the Supreme Court set aside the murder conviction, saying there wasn't enough evidence to prove that the injuries leading to Soumya's death were caused by Govindachamy pushing her from the train. The court, however, upheld the life sentence for rape, maintaining that his actions were undeniably barbaric. The Soumya case became a rallying point for women's safety in public transport, and is often cited as one of Kerala's most distressing criminal cases.
