MHA directs against senior UP IPS officer
According to senior officials in the state home department, the ministry has sent a formal notice recommending disciplinary proceedings against Mishra, a 1989-batch IPS officer. The action pertains to his tenure with the Land Ports Authority of India (LPAI), where he was on deputation.
Sources said that Mishra would soon be issued a notice and asked to submit his response. One senior official described the move as a standard procedure under departmental discipline.
Mishra has previously served as the ADG (law and order) in Uttar Pradesh. During his tenure with LPAI starting 2019, he played a key role in developing critical infrastructure, including the passenger terminal building and Maitri Dwar at Petrapole in West Bengal, as well as UP's first land port at Rupaidiha in Bahraich district, along the Indo-Nepal border and other projects. He returned on completion of deputation in Jan 2025.

Thane court sentences man to 10 years RI for sexual assault on 13-year-old girl
Thane, A court in Maharashtra's Thane district has sentenced a man to 10 years of rigorous imprisonment for sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl in 2018. Thane court sentences man to 10 years RI for sexual assault on 13-year-old girl Additional sessions judge D S Deshmukh found the accused, Prince Santosh Mishra, guilty of charges under the Indian Penal Code and Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act. The court, in an order dated July 3, also imposed a fine of ₹20,000 on him, which is to be paid to the victim as compensation. Additionally, the case has been referred to the District Legal Services Authority for considering further compensation for the victim. Special public prosecutor Rekha Hiwrale informed the court that the assault took place on November 2, 2018, and it came to light after a neighbour alerted the girl's mother that the teen had left with two boys in an autorickshaw. Upon her return, the girl informed her mother that the accused had persuaded her to accompany him to a friend's house. The accused sexually assaulted the girl at his friend's house, and she managed to free herself and found her way back home. The accused was also convicted under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes Amendment Act, 2015, as the girl belongs to a Scheduled Caste community. The court noted the consistency of the victim's account. "The evidence of victim is consistent on the point of penetrative sexual assault committed by the accused Prince with her in the room of other accused," it said. The court dismissed Mishra's defence that the complaint was fabricated due to a disputed loan, finding no supporting documentary evidence. The court also acquitted Mishra's friend, Akram Chand Khan, who was named co-accused, citing that he had no knowledge of the incident. During sentencing, Mishra's counsel pleaded for leniency, citing his age and role as the sole earning member of his family and his five-year incarceration. The judge, while acknowledging the accused's circumstances, said, "The act of sexual assault on the child is to be viewed seriously, and such offences are to be dealt with stringent manner."

AAIB Submits Preliminary Report On Air India Plane Crash
New Delhi: The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) has submitted its preliminary report on the Air India 171 crash to the Ministry of Civil Aviation and other relevant authorities. This report, based on initial assessments and early findings, is expected to be made public later this week, reported IANS, citing top government officials. The London-bound Air India flight AI171 crashed into a medical college hostel just seconds after take-off from the Ahmedabad airport on June 12. As many as 241 people on board the plane and 19 on the ground were killed in the tragic crash. One passenger had miraculously survived the deadly crash. A combined unit of the Digital Flight Data Recorder (DFDR) and the Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) was recovered from the crash site on June 13, and another set was found on June 16. This model of aircraft has two black box sets. A multi-disciplinary team from AAIB commenced an investigation into the crash on June 12 itself. The investigation was ordered by the DG, AAIB. US NTSB and OEM teams also arrived to assist the AAIB as per ICAO protocols. The investigators are reported to have looked into whether a dual-engine failure would have resulted in the crash. The investigation is being led by AAIB officials and includes technical experts from the Indian Air Force, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), and the US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), which represents the country where the aircraft was designed and manufactured. The probe is being overseen by the Director General of the AAIB. The investigation team also includes an aviation medicine specialist and an Air Traffic Control officer. The NTSB team also worked closely with Indian authorities at the AAIB Lab. Representatives from Boeing and engine-maker GE also participated in the technical analysis. Previously, black boxes from Indian aircraft accidents were typically sent abroad for decoding to facilities in countries such as the UK, the US, France, Italy, Canada, and Russia. India lacked the infrastructure to analyse black box data from major crashes domestically. However, with the establishment of a fully equipped AAIB Lab in Delhi, India now has the capability to decode both cockpit voice recorders and flight data recorders within the country itself.
