Two Unnao teenagers drown in Sai river
The deceased were identified as Raunak (15) and Shiva Sahu (15), both residents of Jabrela village under the Asoha police station limits in Unnao. According to a statement issued by Lucknow Police, the boys went to bathe in the river near their village on Wednesday afternoon and went missing shortly after entering the water.
Their families began searching for them when they did not return home, and on Thursday morning, villagers spotted two bodies floating in the river near Lalloomar, close to the Unnao-Lucknow border.
Police from the Mohanlalganj station were immediately alerted and retrieved the bodies, which were later identified based on their clothing.
"Preliminary investigation suggests the boys likely ventured into deeper waters and drowned. The current carried their bodies downstream to Lalloomar," said ACP Mohanlalganj Rajnish Verma.
Raunak, a Class 9 student, was the only son of his parents and is survived by three sisters—two married and one unmarried. Shiva, who studied up to Class 5, lost his mother a few years ago. He was the eldest sibling and is survived by a younger brother and sister.
Police have ruled out foul play and handed over the bodies to the families after post-mortem examination. Further inquiries are underway.

Fraudsters posing as SC officials allegedly target Ahmedabad crash victim's family for compensation scam
JAIPUR: In a chilling case of post-tragedy exploitation, fraudsters posing as government and legal representatives allegedly attempted to deceive and intimidate the family of a deceased victim of the recent Ahmedabad plane crash. The family, residing in Rundeda village of Vallabhnagar tehsil, was approached with a false promise of ₹8 to ₹10 crore in compensation in exchange for confidential documents and signatures. According to the police complaint filed by Deepak Menaria, son of the deceased Vardichand Menaria, the fraudsters first made contact via a mobile call on the night of 17 July. The caller, identifying himself as Bhupendra, claimed to be part of a central government verification team and requested personal documents including a copy of the deceased's passport and flight ticket. He assured Deepak that filing a legal case against Boeing could result in a massive compensation payout. The very next evening, on 18 July, a man and a woman arrived at the complainant's house in a white Ertiga car (registration number GJ 06 DX 8772). Without prior notice or formal introduction, they entered the house and began speaking directly to the victim's mother in a confusing and persuasive tone. Alarmed, she called Deepak, who rushed home to find the duo claiming to be from the Supreme Court in Delhi. They allegedly insisted that the family sign and provide thumb impressions on some documents, which they claimed were needed to initiate a lawsuit against Boeing in the United States. However, when Deepak stated that he intended to file the case independently — including Boeing, Air India, the Government of India, and the Airport Authority — the duo allegedly became aggressive, trying to coerce him into signing.

SHOCKING! DGCA Flags 51 Safety Lapses At Air India
New Delhi: The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has found 51 safety lapses in Air India's operations during its annual audit, raising fresh concerns over the airline's compliance with mandatory aviation safety norms. The audit revealed a range of shortcomings, including outdated training manuals, fragmented training records, lack of pilot training, unqualified simulators, untrained staff managing flight rosters, and irregularities in approvals for low-visibility operations. Of these, seven have been classified as critical Level I breaches, which the airline must rectify by July 30. The remaining 44 non-compliances must be addressed by August 23. The DGCA has asked Air India to provide evidence that all safety protocols are being met. The enforcement action comes days after the regulator disclosed that an Air India aircraft had been flying with an overdue inspection of its emergency slide -- a critical safety feature. On July 23, the DGCA issued three show-cause notices to the airline over various lapses, giving it 15 days to respond. Earlier, Minister of State for Civil Aviation Murlidhar Mohol told Parliament that the DGCA had immediately grounded the aircraft involved in the overdue slide inspection until the necessary checks were completed. He said the regulator conducts regular surveillance, spot checks, and night inspections to ensure airlines meet safety and maintenance standards, and takes enforcement action -- including fines, warnings, or suspensions -- in case of violations. "DGCA immediately grounded the aircraft till the required rectification was carried out. DGCA has initiated enforcement action against Air India and the responsible personnel as per the Enforcement Policy and Procedure Manual of DGCA," Minister of State (MoS) for Civil Aviation, Murlidhar Mohol, said in a written reply to a question in the Rajya Sabha. The minister also noted that DGCA officials are well trained to carry out oversight and enforcement duties, and that safety audits have been stepped up across various segments of aviation, including helicopter operations during the Chardham Yatra.
