A crash axe was used to to assault Capt Smit Machchhar , the Indian hero who saved the Fly Dubai plane from being crashed or hijacked by its co-pilot. So what is this axe? It’s mandatory on all commercial planes, in the U.S. on any plane with more than 19 passenger seats. It has metal cutting claws meant to rip through fuselage and aluminium in an emergency or crash. It can also cut through live electrical wires. It’s considered critical emergency equipment- here it was used to create a near fatal mid air catastrophe. Full coverage on our channel

An absolutely chilling day for aviation - it’s now confirmed that the pilot stabbed by his co-pilot on board Fly Dubai plane headed for Tel Aviv- is an Indian national who displayed extraordinary courage and presence of mind by sending out a hijack code squawk (7500) even while he was attacked in the cockpit by his colleague. Capt Smit Machchhar , formerly with Spice jet, seems to have also managed to open the cockpit door so other passengers could step in and encircle the attacker. The plane was landed by a passenger- either a trainee pilot or a British passenger who happened to be a pilot- this part remain unclear , as the plane was diverted to Saudi Arabia with whom Israel does not have diplomatic relations. An extraordinary and scary day. Prayers for the full recovery of Smit 💔😢🙏🇮🇳- full coverage on our channel

Why has the Cornell rape investigation been reopened? A 2024 sexual assault case at Cornell University has been reopened after the alleged victim filed a civil lawsuit containing new allegations and evidence, including screenshots of a fraternity group chat.

The woman alleges she was drugged and raped by seven men at a fraternity house in October 2024. At the time, prosecutors did not bring criminal charges, saying the evidence in her initial statement did not meet the legal threshold. But Tompkins County District Attorney Matthew Van Houten has now said the case will go before a grand jury, citing the additional allegations and evidence presented in the lawsuit.

BREAKING NEWS: The Supreme Court has quashed the NSA detention of Mulla Afroz, accused in the 2024 Sambhal violence case, and imposed a ₹10 lakh cost on the Uttar Pradesh government.

The top court held that a confession allegedly made in police custody could not be the basis for preventive detention under the National Security Act. The ruling also sets aside the Allahabad High Court order that had upheld Afroz’s detention. Afroz was detained under the NSA in October 2025 after being granted bail.

Former Union Home Secretary and ex-BJP MP R.K. Singh has now launched a sharp attack on Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. In an open letter, Singh alleges that the Election Commission has violated electoral law and questions how decisions on SIR were taken.

Singh also points to reported disagreements within the three-member Election Commission, with Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi having raised objections on several SIR-related decisions. He is calling on citizens to “unite to save democracy” and has urged Opposition parties to consider not participating in elections until the CEC and Election Commissioners resign. These are Singh’s allegations and political demands, not established findings.

Amid a growing controversy over its internal functioning, the Election Commission has now put out its own account, and announced a series of changes that appear to address several of the issues at the heart of recent reports.

In a press note approved by the full Commission, the EC says its key decisions on the Special Intensive Revision and the Form 6 declaration were unanimous and upheld by the Supreme Court. It has also announced an expert-assisted review of ECINet, alongside extended deadlines for voter claims and objections in Delhi and Maharashtra.

The Commission also responded to reports of internal differences. It says the controversial letter to the Cabinet Secretary was not about an EC policy or its IT division, but concerned the functioning of an officer on deputation. It adds that orders redistributing work were never implemented following directions from the two Election Commissioners, and that the Deputy Election Commissioner’s oversight of the IT division was never actually withdrawn.

But perhaps most significantly, the EC has announced a series of internal-governance measures: meeting agendas will now be circulated in advance, officers’ annual appraisals must be completed by December 31, foreign trips will require Commission approval, and directions issued by Election Commissioners must be “meticulously complied with.”

The measures come as the poll body faces questions over reported disagreements within the Commission and the handling of the SIR.

BREAKING: Election Commission releases press note following the Indian Express report on 2 ECs objecting to discrepancies in the SIR process.

"Differing views and observations are a normal part of deliberation in any institution. They are a part of the decision-making process before a final decision is taken. Not only the three Commissioners, but every officer of the Commission is fully authorised to give his suggestions to the Commission for improving the electoral system"

"Highlighting certain specific internal notes/observations spread over the period of 10 months while overlooking the much larger body of approvals, decisions, instructions and initiatives give only one part of the picture. In recent months, the Commission has taken numerous decisions, issued instructions, introduced around 40 new initiatives and undertaken many electoral reforms including the conduct of Electoral roll revision (including SIR) across the country. All these decisions are an outcome of the unanimous decisions of the full Commission in the past one year."
