Amid bomb threats to flights, ammunition cartridge found in Air India flight from Dubai to Delhi after landing

Ammunition cartridges were found in the pocket of a seat on an Air India flight AI916 flying from Dubai to New Delhi after it landed at New Delhi airport, an Air India spokesperson said on Saturday.

The flight landed at New Delhi Airport on October 27 and all the passengers were safely disembarked from the flight.

Following this, a complaint was lodged with the Airport Police by Air India strictly adhering to the laid down security protocols.

“One ammunition cartridge was found in the pocket of a seat of our flight AI916 after it had landed from Dubai at Delhi on 27 October 2024 and all passengers had safely disembarked. A complaint was immediately lodged with the Airport Police by Air India strictly adhering to the laid down security protocols,” an Air India Spokesperson said.

Earlier, an Air India flight AI 216 which was set to return to New Delhi on Monday received a bomb threat. It is the second hoax call that Nepal’s Tribhuvan International Airport has received within a week, officials confirmed.

The Air India flight which landed at 2:41 PM (Nepal Standard Time) on Monday afternoon at Tribhuvan International Airport had received a bomb threat prompting authorities to activate the emergency protocol.

“We didn’t find any suspicious or explosives on board the plane. It is preparing to take flight following the procedures,” Kiran Bajracharya, AIG at Valley Police Office, Ranipokhari, confirmed to ANI over the phone.

Nepal Army bomb squad along with the Nepal Police Canine division acted quickly to trace the possible explosive on board the plane at an isolated area of the airport, as per the officials.

Over four hours of search proved the warning was a hoax call as no suspicious objects were found.

“According to protocol, no dangerous objects were found during the security checks, and the situation at the airport is currently normal. It is a second hoax call within a week,” an Information officer at the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal, Gyanendra Bhul confirmed to ANI over the phone.

Sanjay Raut defends “imported maal” comment by Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Arvind Sawant against Shaina NC, claims it is not insult

Sanjay Raut on Saturday came out in support of fellow Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Arvind Sawant over his “imported maal” remark, saying, “there has been no insult” and added, “there is no need to create such a big issue.”

Speaking to reporters Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut said, “There has been no insult. Arvind Sawant is our senior MP. He just said that the BJP candidate from Mumbadevi (Shaina NC) has come from outside and she is an ‘imported maal’. If she is an ‘imported maal’, how is this an insult to women?…’Bahar ka maal hai toh bahar ka maal hai’…What did you say about Sonia Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi? You should go through the history once…If a person from outside contests elections, people say that they have come from outside…There is no need to create such a big issue.”

The controversy began when Arvind Sawant, an MP of the Shiv Sena faction led by Uddhav Thackeray, allegedly referred to Shaina as “imported maal,” saying, “Look at her condition. She was in the BJP all her life and now she went to another party. Imported ‘maal’ doesn’t work here; only original ‘maal’ does.”

In response, Shaina NC filed a complaint against him at the Nagpada Police Station over his comment.

Notably, police have registered an FIR under Sections 79 and 356(2) for outraging the modesty of women, and the Election Commission and Women Commission have taken cognizance against Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Arvind Sawant.

Earlier today, Shiv Sena leader Shaina NC strongly condemned Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Arvind Sawant’s “imported maal” remark, stating that objectification of women, and outraging the modesty of women is not a small problem.

Speaking to ANI, Shiv Sena leader Shaina said, “FIR has been registered in Nagpada police station under Sections 79 and 356(2) outraging the modesty of women. The Election Commission and Women Commission have also taken cognizance. This is a fight for the respect of women…Objectification of women, and outraging the Modesty of women is not a small problem. The truth will be in front of everyone in the video but this mindset and perverted mentality is visible.”

Earlier on Friday, after facing backlash for his “imported maal” remark, Arvind Sawant claimed that he did not mention Shaina’s name.

“I never mentioned her name. I only said that someone who is an outsider will not be able to work here. It’s their habit to create uproar,” he said while speaking to ANI.

Sawant further said he has always respected women and accused his opponents of trying to tarnish his reputation.

“They file defamation cases, yet it is they who are defaming me. I condemn their intent. I have been in politics for 55 years, and have always respected women. Those who are supporting her – ask them to answer whatever questions I have asked… Shaina NC is my friend, she has worked for me, and I respect her… They are ‘satta jihadi’ people, as our leader Uddhav Thackeray says,” Sawant added.

The Maharashtra Assembly election is set to take place on November 20, with vote counting for all 288 constituencies scheduled for November 23.

Friendly fire? Maulana hounds Muslim Samajwadi party candidate over temple visit, issues ‘fatwa’ and tells her to recite Kalma

A fatwa has been issued against Samajwadi Party (SP) candidate from Kanpur’s Sisamau constituency, Naseem Solanki, after she visited a Hindu temple and performed rituals on the occasion of Diwali.

The fatwa was issued by Maulana Mufti Shahabuddin Razvi Barelvi, the national president of All India Muslim Jamaat.

He ruled that Solanki’s actions go against Islamic principles, calling her a “criminal under Sharia law” and urging her to seek forgiveness and recite the Kalma anew.

Reportedly, Solanki recently visited the Vankhandeshwar Temple and offered water to the Shivling. She also lit diyas in the temple as part of the Diwali celebrations.

Videos of her acts were widely circulated on social media by SP party supporters. However, the video sparked controversy among Muslim voters and within the Muslim community.

Maulana Razvi’s response on temple visit

Commenting on her temple visit, Maulana Shahabuddin Razvi Barelvi explained that, according to Islamic teachings, idol worship is strictly forbidden.

In his statement, he said, “In Islam, only Allah is considered worthy of worship, and any form of idol worship, be it by a man or woman, is haram and impermissible.”

He further stated that the practice of worshipping idols in any form is seen as a severe violation of Islamic principles, rendering the person a “criminal” in the eyes of Sharia.

He added that Solanki’s actions were self-chosen and not performed under any apparent pressure, suggesting she willingly participated in the rituals.

The Maluna urged her to repent, stating, “As per Sharia, she must ask for forgiveness and read the Kalma again to reaffirm her faith.”

Conditional repentance for unintentional acts

He further noted that if someone, regardless of gender, engages in such acts under compulsion or without understanding the implications, they can repent without severe penalties under Islamic principles.

In such cases, individuals are advised to seek forgiveness through prayer and refrain from similar acts in future, as these may otherwise endanger their faith and alignment with Islamic teachings.

“If done unknowingly or under duress, they should repent and recite the Kalma, reinforcing their commitment to Islam,” he added.

Vankhandeshwar Temple visit highlights political-religious tension

Naseem Solanki is the wife of jailed former MLA Irfan Solanki. She is contesting the by-election for the Sisamau constituency following her husband’s imprisonment.

Since her nomination, Solanki has participated in several community events, including the Vankhandeshwar Temple visit, after which the controversy erupted.

Solanki has yet to state the matter. In June this year, Irfan Solanki was imprisoned for harassing a woman, setting her house on fire and beating her son in an attempt to grab her land in Kanpur in 2022.

AP Dhillon shooting case: Canadian police nab one suspect after 2 months, claim another suspect ‘fled to India’

On Wednesday (30th October), the police arrested a man, identified as 25-year-old Abjeet Kingra, in connection with the shooting and arson at Punjabi singer AP Dhillon’s house in Brantford city in Ontario province of Canada.

The incident took place on 2nd September this year. Police alleged that the second suspect, identified as 23-year-old Vikram Sharma, had fled to India after the incident.

As per a press release from West Shore RCMP, the police responded to reports of two vehicles on fire and a residence hit by gunfire on Ravenwood Road.

The house belonged to Punjabi singer AP Dhillon. The police rushed to the scene and evacuated the resident of the house, and Colwood Fire Department extinguished the burning vehicles. Police reported that multiple shots were fired at Dhillon’s house.

On 30th October, Kingra was taken into custody in Ontario. He has been charged with Discharge of a Firearm with Intent and Arson. He appeared in an Ontario court on Friday, facing serious charges as investigators further probe the reason behind the incident.

An arrest warrant has been issued against Sharma, who is currently on the run. Police allege that he has fled to India. He is wanted on an unendorsed warrant for Discharge of a Firearm with Intent and Arson.

Superintendent Todd Preston, Officer in Charge of West Shore RCMP, said in a statement, “We will continue to pursue this investigation as well as the outstanding suspect until they have been located and arrested.” Further investigation into the matter is underway.

Abjeet Kingra was a fan of Dhillon, reports

According to independent freelance journalist V, Abjeet Kingra was a fan of AP Dhillon and would regularly post videos featuring Dhillon’s songs on the social media platform TikTok.

OpIndia could not independently verify the existence of such videos, as Kingra’s account has been removed from TikTok.

In a post, journalist V wrote, “The man arrested for the shooting at AP Dhillon’s house in Canada, Abjeet Kingra, was an AP Dhillon fan and would frequently post his music on social media. He entered 🇨🇦 on a student visa and was a resident of Winnipeg.”

Shooting at AP Dhillon’s house in Canada

On the intervening night of 1st and 2nd September, a shooting incident took place at the residence of Punjabi singer and rapper AP Dhillon in Canada. A video of the incident surfaced on social media and went viral, showing a man outside the house firing multiple shots at night.

Following the shooting, a post also began circulating on social media.

In the viral post, Rohit Godara (of the Lawrence Bishnoi group) claimed responsibility not only for the shooting incident in Vancouver but also in Woodbridge, Toronto. Apart from taking responsibility, the post also issued a death threat to Punjabi singer AP Dhillon, citing his association with Bollywood actor Salman Khan.

West Bengal: BJP says Hindus were attacked during Maa Kali’s Visarjan procession, Kolkata Police claim ‘parking dispute’

On Friday (1st November), BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari lashed out at the police for failing to provide security to Hindus during Maa Kali’s Visarjan procession in Kolkata’s Rajabazar locality.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Adhikari shared videos stating that the immersion procession of the Hindu deity was attacked. He also demanded the immediate deployment of the Central Armed Police Force (CAPF) in the area.

The BJP leader from Nandigram emphasised, “Appeasement politics at its height. Maa Kali’s immersion procession attacked at Rajabazar; Kolkata. Narkeldanga Police failed to act and protect the devotees.”

“Commissioner of Police, Kolkata, if you are yet not waking up from your deep slumber then request for the deployment of CAPF immediately in the interest of common & innocent Bharatiyas, who time and again are coming under attack from the radicals in WB,” he added.

BJP spokesperson Amit Malviya also slammed the West Bengal government. While calling out Mamata Banerjee for the inaction, he urged her to take immediate action or step down from the post of Chief Minister.

Amit Malviya tweeted, “Hindu Temples and devotees continue to be attacked in West Bengal, during Kali Puja. In Rajabazar, Kolkata, a procession for Maa Kali’s immersion was stone-pelted and assaulted; Narkeldanga Police failed to intervene and protect the devotees. Mamata Banerjee, either take immediate action or step down. Your ‘vote bank’ is creating havoc and targeting Hindus, with impunity. Enough is enough.”



On Saturday (2nd November), Kolkata Police claimed that the visarjan procession was not attacked. They alleged that a scuffle broke out between two individuals over bike parking, which later escalated.

In a post on X, Kolkata Police claimed, “An attempt has been made on social media to create a fake narrative about the incident at Narkeldanga. No Kali Puja immersion procession was attacked.”

“The issue was related to the parking of a bike, which led to a fight between two individuals and further escalated. However, police intervened in a timely manner and brought the situation under control,” it further added.

“The scheduled Kali Puja immersion procession was completed peacefully and without any hindrance,” the Kolkata police concluded.

Elon Musk slams CNN for peddling lies about Donald Trump, tells the channel to change its name to ‘Disinformation News Network’

On Thursday (31st October), Elon Musk slammed Cable News Network (CNN) for deliberately misquoting Donald Trump about former House Representative, Liz Cheney.

Liz is the daughter of former US Vice President Dick Cheney, who oversaw the US invasion of Iraq during the George Bush administration. Donald Trump had been critical of the regime change wars of the US and proponents of hawkish foreign policies such as Liz and Dick Cheney.

On Thursday, Trump lashed out at ‘war hawk’ Liz Cheney for supporting endless wars and endangering the lives of US armed forces. His comments were later twisted by ‘experts’ at CNN to suggest that the former US President wanted Liz Cheney to be shot.

“She is a radical war hawk. Let us put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, okay? Let us see how she feels about it, when the guns are trained on her face,” he told journalist Tucker Carlson in Arizona.

“They are all war hawks when they are sitting in Washington in a nice building saying let us send 10,000 troops right into the mouth of the enemy,” Donald Trump exposed the sinister agenda of Liz Cheney.

The former US President emphasised, “She is a stupid person. I used to have meetings with a lot of people and she always wanted to go to war with people.”

CNN quotes Donald Trump out of context

Although Donald Trump asked Liz Cheney to walk the talk and fight with guns if she wished to continue her hawkish foreign policy stance, the Cable News Network (CNN) chose to quote him out of context. ‘Experts’ at the leftist propaganda outlet went on to suggest that the former US President wanted the killing of Liz Cheney.

“I do not think you even need to call it fired upon. He is saying quite explicitly and unambiguously that Liz Cheney should be shot, executed by a firing squad,” claimed one pro-Democrat expert.

While attributing false motives to Donald Trump, he brazened out, “Let us execute a political opponent who happens to be a woman because I do not like her.”

“Four days out from Election Day, and former President Donald Trump is escalating his violent rhetoric, suggesting one of his most prominent critics, the former Congresswoman Liz Cheney, should be fired upon,” CNN’s news presenter Kasie Hunt stated.

Another pro-Democrat host claimed,”When he says nine barrels shooting at her, that obviously evokes images of a firing squad. It evokes images of an execution.”

Distraught by CNN’s brazen propaganda, Elon Musk told the channel to rename itself as ‘Disinformation News Network (DNN)’.

Canada now officially calls India a ‘state adversary’, accuses India of cyber-attacks against Canadians

Canada now officially calls India a ‘state adversary’, accuses India of cyber-attacks against Canadians

Canada continues to make baseless allegations against India, and now an official document lists India as an adversary or enemy. A security report released on Wednesday by Canada’s cyber security agency said that there are threats of cyber attacks from India.

The National Cyber Threat Assessment 2025-2026 prepared by Canadian Centre for Cyber Security lists India under the section “Cyber threat from state adversaries”. Other countries included in the list are China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea.

The report states that countries like India are building cyber programs that present varying levels of threat to Canada. The section on India in the report states, “India’s leadership almost certainly aspires to build a modernized cyber program with domestic cyber capabilities.India very likely uses its cyber program to advance its national security imperatives, including espionage, counterterrorism, and the country’s efforts to promote its global status and counter narratives against India and the Indian government. We assess that India’s cyber program likely leverages commercial cyber vendors to enhance its operations.”

It further states, “We assess that Indian state-sponsored cyber threat actors likely conduct cyber threat activity against Government of Canada networks for the purpose of espionage. We judge that official bilateral relations between Canada and India will very likely drive Indian state-sponsored cyber threat activity against Canada.”

The report alleges that after Canada accused India of involvement in the killing Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a pro-India hacktivist group claimed to have defaced and conducted brief DDoS attacks against websites in Canada, including the public-facing website of the Canadian Armed Forces.

Caroline Xavier, Chief of the Canadian Communications Security Establishment (CSE), reiterated the allegations against India at a press conference. She said, “It is possible that we may see India wants to flex those cyber threat actions against Canadians”. She further added, “It is clear that we are seeing India being an emerging cyber threat actor.”

Caroline Xavier said that after PM Trudeau’s allegations against India last year on Nijjar’s murder, there have been disinformation campaigns from those working for India.

These allegations have emerged amid ongoing diplomatic tensions between the two nations after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau implicated Indian agents in the murder of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in British Columbia. Although Trudeau asserted that the Canadian government has intelligence linking India to Nijjar’s murder, he acknowledged the lack of concrete evidence.

Recently, Canada has made many new allegations in the matter, including the claim that the order to attack Khalistani elements in Canada was issued by Home Minister Amit Shah.

India has categorically denied these claims, dismissing them as baseless and politically motivated, alleging that Canada’s stance may be influenced by domestic political pressures. This dispute led to mutual expulsions of diplomats and has further fuelled accusations of interference​.

Kerala Story in Uttarakhand: Minor Hindu girl brainwashed into preaching Islam after meeting Muslim girl, then eloped with barber Salman, three arrested

A major controversy erupted in Uttarakhand after a minor girl was abducted by a barber named Salman in Pauri Garhwal. Local Hindus have taken to the streets in protest of the incident. The state women’s commission asked for strict action against the accused. The police have also arrested Salman and two other perpetrators. Now, shocking details have come to light including the girl’s clever brainwashing.

State Women Commission Chairperson Kushum Kandwal has spoken to Senior Superintendent of Police Ayush Aggarwal over the phone and demanded strict action against the offenders. She has directed a commission team to provide the victim with counselling and proper care. The girl has been kept in the “One Stop Center” while the offenders have been sent to jail. Kushum Kandwal asserted there is no place for incidents like love jihad and religious conversion in Devbhoomi (land of Gods). She added that girls in the state are being lured and misled in the name of friendship by those who change their names (pretend to be Hindu) on social media. She called upon the parents and law enforcement agencies to be vigilant.

Tehri Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Ayush Aggarwal mentioned that 23-year-old Salman alias Ishaan and his 24-year-old relative Shan Malik alias Imran have been apprehended from their house in Najibabad, Uttar Pradesh. A local, Rakesh Bhatt (32) was also nabbed for helping the girl who is from Kirtinagar abscond with the accused. Ayush Aggarwal informed that the management of a school under the Kirtinagar police station area filed a complaint in the police station on 26th October. It stated that a juvenile girl created a fake account on social media to propagate Islam. Afterwards, the authorities arranged for her to receive counselling before her family members who came to know about the development.

According to the police official, the girl is sixteen years old and enrolled in class 10th. On 28th October, her mother filed a complaint against Salman at the Kirtinagar police station. He was accused of harassing her daughter and attempting to convert her to Islam. A case was then filed by the police. He added that the girl went missing about 11 pm on the day her mother lodged the complaint. The enraged locals demonstrated and damaged the shops of Salman and other Muslims. The situation had become tense. The people had given a 12-hour ultimatum to the police to recover the girl and arrest the accused.

A police team started investigating the call details and CCTV footage of the accused and the girl. She was seen coming and exiting with two persons in the CCTV footage of a gym in Ufalda. They were recognized as Mohsin and Rakesh Bhatt from Ghildiyal village in Kirtinagar. The teen also changed her clothes at the gym after travelling there from her house after which she was taken to Najibabad. Rakesh Bhatt had first called her to his house and then went out with Mohsin from there. After identification, the cops went to Moazzampur Tulsi in the Garhi police station area of ​​Najibabad and recovered the girl. The accused were also caught, presented in a court and later thrown behind bars. A case was registered against them under the Uttarakhand Religious Freedom Act and the Protection of Children Against Sexual Offences Bill (POCSO) Act.

The victim was reportedly in contact with a Muslim girl in Srinagar across Alaknanda. The latter used to send her videos and links to social media handles, among other things related to Islam. She used to follow them and was indoctrinated. She had changed her name to ‘Muslim Amin Mirza’ on her social media handle and started preaching Islam. The school administration filed a police complaint after learning about it. Her family also became aware of her actions.

Meanwhile, it was found that she was in contact with Salman who was living in the same area. The two have been communicating with each other for the last seven months. Her family had launched a complaint against him under multiple charges including an attempt to change her religion. Salman and Mohsin used to tempt the girl in the name of mobile recharge and money. The latter works as a carpenter in Ufalda. He is currently on the run and the police are searching for him as well as conducting raids at various locations to capture him.

Madhya Pradesh: Tensions grip Indore after clashes between two communities over bursting crackers; stones pelted, cars vandalised

Tensions gripped the city of Indore after a dispute broke out between two neighbours belonging to different communities over bursting firecrackers on Friday, the day after Diwali. The argument quickly intensified, leading to both sides throwing stones at each other, resulting in minor injuries to a few individuals, a report published in Jagran quoting police sources said.

Reportedly, the dispute sparked off in the Chhatripura area of Indore, where some children were setting off firecrackers in the afternoon. Some individuals from the other community, presumably “Samuday Vishesh”, grew angry and damaged parked vehicles along the road, smashing the car windows.

A large police presence arrived at the scene and promptly resolved the situation. The injured are receiving treatment at the hospital, and the police have launched an investigation, with actions to follow based on its findings.

“The clash occurred in the Ravidas Pura area of the Chhatripura police station jurisdiction. Some children were setting off crackers on Friday afternoon, sparking a conflict between neighbours from different communities. Three people sustained injuries and are receiving medical treatment,” the Jagran report quoted DCP Zone 4 Rishikesh Meena as saying.

He added, “Around 80 police officers have been deployed to maintain security in the area, and the situation is currently under control. We urge everyone in Indore to disregard any rumours or misinformation. Strict action will be taken against those found responsible.”

After the incident, Eklavya Gaur, son of MLA Malini Gaur, visited the Chhatripura police station along with members of Hindu groups, calling for strict punishment against those involved from the opposing side. Additional officers from Malharganj, Pandrinath, and Sarafa stations have been sent to the scene.

A Muslim mob in Faridabad attacks a Hindu family for celebrating Diwali and bursting crackers

Earlier yesterday, in Faridabad, Haryana, a Hindu family was reportedly attacked by Muslims over the use of firecrackers during Diwali celebrations. The incident occurred in the Anandpur locality, where family members, including children and women, were allegedly assaulted by a Muslim mob led by two men, Raj and Ashiq. They also molested the daughter of the family, tore her clothes, and tried to sexually assault her. As a result, the victim’s family has decided to leave the area, offering to sell their house.

As per reports, the minor son of Durga Prasad was bursting firecrackers outside their house in Subhash Colony. Enraged at this, some Muslims led by Raj and Ashiq from the neighbourhood arrived and asked him to stop bursting firecrackers. This led to an argument with the family, after which the mob attacked them.

They pelted stones and bricks on the house, and the family retreated inside and locked the door. But the mob barged into the house by smashing the main door and assaulted the family members. They hit the family members including women with sticks.  Even after this, the mob was not satisfied, and they molested the kid’s elder sister, tore her clothes, touched her inappropriately, and attempted to rape her. They scratched her body with nails, causing injuries.
