00:1510-year-old abducted from the road. Rapists cover child's mouth, drags her away.
00:22Heart-wrenching child assault shocker in Tamil Nadu. Images of ghastly crime posted by BJP's
00:28Annamalai. This is the very video we are speaking of, the CCTV which has picked up this very incident
00:35unfold where a 10-year-old has been abducted from the road. We're going full screen to just show you
00:41how things unfolded there and it is a gruesome case that has come to light. It's been captured
00:48all on camera. A 10-year-old having been abducted from the road and this is in Tiruvallur, post which
00:55the entire video showed heart-wrenching visuals of how the rapists covered the child's mouth and
01:02then drag her away from this very road. These are the latest information that we are in fact
01:07bringing to you. Pramod Madhav joins us on the broadcast to bring us more details. Pramod,
01:12very gruesome, very trenching and heartbreaking, the visuals that we see at this point. Help us
01:18understand what more details are we picking up on this very incident. Has any arrests been made so far?
01:23Certainly. This is a shocking and like kind of a scary visual that is actually going down on social
01:31media especially and this was picked up by the BJP former state president Anna Murray who has
01:36tweeted it right now claiming that a sexual assault has undergone sexual assault and unfortunately the
01:40culprit has not been apprehended even after five days. Actually it has become six days right now
01:45and this has occurred in a location. We've been told near Gumuripundi in Tiruvallur district but
01:50however our police officers are also claiming that they're looking outside the culprit. One
01:55information we've got so far is that the child was, as she was walking alone, the man had tried to
02:02abduct her, he had gagged her and tried to take her to a bush after which she had apparently raised an
02:08alarm due to which we've been informed that like the police authorities confirmed this so far
02:13because the investigation is going on but we've been informed that the child was able to escape from the complete sexual assault and she ran to her grandmother as such and to her relatives.
02:24Annamalai claims that such an incident has occurred and that incident is absolutely scary and he's seeking
02:30Right, Pramod I'm very sorry but I'll have to interrupt you there. Please stay with us. We also have Kowai Satyan from the AIA DMK joining us on the broadcast.
02:39Mr Satyan, thank you for speaking to us but we are speaking at a time when such an unfortunate but more than unfortunate a horrific incident seems to have played out in Tiruvallur in Tamil Nadu.
02:50The party's first reaction to what exactly has happened.
02:54Truly shocking. This is what we've been saying in this state that women and children are not safe.
03:00There are incidents from where a 5-year-old to an 80-year-old are being raped and this incident where a 4-standard kid
03:08being kidnapped on a broad daylight and raped and she is undergoing treatment.
03:15Look at the plight of law and order in this state, the safety of women and children.
03:21And the chief minister is clueless about it.
03:24He only makes all the statements and big statements but on reality it's different.
03:29Stalin should hang his head in shame.
03:33Polis are not able to do anything.
03:36They couldn't make any head away in this case.
03:37At this point, Mr Satyan, what would you say?
03:42Where is the Tamil Nadu police going this from?
03:45Not only do we not see girl children or girls or women in Tamil Nadu back-to-back cases that have been coming in from the state,
03:53not only do we see a big question mark arising on their safety but also post such cases come to light.
04:01The investigation as well.
04:03Where are we seeing such a big gap in terms of law and order in the state?
04:08The police has got an SOP and they have an intelligence being and they keep a track of habitual offenders.
04:18They don't let them go free and they have informed us.
04:22So prevention is better than cure is what the police force is being taught.
04:25That's what the job of the intelligence and if there were any offenses that happens, even despite that,
04:32they have to be quick action enough to nab the culprits.
04:35You have a CCTV images and he seems to know that the person knows the location because that's a secluded area.
04:42He knows that there's a secluded place.
04:43He knows that he can kidnap a kid where area is secluded, which means that he is very familiar with that location.
04:49So it is not a big task for the police force to get into their shoes and ensure speedy justice.
04:57But here the police force are the puppets in the hands of this DMK.
05:00And many offenses that have been committed are either DMK members themselves or somebody who has got close association with DMK
05:06or they will be under the influence of drugs.
05:10And they are clueless.
05:12They have no powers in their hands to act according to the books of law.
05:16They are puppets in the hands of this incompetent DMK.
05:19And the common man has to bear the burnt of this incompetence.
05:26Starting from putting his life at stake and starting from putting his children,
05:30who are five-year-old to eight-year-old mother, they are putting their lives at stake.
05:35Law and order is in shambles.
05:39You know, you're speaking of prevention is better than cure, but that's not the situation.
05:43The situation, rather, would speak otherwise.
05:46This is not the first such case that's coming in from the state in the recent past.
05:52They have not learned the legend.
05:55They have not learned the legend.
05:57They are not following the books.
05:59Would you say AIATMT is doing its part in demanding accountability and ensuring that the government works
06:06and the police officers, the law and order in the state also works accordingly?
06:10The accountability has to be in action.
06:14And whatever CM's action will infuse confidence among the minds of the people.
06:18But when there is no action from this incompetent M.K. Stalin,
06:22where would the public, general public, get the confidence that the law is there,
06:27the system is there by their side to deliver justice?
06:30And what is this government has done, concretely, so that it can infuse confidence among a common man?
06:38Starting from the lockup murder, till now, all the actions of DMK were only seen as an eyewash.
06:44It does not infuse confidence among a common man.
06:47And we demand accountability, we demand responsibility, and we demand actions
06:52on those people who had fought in delivering their work,
06:58which unfortunately is not happening.
07:01Right, right.
07:02Mr. Satin, thank you so much for speaking to us on India Today.
07:05These are the latest that we are picking up.
07:07It's a gauri incident that's come to light from the state of Tamil Nadu viewers.
07:11We will keep a track of how the investigation continues as this case is now being looked into.
07:17But the focus doesn't shift from the state.
07:27We are now taking a look at breaking news that's coming in from the political world of Tamil Nadu.
07:33EPS targets the DMK allies, claims Stalin destroying his own allied parties,
07:39promises to welcome the DMK allies with red carpet,
07:42hence major party to join the AIA-DMK soon.
07:46This is the big breaking news that we are bringing to you.
07:50EPS has targeted DMK allies, claims Stalin is destroying his own allied parties.
07:56This may in fact be a big implication or a hint at further strengthening the alliance
08:03that already exists between the AIA-DMK and the BJP.
08:07The two parties already coming into alliance just a few months back last year.
08:12And now we see EPS hinting at a bigger alliance.
08:16Whether DMK's other allied parties will be joining EPS's hand or not,
08:21that is something we are awaiting as many such developments will be seen in the upcoming months
08:26as we are heading to polls next year in the state.
08:28Let's quickly listen in to what EPS had to say on this matter.
08:31Thank you very much.
09:05Every day comes in love and less this позвол displays unprecedented fashion.
09:10A new or newable day came from Peace Osol.
09:13When he comes back to us, he comes back to us.
09:16Where does he come from?
09:19You have seen it here?
09:34Pramod Madhav joins us on the broadcast to bring us more details into this political
09:48development from all the let's also understand at this point that there's a
09:52big hint coming in from the aia DMK top leader at this given point are we looking
09:59at a potential of other allied parties of the DMK changing sides before elections in 2026
10:06well one thing is very certain it looks like EPS has started his fiery campaign earlier he was
10:11talking about corruption and such and he was talking about various issues within DMK but
10:15right now he is targeting the allied parties of DMK because we have VCK which is a Dalit centric
10:21party we have the left parties communist party and and CPM and CPI and also the Congress party
10:26this is where he tries to claim like recent events where the communist party had an issue
10:30where they were not allowed to conduct a conference in one of the locations in
10:33Tamil Nadu so same meant for VCK as well in fact VCK leader Thirma Vallavan even spoke on it openly that
10:38even after being an allied party they are not allowed to hoist their flag in the
10:42platforms and stuff so these are the things that EPS is highlighting in a way kind of saying
10:46that if you join a aia DMK aia DMK will welcome you with a red carpet and this way he's trying to
10:54show that aia DMK is open for more parties to join even from DMK and he also claims that they're
11:00like you know in a way that more seats will be provided as the allied parties are seeking with
11:04DMK and a very important aspect is that he's also hinting that a major party is going to join
11:10aia DMK will it be Congress will it be Vijay's TVK or perhaps PMK is something he can he might soon
11:18explain but that way he wants to send kind of like waves within DMK alliance that such a kind
11:23of alliance is forming within aia DMK right promote thank you for bringing us all those details into
11:29this very story it's a developing story at this given point viewers and we are keeping a track of
11:33all the political developments that's coming in from the state as it heats up
11:40but with that as we speak of political temperatures they're definitely on the rise in
11:45Tamil Nadu ahead of polls that's to take place next year that is 2026 now amid speculations over
11:51the terms of the bjp and the aia DMK alliance in the state the aia DMK chief edapadi k palanaswami
11:58has said there will be no power sharing not just that he has also said the aia DMK will form the
12:04government in the state and that he will be the chief minister now aps has also clarified over
12:09home ministers remarks that there would be a coalition government in the state if the nda wins the 2026
12:15polls he has said that it is not going to be an alliance government but that alliance will
12:20form the government with him leading the alliance and deciding on power sharing while Tamil Nadu
12:25chief minister has taunted eps saying that the voters of the state will say goodbye forever to the
12:30opposition leader after the polls and this after aipadi palanaswami hit out at the chief minister
12:36earlier with the bye-bye stallion chants let's take a look at the reactions that's coming so far

13:26Sir, do you want to say a third match?
16:42Now, with that, viewers, we are moving on to the neighboring state of Karnataka, wherein Sidramaya Cabinet is to discuss the RCB Victory Celebration Stampede report.
16:53In today's meeting, now, the State Cabinet is expected to deliberate on the tragic stampede incident during the RCB Victory Celebration, which claimed the lives of 11 fans.
17:03The discussion will center around the report that was submitted by the one-man commission of inquiry headed by retired High Court Judge John Michael Kunha.
17:11This was on July 12.
17:13Now, the Kunha Commission's findings, which have already formally been submitted to the government, will be reviewed in detail during today's Cabinet meeting.
17:21Remember, in the preliminary updates that we had gotten from the report, it was seen that there were multiple stakeholders that were being blamed in this very report who are being held accountable for this very stampede that has taken place.
17:35And today, we are going to see a formal review of it happening.
17:39Sagai Raya joins us on the broadcast to bring us more details.
17:42Sagai, very good morning to you.
17:44The report was submitted on July 12th, only a few days back.
17:48We had seen from the preliminary details that had come in of the very report, several stakeholders were to blame at this point.
17:56And there was a big negligence, big gap in planning this very event or even, for that matter, permitting this very event to take place.
18:05Absolutely.
18:06There are a lot of questions which should be answered by many agencies, whether it is Polis, KSEA, RCB or even, for the fact, intelligence, which has failed in this entire incident, killing 11 innocent fans who had come to celebrate RCB's victory here near Shinnaswami Stadium.
18:24And if you notice that the report has already been submitted by Michael D. Kunna, where he has accused RCB and KSEA, which has gone ahead and organized the program without even taking the permission.
18:36And what you also get to learn through our sources is that Kunna has also slammed the police because they had anticipated that the crowd might come like how it comes for a cricket match.
18:49And they didn't expect that a large, huge crowd gathering in front of Shinnaswami Stadium, which was three to four times more than what it was earlier.
18:58Right, Sagai. Sagai, do stay with us. We have more information that we are picking up from the state of Karnataka, a different story that we are bringing to you viewers.
19:07This is breaking news that we are picking up. Let's take a look.
19:10With that Karnataka huddle to share spoils of power, Chief Minister, Deputy Chief Minister and Central Observers meet up for grabs.
19:38What exactly is up for grabs? Let's take a look and take you through it.
19:42Lucrative government positions, Karnataka Congress workers clamor for cushy jobs, big rush to grab cooperation, board postings, meetings on political appointment inconclusive.
19:53Now, Chief Minister Sidramaya heads to Delhi to finalize the very list that's been in question.
19:58Chief Minister Sidramaya, Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shiv Kumar and Randeep Sooyewala hold a key meeting at the private hotel.
20:05Chief Minister Sidramaya and Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shiv Kumar and the AICC General Secretary Randeep Sooyewala have in fact held this meeting in Bengaluru itself.
20:16The high-level discussion is focused on the allocation of cooperation and board positions to party workers across the state.
20:23The meeting comes amid growing pressure from party cutters seeking political appointments at this point.
20:29So, these are the updates that we bring to you and Sagay continues to stay with us.
20:33Sagay, this is a big meeting and however, it still continues to be inconclusive in terms of who shall make the cut and have their names on the list.
20:42But yes, big, cushy roles definitely seem to be up for grabs for those who will finally make it to the list at this point.
20:49Absolutely. And if you notice that there are a series of meetings which have been held by the Congress leaders,
20:56whether it is Surjee Balaar, Karnat Karchemil Sidramaya, and even D.K. Shukumar.
21:02And there was a meeting which had happened last week in Delhi where all the trio had met in Delhi.
21:08And subsequently, they had scheduled a meeting yesterday here in Bengaluru.
21:12And the meeting lasted for more than two hours in a private hotel in the city.
21:17And thereafter, it was inconclusive.
21:20And they said that they need to have another round of meeting in Delhi again,
21:24where they will be discussing with the high command about the next course of action
21:28and who all the people will be appointed as a board of corporations as directors.
21:32So, we need to wait till probably 25th of this month where the final decision will be taken
21:38by the Karnatka government as well as the Congress party.
21:43Right, Sagai. This is the particular update, viewers, that we are bringing to you.
21:47Sagai, also I would want to ask you that so far, whatever meetings have taken place,
21:53including the one that's taken place last night, are there any names that's coming to the forefront?
21:58Or for that matter, this very meeting that is now to take place,
22:03wherein Chief Minister Sidramaya travels to Delhi, are there updates that we are picking up on that,
22:08on what has been discussed so far till yesterday night?
22:12So, there are multiple leaders as well as the MLEAs who are frontrunners for many of the boards and corporation heads.
22:22But there are a lot of negotiations which is happening, there are a lot of lobby which is happening on this.
22:28Remember, even the MLEAs who are in the Legislative Council are also batting for this.
22:33So, the Congress party, we have to look into all these aspects and also need to keep the flock together.
22:39And they are working out their formula to ensure that they get everybody on board when it comes to the decision
22:46of appointment of these directors and heads of the corporations.
22:52Right, Sagar, thank you for bringing us all those details into this very story.
22:56Yes, it has been developing over the last couple of days and weeks now.
23:01And we are keeping a track of all the developments coming in.
23:04For now, that's all we are picking up from the state of Krenataka.
23:07The probe continues into one of the biggest aviation disasters that the country has witnessed, the AI-171 crash.
23:31Now, U.S. media, in this breaking news, we bring to you what the U.S. media has come out to report.
23:35AI crash probe focus on pilot Sabarwal.
23:39Air India crash probe focuses on the actions of the plane's captain.
23:42Wall Street Journal has come out to report July 17.
23:46And this is from Reuters, a cockpit recording of the dialogue between the two pilots of Air India flight that crashed last month.
23:53Indicates that the captain cut the flow of fuel to the plane's engines.
23:57The Wall Street Journal has reported on Wednesday.
23:59The newspaper cited people familiar with the U.S. officials' early assessment of evidence that was uncovered in the investigation into the June 12 crash in Ahmedabad that killed 260 people.
24:10The first officer who was flying the Boeing Opens' new tab, 787 Dreamliner, asked the more experienced captain why he moved the fuel switches to the cut-off position seconds after lifting off the runway.
24:23And that is what the report has come out to reveal.
24:27Now, the two pilots involved were Captain Sumit Sabarwal and the first officer, Clive Kundar, who had total flying experiences of 15,638 hours and 3,403 hours, respectively.
24:38India's AAIB Directorate General of Civil Aviation, Ministry of Civil Aviation, Boeing and Air India did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comments on the Wall Street Journal report.
24:50A preliminary report, however, into the crash released by the Indian Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau, that is the body that's investigating, one of the bodies that's investigating the matter, on Saturday said that the fuel switches had switched off from run to cut-off.
25:03A brief conversation where the pilot, one of the pilots asks the other why the transition was done of the fuel switch to which the other pilot says that he did not do it.
25:12But now there seems to be more behind that very two second or probably a second conversation that had taken place between the two pilots.
25:19It did not, the report did not, however, mention how the switches were flipped.
25:25Initially, there was an angle being looked into whether the switches had malfunctioned, which is why they had, in fact, transitioned from being on to cut-off.
25:35But now, from run to cut-off, but now we are given to understand from this very Wall Street Journal report that there seems to be more that have gone down and Captain Sumit Sabarwal, who also tragically lost his life in this very incident, his role is being looked at and is being focused at.
25:52So, these are the latest details that we are bringing to you viewers. Amit Bhardwa joins us on the broadcast for more details at this point. Amit, you know, the pilot's role is something that's being looked at since day one.
26:05There has been an angle in the investigation of whether this could have been humanly caused, this very crash could have been the responsibility of one of the pilots.
26:16They were the ones who were accountable because of the very switch that later, in fact, was revealed. The switch transmission is what led to it.
26:22But who flipped the switch or rather how did the switch flip? That remains to be the question still and now the focus comes to Captain Sabarwal.
26:30Well, Shreya, you know, a section of Western media has been continuously reporting in a manner and way that it boils down to the role of the pilot.
26:43You would remember a few days back, the headlines after the AAIB report in, again, a section of Western media was pilot confusion possibly led to the crash of AI-171,
26:56which, in fact, was not the case when we go by the facts of the AAIB report, because the AAIB report did not directly blame either the pilot or the technical glitch for that matter, Air India or Boeing for that matter.
27:15You know, what we certainly know, that the crash happened due to the transition of the fuel control switches, which is supposed to be on the run position and it transitioned from run to cutoff immediately after takeoff.
27:30Does the AAIB report mention whether this transition happened due to human error? No.
27:36Does this report, AAIB initial report, indicate that a technical glitch? No.
27:43Yes, the entire investigation we have been reporting since the AAIB report was out will be on three angles.
27:50No. 1, whether there was a technical glitch with the FCS and, if yes, what might have led to that particular situation.
27:59No. 2, was it a manual error because of the CVR data that's available, the conversation that happened between Captain Sabarwal and Pilot Clive Kundar,
28:10so that angle is also being looked into.
28:13Third angle is whether it was due to, you know, malfunction of any other component which would have led to this transition of the fuel control switches from run position to cutoff right after the aircraft took off from Ahmedabad airport.
28:29And that is why even the OEMs, that is the original equipment manufacturers have been roped in.
28:35Now the Indian and international pilot associations have time and again repeated that any insinuation which tries to pin the blame on the pilot should be avoided at this point in time.
28:48And rightly so because neither Air India nor Boeing are off the radar of this particular investigation and this angle of whether there was, you know, mistake on behalf of the pilots, some human error, manual error, that is also being looked at this point in time.
29:07So zeroing down on Captain Sabarwal's role is something which, you know, that would make the pilots association also uncomfortable.
29:18Yes, certainly.
29:19Every aspect is being looked into in this particular investigation.
29:23How did that fuel switches transition from run to cutoff?
29:27Only three possibilities could be the technical glitch with the Boeing aircraft system itself.
29:32That's being investigated.
29:34Manual error, that's being investigated.
29:36And so is the other component aspect.
29:39And that is why OEMs have been roped in as well who are assisting in the entire investigation.
29:44Back to you.
29:45Right.
29:46Amit, you have been tracking this very probe since day one.
29:49Let's try and understand here.
29:50We've spoken at length with regards to what might have gone down with the fuel transitions, the fuel locks, the fuel switch lock at that point.
29:58That is what was being primarily focused upon when the report had first come out.
30:03But now, if we look at the pilots role, the conversation that has come out from the very recordings that were made in the cockpit,
30:11that still doesn't clearly reveal whether it was a confusion that led to the very switch being transitioned from run to cutoff,
30:19or was there a particular error that took place, technical error that took place, which led it to, in fact, be transitioned.
30:26So, while, yes, we respect what the pilots association is saying, that no insinuations should be made before the probe is completed.
30:34But at the same time, it cannot be completely overlooked when we are speaking of a probe of this sort, of such a deadly crash that's taken place.
30:42Absolutely right.
30:43And that is why, as we are also reporting that all angles are being looked at at this point in time,
30:51which might have led to this, you know, fuel cutoff switches transition.
30:56And that could be a technical glitch, that could be a manual error, that could be, you know, error with some other component,
31:03which might have led to this glitch of the FCS.
31:08So, all of that angle is being investigated at this point in time.
31:12So, and, you know, if we go by the conversation that has happened, which has been recorded in the CVR,
31:19I'm sure there were more conversation, but in the AIB report, because it has focused upon this fuel cutoff switches,
31:28and hence that, you know, contextual text has come out, where Captain Sabrawal is asking pilot Clive Kundar,
31:38as to whether he has transitioned the fuel control switches from run to cutoff, which he asked…
31:46Amit, I will stop you there, just for you to reiterate once again, because initially it was not clear which pilot has said what to each other.
31:55It was pilot one and pilot two in the very report that had come in.
31:58You're saying it was Captain Sabrawal who had asked the co-pilot Clive Kundar, is it?
32:05Shriya, well, that's what the experts are indicating at, because what happens is that now the operations happen in such a manner,
32:15that there is a pilot flying, which in this case was pilot Clive Kundar.
32:21So, he was, you know, in charge of flying the craft, and the other pilot now is in role of pilot monitoring.
32:28So, Captain Sabrawal was in the role of pilot monitoring for the day.
32:33And that is why the experts are saying that this particular question would have been from Captain Sabrawal asking Clive Kundar as to whether he has dissolved the flight controls switches,
32:47to which the pilot says, no, I have not. He denied it. So, that is a contextual text.
32:53You know, there are other conversations which might have been recorded in the CBR as well.
32:57But for now, this text has come out because the focus of the investigation seems to be the fuel controls switches transition,
33:05and what might have led to that particular situation.
33:08So, so far, Deida, these are the deductions that's been made by the experts from the report that's been released on July 12th.
33:15Let's tell you viewers, let us also take you, Amit, stay with us.
33:18Let's also take you through what exactly happened that day, right before the crash.
33:23Let's take you step by step into how the sequence of events followed.
33:27Pilots first realized that the fuel cutoff switches transition.
33:31That is, the switches that we've been consistently showing you from within the aircraft, from within the cockpit impact,
33:37that is what's transitioned from run to cutoff, which means it stops the fuel to get to the engines.
33:44Now, engines, as a matter of fact, shut down mid-flight.
33:47And this is only, all of these developments happened only seconds after the flight took off.
33:52Now, pilot one, which as my colleague pointed out from export analysis seems to be Captain Saburwal,
33:57but again, we've not confirmed that.
33:59It's just preliminary analysis from the report.
34:01Asked pilot two that why did you cut off the engine fuel switches?
34:05And to which the second pilot, in fact, ended up replying that I did not do it.
34:09This is the very conversation, viewers, that we are taking into account
34:13and that has in fact been the basis of a lot of analysis and interpretation that's being done
34:19by not just media from the United States, but also the investigating agencies into this very crash.
34:26Pilot issues a Mayday call post-track.
34:28We've heard that three Mayday calls in fact being issued.
34:32Mayday, Mayday, Mayday being in fact notified by the pilot.
34:35And moments later is when the plane crashed.
34:38This is the very sequence of events that took place on that fateful day.
34:42And we will in fact go back to Amit at this point to understand this and in fact see what more can we
34:49at this point analyze from what has been said.
34:52Amit, at this point I would also want to go back to some of the analysis that have,
34:58or rather information and reports that have come in with regards to the pilots and their conditions.
35:03From what we have heard so far, experts and the investigating agencies both have said that the pilots were well rested
35:10and that there was no cause of alarm to be in fact brought up with regards to the pilots state.
35:17Both of them in terms of the two people who were flying the aircraft.
35:21But now with this very report coming to light, would you say there are more details that will be looked at
35:28or that may in fact not have been ruined so far?
35:33Sure, you know, everything from the takeoff and what happens at the runway, all of it is recorded on the log sheet.
35:43So there are different log sheets which are available.
35:46And if you, you know, when even a common person takes or comes on board of a flight,
35:53you might have noticed that there are red book at very point when you are taking, you know, finally boarding the aircraft.
36:00And so there are N number of such log sheets which are maintained for a flight to take off.
36:07So everything is being looked into.
36:09So we are looking into whether the pilots were well rested,
36:12what was their medical condition when they were flying,
36:16you know, the record of these pilots, their past records as well.
36:22Everything will be looked into.
36:23And these data are already available with the agencies.
36:28Many of this data is already part of Air India's voluntary, you know, declaration,
36:33which is part of the compliance of the DGCA and which happens in any aircraft that takes off.
36:39So that will be also taken into account.
36:42As far as the equipments, other components are concerned,
36:46what was their condition, when were they repaired,
36:49when was the last replacement done,
36:51all of that which is already in record,
36:53that's also being taken into account.
36:55And so much so that from the wreckage site,
36:59different equipments which were found at the crash site
37:04were taken near Ahmedabad airport.
37:07A reconstruction of sorts has been done.
37:10And even the OEMs are being called in to check whether,
37:13you know, they were in the right condition or not.
37:17Or was there any kind of fault in these components?
37:19And that will be also compared to the log sheet to check as to what would happen.
37:25The log sheet is what you are referring to, Amit.
37:27Yes, absolutely.
37:28In fact, that would be an important evidence in terms of the record of how the pilot,
37:34what condition rather the pilots were in when,
37:37right before getting into the flight and in fact operating.
37:40My neighbouring country, Bangladesh.
37:43Curfew in Bangladesh seems to have been imposed after violence.
37:47Hasina supporters, Islamists,
37:49flashed four dead in widespread shooting.
37:52Dozens hit by bullets in Bangladesh shootouts.
37:55Widespread clashes in ex-Prime Minister Hasina's home turf.
37:59Bangladesh cops, in fact, gave arms to Islamists during the clashes.
38:03What we are learning.
38:04Cops cracked down.
38:05Awami League supporters.
38:07These are the latest updates that we are learning from the very neighbouring country.
38:11This is the situation that currently seems to be, in fact, unfolding there.
38:16And we'll quickly, in fact, bring in Ashutosh, who's joining us on the broadcast to bring us more details.
38:24Ashutosh, a very good morning to you.
38:26You know, it's been, it's about to be a year now since the entire protests and the ouster of Sheikh Hasina herself.
38:36And despite that, the situation nowhere seems to be under control in Bangladesh even today.
38:46Some or other places, of course, there is a tension, there is a violence that's happening.
38:51And in a fresh, what happened yesterday was the NCP, the party formed by the students of the group,
38:57who so-called claimed the uprising movement in August last year, headed by Nahid Islam,
39:03who has been also the advisor in the Dr. Yunus interim government.
39:07Eventually, they called up a rally, of course, since the elections in Neeraan, Bangladesh.
39:12But during the rally in the Gopal Ganj area, which has been the birthplace of Bangabandhu Muzhabir Rahman,
39:19and also the Sheikh Hasina's grassroots, during the rally, certain provocative slogans were also raised.
39:25They were all demanding to raise down the burial memorial site of Bangabandhu Muzhabir Rahman in Gopal Ganj.
39:32Following that, there was a protest and certain slogans by the Awami League worker,
39:37and also the student wing, which is the BCL, which is now banned by Dr. Yunus administration.
39:42And eventually, the protest from beachside, the sloganing from beachside, turned into a violent clash.
39:47So, earlier it was NCP and the Awami League that came together, came against each other.
39:52And now, immediately, that was a response that came from the police and the armed forces of Bangladesh.
39:57They immediately resorted to firing.
39:59In fact, the accusations from Awami League is coming, that how the NCP workers, armed workers,
40:05were shielded in the police escort van, in the bulletproof vans by the police and armed forces.
40:11And even till red night, certain these raids were carried out against the Awami League workers, their leaders.
40:18And many of them have been detained and arrested.
40:20But in the yesterday deadly clash, four people have been shot dead by the Bangladesh police.
40:24Multiple, more than a couple of dozen people have been injured.
40:27They were taken to the Gopal Ganj hospital because of the bullet injuries.
40:31So, that resulted just to merely protest.
40:33While we see the Hephajit-e-Islam, Jamaat-e-Islami, BNP, Dr. Yunus, all are condemning this incident.
40:39But at large, what we have seen, how a protest turned into a violent clash.
40:43Immediately police, you know, literally taking side.
40:46They started targeting the Awami League workers, the Awami League leadership.
40:50And they resorted to even firing.
40:52Now, we are following that.
40:53There is a curfew and unrest are placed in that area.
40:56The curfew have been imposed for an uncertain time.
40:58And this is now only confined in Gopal Ganj, but almost all these neighboring districts.
41:02Also, there is extreme tension now prevailing at this moment.
41:05You know, Ashutosh, let's understand this.
41:08While we understand that Mohd Yunus has come out to again condemn this very incident,
41:12but since day one, let us, I would say at this point, get very clear
41:17that the situation has not been in the control of the interim government.
41:21And we have seen, time and again, it is the military forces that take control of such situations.
41:26They are the ones, and now we are even given to understand,
41:29they were the ones who even handed arms to these very Islamists
41:32who were also on the streets during these very clashes.
41:37That really brings into focus a concerning pattern.
41:41And also, the fact that there may be no solution in sight for the longest time in Bangladesh
41:47if this is what the situation is and this is how it continues.
41:54The violence cannot be a solution at any point of time.
41:57But ever since this all started in Bangladesh, the uprising against Sheikh Hasina,
42:01the regime, the armed, the extremists, everyone where I have literally had a free hand.
42:06Even till today, if I could say, you name any distinct, including the capital city of Dhaka,
42:11there is hardly police that show some action against the radical elements.
42:16Because there is a freefall and perhaps there is also a dilemma for the governance model.
42:21You remember Dr. Yunus also came out heavily against the political party,
42:25that how can they mount pressure on him to conduct elections,
42:27or how can they mount pressure on to transfer their one advisor, one minister,
42:31how can they pressurize an administration, an interim government
42:35to remove these advisors or the rank of the ministers.
42:38So clearly, if you see the dilemma at this scale within the government,
42:42perhaps what you see the protest kind of violence being unleashed against minorities
42:47that we have seen the first that came right after the Bangladesh regime change,
42:51after Sheikh Hasina fled.
42:53But clearly, this uncertainty that growing in the different pockets of Bangladesh,
42:58it also reflecting in these images, the video that we have seen yesterday in Gopal Ganj.
43:03Almost every week, I get these kind of reports from Bangladesh,
43:06that one or certain class where there is a protest is not allowed,
43:09even factory workers, they are demanding minimum wages there,
43:12the violence is being unleashed.
43:13Last night, the way kind of brutality they have unleashed against the people,
43:17those who raised oil.
43:18Because if NCP had a fundamental right, a democratic right to protest,
43:22because they are now going to protest elections.
43:24Yes, Ashutosh, these are not isolated incidents we are speaking of,
43:27isolated escalations we are speaking of.
43:29Thank you so much for bringing us all those reports and details from the ground
43:33in terms of what exactly has been continuing in Bangladesh.
43:36At this point, that's all we have for you viewers.
43:47Now this is a concerning news that we are picking up.
43:50There's an Indian woman in the United States, arrested for theft.
43:54The woman allegedly stole goods worth $1,300 in the United States.
44:00There's a viral video that shows cops grill her, arrest the Indian.
44:04U.S. Embassy's theft warning has also been issued after the viral video was in fact posted.
44:11The U.S. Embassy has come out to say the theft burglary equals to visa cancellation.
44:17The U.S. Embassy in India has released a new advisory for the U.S. visa applicants in the post on Platform X.
44:22The embassy cautioned individuals against engaging in assault, theft or burglary while in the United States.
44:28U.S. Embassy has also said, and I quote,
44:31committing assault, theft or burglary in the United States will not just cause you legal issues,
44:36it could lead to your visa being revoked and more importantly, make you ineligible for any future U.S. visas as well.
44:43This is what the advisory reads.
44:45The video, remember, went viral showing an Indian woman being detained by the Illinois police for allegedly shoplifting $1,300 worth of goods from a Target store.
44:54This is the very video that we're speaking of.
44:56The viral body cam footage from May shows a middle-aged woman who claimed that she was visiting family from India,
45:01had come to the store to purchase gifts for them.
45:03And this is when the incident took place.
45:05Let's listen in to how the incident unfolded and the viral video where she in question post that.
45:11I'm really sorry to bother you if it is.
45:13I'm really sorry.
45:14I understand that you're sorry.
45:15I'm not from this country.
45:17I'm not going to be staying here.
45:18Okay.
45:19How far?
45:20Okay.
45:21Are you allowed to steal things in India?
45:22No.
45:23I didn't think so.
45:24Okay.
45:25The minute that all opened, he came.
45:27I returned back.
45:28I said, I was just waiting.
45:30I've not gone away.
45:31How would I even run with these bags?
45:34It's humanly impossible.
45:37Okay.
45:38They're almost done.
45:39They're at about $767.
45:40Okay.
45:41So we have a bunch of tags off, so they're trying to find them.
45:42$767?
45:43If it is that much, I don't mind paying you.
45:45No.
45:46We're past that.
45:47I don't know why you keep saying that over and over again.
45:49I told you many times we are past that.
45:52Shivani Sharma joins us on the broadcast to bring us more detail.
45:56Shivani, you know this incident not only in fact comes in to show Indians in a poor image
46:03at this given point when we speak of those who visit the United States.
46:06It's a warning as well to those who may be engaging in such activities.
46:10But more importantly, it comes in at a time where there are already visa complications
46:15going on in the United States.
46:17And this only, I would say at this point, adds to that very burden for those who want to
46:21in fact go to the US after this.
46:24Shivani, this is an incident.
46:26An undated video has been going viral where an Indian woman in the United States was caught
46:31stealing from a Target store.
46:32And that stealing process, that theft was going on for seven hours.
46:36So what is important and relevant out here is that the US Embassy in India has now brought
46:41out a warning, though not mentioning the particular case of this theft that has happened.
46:46But a warning comes and United States Embassy says that you will be subjected to US laws and your
46:53visas will also be revoked.
46:55So this can be understandable.
46:57The point where this warning has come is related to the particular case that has caught attention in
47:03United States.
47:04And this is certainly coming as a warning from the United States Embassy that if you are in
47:08United States as a visitor, you are subjected to US laws and your visa can be revoked.
47:13But here I would like to mention that the MEA has also been very particular in making this
47:18mention that the Indian visitors or the Indian citizens who are visiting other countries, they need
47:24to be responsible and they will be subjected to the laws of those countries where they are visiting.
47:28So this is yet another warning that has come from the US Embassy in India.
47:33Right Shivani, thank you for bringing us all those details into this very story and putting it into
47:37context for our viewers out there.
47:39It is a big warning that's been issued by the US Embassy in the light of this very video that's come to light now.
