Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 3 (IANS) Relatives of Captain Smit Machchhar on Saturday said that the way he saved 170 lives on board flydubai flight FZ1073, despite being attacked by his co-pilot, will serve as motivation for aspiring pilots. Kishorbhai Machchhar, uncle of Captain Machchhar, said that though he has not spoken to his nephew, he has got to know from the latter's father that the pilot is now stable. I will go to meet him at his home in Dubai once he is discharged from the hospital...we just want him to come home, then we will have a grand celebration, he told IANS. Further, the pilot's uncle said that the incident has conveyed a message to the world, aviation is not just a glamorous sector. The foremost priority is the safety of passengers...Smit's courageous act will serve as a motivation for aspiring pilots, he said. On Friday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke on a video call to Captain Smit Machchhar, where the latter told him that he kept chanting 'Hanuman Chalisa' while fighting off the attacker co-pilot. The pilot's aunt, Sonal Machchhar, recalled that the parents played 'Hanuman Chalisa' while putting the Machchhar siblings to sleep during their childhood. Speaking to IANS, she said: Since their childhood, we would play the Hanuman Chalisa while putting the children to sleep at night. In the morning, everyone would seek blessings at the temple built inside the house. Hanuman Chalisa is also kept in our temple. This is how all the children have grown up. Sonal added that Smit Machchhar, along with his cousin brother (her son), was initially expected to join the family's textile business. The pilot's cousin also works at flydubai airline. They were also pursuing education accordingly. But one day, both of them came and said that they wanted to pursue aviation. Though we were surprised at first, we then supported them. They studied in New Zealand and have progressed so well, she said. Regarding meeting with the Maharashtra Chief Minister, she said: Devendra Fadnavis ji reassured us, praying for Smit's speedy recovery. He also told us to contact him if we needed anything. Smit Machchhar's cousin sister Pooja Ganatra said that though the news regarding her cousin was all over television and social media on the day of the incident, the family was not sure whether the pilot was on the same flight or not. My (biological) brother is also in flydubai. He received a call that Smit was injured. He called me, and that is how I came to know about it. Obviously, the family was very disturbed. I went and informed his parents and my parents as well, took care of them and sent Smits parents to Dubai, where the family met him. He is stable now, she told IANS. Ganatra, who is the Centre Head of FlyBy Aviation Academy in Mumbai, called her cousin brother's courageous act a proud moment for the world. Certainly, this is a moment of pride for the entire world, but as a family, it is a very emotional moment for us. We will only pray that he recovers at the earliest and hope that he returns home soon. He also greatly respects Narendra Modi ji...while speaking to him, he also became very emotional, she said.

NHRC orders probe into mobilisation of minors at Mumbai protest
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 3 (IANS) The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has taken cognisance of complaints alleging the use and mobilisation of minor children during the protest held in Mumbai on October 2 and their subsequent exposure through photographs and videos circulated on social media. A Bench presided over by Member Priyank Kanoongo has issued notices to the Mumbai Police Commissioner; Maharashtras Department of Women and Child Development; social media platform X; and the Union Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), directing them to take immediate action and submit Action Taken Reports (ATRs) within one week. The action has been initiated under Section 12 of the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993, which empowers the NHRC to inquire into alleged violations of human rights. The apex human rights body observed that the allegations prima facie raise serious concerns relating to the dignity, safety, privacy, protection and possible exploitation of children. According to the complaints filed by Sewa Nyaya Utthan Foundation and another organisation, posts on X allegedly depicted a young child being held above a crowd carrying the National Flag and a placard, while slogans were being raised and several persons recorded the child on mobile phones. The complaints alleged that children were involved by persons associated with the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP), and sought examination of the role of organisers, coordinators, accompanying adults and every person who allegedly brought, prompted, encouraged, facilitated or mobilised the participation of minors in the gathering. The complaints also referred to purported group and chat discussions concerning the planning and coordination of the protest, where the participation of minors was allegedly discussed in advance. It was specifically alleged that discussions took place regarding the involvement of minors on the premise that police may not detain them, raising concerns over whether their status as children was consciously sought to be used to avoid, restrict or discourage lawful police action. The material referred to Ajinkya Shinde, Abhijit Dipke, Saurav Das and other persons, whose respective roles, communications and coordination in relation to the alleged planning, mobilisation or facilitation of participation of minors have been directed to be independently verified on the basis of the complete digital trail and other evidence. The NHRC observed that the issue was not confined to the mere presence of children at a public gathering and said the allegations, if established, could indicate planned mobilisation or instrumental use of minors with knowledge of their age and vulnerability. It further said the allegations raised concerns requiring immediate examination under the child-protection and criminal-law framework, including Sections 75 and 83(2) of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015. The NHRC has directed the Mumbai Police Commissioner to examine the entire video, photographic, social-media and other digital material concerning the incident and register an FIR wherever commission of cognisable offences is disclosed, followed by investigation strictly in accordance with law.

Meanwhile, the album published by Saba also included a picture of her with her niece and nephew, Sara Ali Khan and Ibrahim Ali Khan. Saba and Saif's mother, Sharmila Tagore, can also be seen in the photo. The caption for the pic went, Before the party ...with the Munchkins!

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 3 (IANS) A case has been registered on Saturday against supporters of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) for holding an unauthorised gathering, raising slogans and making announcements at the Shivaji Park in Mumbai. According to Mumbai Police, around 400 to 500 unidentified supporters and protesters, including CJP members Ajinkya Shinde, Pranay Ahire, Ashutosh Ranka, Abhijeet Dipke, Saurav Das, Afreen Nawaz, Soumya Korde, Ankit Bhardwaj, Vijay Malangi and Yogesh Ingale, gathered without permission at Gate number 6 of Shivaji Park grounds, in front of the Meenatai Thackeray Memorial in Dadar West. The gathering reportedly took place between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. within the jurisdiction of the Shivaji Park police station. Police said the protesters gathered on a public road and raised slogans creating a law and order situation. Loudspeakers were also reportedly installed without the required permission. Following the incident, the Shivaji Park police registered a case against the concerned persons under Sections 189(2) and 223 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), along with Sections 37(1), 37(3) and 135 of the Maharashtra Police Act. On Friday, the CJP had launched its 'Jail Bharo' protest, demanding the immediate resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, amid reports of purported differences within the Election Commission. Despite heavy police deployment and the denial of formal permission to hold the protest at Shivaji Park, thousands of citizens and supporters reportedly gathered at the venue. Slogans targeting the Central government and the Election Commission were raised during the demonstration. The protest, described by organisers as 'Season 2' of their movement, was held despite the Mumbai Police denying permission. Security personnel were deployed in large numbers, while barricades were erected across parts of the Dadar area. The demonstration also received support from public figures, intellectuals and Bollywood personalities, who attended the event and spoke about the importance of voting rights and democratic institutions. Among those present were actors Shabana Azmi and Naseeruddin Shah, as well as musician Vishal Dadlani. The personalities who attended the gathering reiterated the importance of protecting voting rights and democratic institutions. Actor Prakash Raj also extended his support through a recorded visual message, urging citizens to safeguard democratic values. Addressing the gathering, CJP founder Abhijit Dipke had criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. Dipke formally launched the 'Jail Bharo' call and said that peaceful assembly in defence of voting rights was a fundamental constitutional right. He also challenged the Maharashtra Chief Minister over police warnings against unlawful assembly. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, you spoke about putting us in jail for just three days. Had you said three months, the whole of Mumbai would have been brought to a complete standstill, Dipke said.
