Cancer patient arrested over hoax hijack threat on Air India flight at Kolkata airport
Digital Desk | Kolkata, Nov 12 (IANS) A 56-year-old cancer patient has been arrested in connection with the hoax hijack alert at a Mumbai-boundAir India flight on November 10, following which the flight had to be taken to the isolation bay at the Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport in Kolkata, as a result of which the departure of the flight was delayed for around seven hours. The accused has been identified as Partha Pratim Nandi. He was first arrested by the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel deputed for security at the airport and later handed over to cops of the NSCBI Airport Police Station under the Bidhannagar City Police, under which the airport comes. Sources aware of the development said that during interrogation, Nandi confessed that he planted the hoax hijack alert note on the flight, which resulted in the following chaos. He has also confessed to the reason that prompted him to take such a step, which was quite tragic. Nandi claimed that both he and his wife were cancer patients, and he was first supposed to move to Mumbai and subsequently from there to Africa for a job. However, as per his confession, he was unwilling to leave his cancer-affected wife alone in Kolkata and go to faraway Africa. As per his confession, he was in a disturbed state of mind while leaving the city on Wednesday, and committed the act of planting the hoax hijack alert note on the Air Flight, which he was supposed to take to Mumbai. I understand the tragic circumstances under which the accused had committed this act. But what he has done is strictly punishable under the law. Because of his act, so many other passengers who were supposed to fly to Mumbai, some with urgent purposes, including scheduled medical appointments, had to suffer. So, the law will take its own course, a Bidhannagar City Police officer said. On Wednesday, the pilot received the threat as the flight was preparing for take-off and immediately alerted Air Traffic Control (ATC). The flight was immediately shifted to an isolation bay, and security personnel immediately started search operations. Finally, the hijack alert turned out to be a hoax. The note warning that the plane would be hijacked was recovered in the flight's toilet, which was noticed by someone.

I loved seeing you in Sweden. That experience seems to have entered your body somehow. You look different. I saw the way you shook hands with people your whole hand, your whole attention given to the person in front of you. You have never looked so sure of yourself, and so free of yourself. It took me back to that old woman in the park in Saaransh. Pradhan has let go of his son Ajay's ashes, and there she is, playing with the children. The way you looked at her. That was your Buddha moment. Life had struck you, and something of that moment has stayed in your eyes, your body, your heart. I saw it again in Sweden. Mahesh said that he keeps thinking of that 28-year-old actor and that 34-year-old filmmaker talking in the compound of my home in Pali Hill. What did we give each other that day? I don't know. I could never have imagined all that would follow. You make me so, so happy. I feel the happiness of someone who once held your hand and now watches you go where I could never have taken you.

You are so much more to me than the director of my first film, Saaransh. Anupam said Mahesh is his mentor, my friend and my teacher. To receive these words from one of the finest directors, writers and authors of our country means more to me than I can express. Thank you for believing in me, for seeing my journey with such generosity, and for being such an important part of my life. I will keep striving to do work that makes you proudand perhaps earn a letter like this from you every now and then. With immense gratitude and love, Anupam.

Amul, Mother Dairy milk prices to go up by Rs 2-4 per litre from today
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Nov 12 (IANS) Consumers will have to pay more for milk from Thursday as leading dairy brands Amul and Mother Dairy announced a price increase of Rs 2-4 per litre across their liquid milk variants, citing a rise in input and operational costs. Both companies attributed the revision to increasing expenses related to fodder, cattle feed, packaging and transportation, which have added to the overall cost of milk production and distribution. In a statement, the Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF), which markets dairy products under the Amul brand, announced a 4-5 per cent increase in the prices of fresh pouch milk across major variants and pack sizes nationwide. According to the co-operative, the price of its largest-selling Amul Taaza toned milk has been increased by Rs 2 per litre, while Amul Gold milk will now cost Rs 4 more per litre. This marks the second revision in Amul's milk prices this year, following the previous hike announced in May. Explaining the latest increase, GCMMF said, The price of our largest-selling Amul Taaza toned milk with 3 per cent milk fat has been increased by only Rs 2 per litre (3.3 per cent increase) and Amul Gold Milk with 6 per cent milk fat by Rs 4 per litre (5.5 per cent rise). Separately, Mother Dairy announced a similar increase of Rs 2-4 per litre across its liquid milk variants from Thursday. The company said uneven monsoon conditions in many regions have pushed green and dry fodder prices up by as much as 20 per cent, while cattle feed costs have risen around 10 per cent over the last year, increasing production costs for dairy farmers. Mother Dairy is revising the consumer prices of its liquid milk variants in the range of Rs. 2 - 4 per litre, effective November 12, 2026, the company stated. A spokesperson for Mother Dairy said persistent inflationary pressures have also driven packaging, transportation and other operational costs higher by up to 25 per cent. Uneven monsoon conditions in several parts of the country have impacted fodder availability green and dry fodder prices have increased by up to 20 per cent, while cattle feed prices have risen by around 10 per cent over the past year adding to the cost of milk production for dairy farmers, it added. Additionally, persistent inflationary pressures have driven up packaging, transportation and other operational costs by up to 25 per cent. This sustained increase in input and operational costs has necessitated the present revision in consumer milk prices, Mother Dairy spokesperson added.

Earlier, the playback singer said that music mogul Gulshan Kumars assassination had a lot of negative implications on the music industry. When asked how the music industry changed after Gulshan Kumars assassination, he said, It was bad. Till the time he was here, it was a golden era for Hindi film music. First, he was not just a music lover or a businessman but much more than that. He had so much clarity in his mind that he could predict that music would work. The second thing is he knew how to take music publicly and how to spread it worldwide. No one had all these techniques better than him. Even today, no one has it. I am not saying he is my godfather, he is my godfather. But if you see, after Gulshan ji's death, the industry changed completely, he added.

Is the scene getting better or is it getting spoiled? So, he used to say, Yeah, it's much better. I like it. Then I told him, So, see then, tomorrow, dad will come. You show him the scene. Don't tell him first. If he says okay for the scene, you let it go. Don't tell him that I came and I did all this and all that. So, dad used to come and watch the scene. The whole scene got over. There was a pause. His head used to go down, as he understood. He said, Yeah, he did something. Dad used to look at it, and say, Okay, fine, he added.

Pankaj Tripathi says he has almost mastered the art of controlling his external self
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 12 (IANS) Actor Pankaj Tripathi, who is gearing up for the release of his upcoming streaming film Parivarik ManuRanjan, has said that he is on the path to manage his external self, which pertains to his external behaviour. The actor spoke with IANS along with his co-actor Aditi Rao Hydari in the Goregaon east area of Mumbai, and compared himself to a saint, who is practicing spirituality. He told IANS, I am a sanyasi who is holding on to the external. I need to practice the internal as well. Only then will I master the art of spirituality. I don't express my anger, that is one thing but I don't get angry, that is another thing. Its not like I don't express my anger. I do express it. But that is the control that I have. He further mentioned, If the anger comes to me, I wait for a few seconds, and tell myself, My anger will disappear in a few seconds. That is all I understand. It doesn't flow. But the anger does come. It cannot be stopped. Greed, greed, lust, all emotions are inside all of us. There is everything inside us. We have to keep working on it. Earlier, the actor had shared that actors are fragile by nature because they live so many lives concurrently. He said that currently he is practicing spirituality to understand himself better. During the conversation, the actor said that spirituality has enabled to not react instantly to the highs and lows of life. However, being an actor, feeling every emotion to the core is his primary job as an actor, which is exactly the opposite to what he has learned in spirituality. When asked how he manages this contradiction, he said, In art, it's okay, and is required as a part of the profession. In art, the character is written, and he is supposed to be reactionary. It needs awareness, to know this, to be a witness, I realise that an emotion has come to me, will I react to this emotion or will I respond? Where did this originate from? How does the character think? This is a strange thing that many people don't understand. Why are actors so fragile? Because along with his life, he lives a few more lives, every year, he added.

'To A Lifetime Together': Arshdeep Singh Announces Engagement To Samreen Kaur
Arshdeep Singh: India fast bowler Arshdeep Singh announced his engagement to actor-model Samreen Kaur on Wednesday, sharing the happy news on social media with pictures from the proposal, just hours after completing his move from Punjab Kings to Mumbai Indians ahead of IPL 2027. Samreen also shared pictures from the special moment on Instagram, showing Arshdeep slipping an engagement ring onto her finger. She accompanied the photographs with an emotional message celebrating their relationship. And of all the things life could have given us, I am the happiest it gave us each other. To a lifetime together, Samreen wrote. The engagement announcement comes nearly four months after Arshdeep made his relationship with Samreen public. It also came a few hours after Arshdeep's blockbuster move to the Mumbai Indians was announced as part of a swap deal with the Punjab Kings for Hardik Pandya. Dating rumours had gathered momentum earlier this year after Samreen was spotted supporting Arshdeep during Punjab Kings' matches in IPL 2026. Speculation surrounding the couple intensified when a video and photographs of them walking hand-in-hand in Dharamshala went viral. The couple subsequently made their relationship official on social media, with Samreen also frequently accompanying Arshdeep on his travels. She has been spotted alongside him during the IPL and India's overseas tours. Arshdeep and Samreen are currently in New Zealand, where the left-arm pacer is part of India's squad for the five-match ODI series against the Black Caps. The engagement also caps a significant day for Arshdeep off the field, with the pacer completing a high-profile move to Mumbai Indians from Punjab Kings in a trade reportedly worth Rs 18 crore ahead of IPL 2027. Arshdeep moves to MI after eight seasons with PBKS, the franchise where he made his IPL debut in 2019 and established himself as one of the competitions leading left-arm fast bowlers. With 111 wickets in 96 IPL matches, he is PBKS all-time leading wicket-taker. Arshdeeps ability to make early breakthroughs with the new ball and deliver under pressure in the death overs has made him a key component of Punjabs bowling attack. He claimed 21 wickets in IPL 2025 and followed that with 14 wickets in the 2026 season. His left-arm pace and ability to deliver across different phases of an innings will add considerable depth to MIs bowling attack. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS
