A Mumbai woman has alleged that Rahil Javed Shaikh, son of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) leader Javed Shaikh, hit her car in a drunk state and then hurled expletives at her. The woman, identified as Marathi social media influencer Rajshree More, lodged a police complaint and shared a video of the incident on social media. Rajshree More, who is actress Rakhi Sawant’s friend, shared a video on social media showing that Rahil Javed Shaikh hit her car, then got out of his vehicle after the collision and had a heated argument with her. In the video, the politician’s son appears to be under the influence of alcohol and is seen without a shirt as he says, “My father is the state vice president of MNS.” The video also shows the accused getting into an altercation with the cops, and charging at Rajshree, daring her to lodge a police complaint. “Go and tell the cops I am Javed Shaikh’s son, then you’ll see what happens,” he is heard saying in Marathi.&nbsp;Rajshree also shared an image of the FIR that was lodged against the accused later. She also claimed that MNS workers and supporters were targeting her because of her recent comments on the local Marathi population and the Marathi language imposition row.&nbsp;Mumbai Police said that the incident occurred at Vira Desai Road in Andheri West. An FIR was registered at the Amboli Police Station, and the youth has been detained for medical examination.

When the woman resisted, he abused her and flaunted his father’s position,” Nirupam said in a post on Monday.Nirupam also accused MNS workers of only targeting Hindus and dared them to attack Urdu-speaking people in the name of Marathi.He claimed that the MNS is running a campaign against Hindus at the behest of its Muslim leaders like Javed Shaikh.&nbsp;<h2>‘Thackerays dividing Hindus like Lalu Yadav to create votebank’</h2>&nbsp;Another BJP leader alleged that MNS is trying to divide Hindus on language to create a “Maratha-Muslim” votebank like Lalu Yadav’s “Muslim-Yadav” combination in Bihar. “This is respect for Marathi Manoos ?

A Mumbai-bound Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 787 Dreamliner from Addis Ababa was forced to make an emergency landing early Friday (Jun 27) after seven people onboard fell ill due to cabin depressurisation. The aircraft made an emergency landing in Mumbai at 1:42 am, according to a Times of India report. This comes amid increased scrutiny over safety concerns in Boeing aircraft after the Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad that killed 241 people.&nbsp;According to the TOI report citing sources, the Ethiopian Airlines flight ET640 experienced a depressurisation problem mid-air while it was flying over the Arabian Sea at an altitude of 33,000 feet. Following the issue, the pilots executed a rapid descent to a lower altitude, according to the data from Flightradar24.&nbsp;“On landing, seven passengers were attended to by the airport medical team for decompression-related symptoms, out of which one required hospitalisation,” a source told the media outlet.&nbsp;For human survival, it is essential that the aircraft cabins are sealed and pressurised with conditioned air and oxygen. This allows planes to fly at higher altitudes where oxygen levels are low. However, on rare occasions, the pressurisation system can face issues. This would result in the pressure and oxygen level in the cabin to drop, following which oxygen masks will be deployed from the overhead panel.&nbsp;In a similar incident on June 24, seven people onboard an Air India flight fell ill. The passengers on the flight AI 130, which was travelling from London to Mumbai, experienced food poisoning symptoms, including nausea and dizziness.&nbsp;The airlines confirmed the incident, saying that five passengers and two crew members had fallen ill. Two of the people, who continued feeling ill until the landing, received medical attention after the plane landed. The incident is under investigation. An airline official suggested that it could be due to a gradual decrease in cabin pressure or slow decompression.

New Delhi: India has issued a new trade directive sharply limiting the entry of Bangladeshi ready-made garments (RMG), a critical export for Bangladesh, to only two Indian seaports: Kolkata and Nhava Sheva in Mumbai. The move closes all land ports previously used for these imports, which are worth over $700 million annually, signalling a significant shift in trade policy.
The shift comes, most likely in response to Bangladeshi actions, as the Yunus government had imposed port restrictions on the export of Indian yarn via land ports, allowing Indian yarn exports only via seaports (from 13th April). Indian exports have been subjected to rigorous inspections on entry, and Indian rice exports are not allowed through Hili and Benapole Integrated Check Posts (ICPs) since 15th April.&nbsp;
The Indian decision will bolster the country&rsquo;s domestic garment industry but could stifle Bangladesh&rsquo;s RMG sector, a cornerstone of its economy that accounts for a major part of its total exports. Bangladeshi exporters will now face increased costs and logistical challenges, routing shipments through Chittagong port to India&rsquo;s designated seaports.
India-Bangladesh ties have nosedived since the interim Yunus government took charge last year. The Yunus government has largely taken an anti-India stance, reaching out to Islamabad and Beijing. The regime in Dhaka that came after the collapse of the stable Sheikh Hasina government has also been making a number of anti-India remarks as well.

Further tightening trade, in response to Bangladeshi restrictions, India has imposed restrictions on Bangladeshi exports like plastics, furniture, bakery goods, and juices at land customs stations (LCS) and ICPs in its northeastern states&mdash;Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, and Mizoram. Restrictions also apply to LCS Changrabanda and Fulbari to prevent rerouting by Bangladesh.
An Indian official, speaking anonymously, emphasised reciprocity and said that &ldquo;Indian market access can&rsquo;t be taken for granted. Bangladesh cannot dictate terms to solely benefit itself.&rdquo; The official noted that while Bangladesh enjoyed unrestricted access to India&rsquo;s Northeast, it imposed high transit fees&mdash;1.8 taka per tonne per kilometre&mdash;on Indian goods and restricted non-essential northeastern exports.

These actions will help local Indian manufacturers in northeastern states in developing their own capabilities, but this also means Bangladeshi goods can enter India&rsquo;s northeastern states only via the Siliguri Corridor, or the Chicken&rsquo;s Neck.
Before these announcements, India had allowed Bangladesh goods to come to India via all land customs stations and integrated check posts and through seaports without any undue restrictions. The official pointed out, &ldquo;India is willing to engage in discussions, but it is Bangladesh&rsquo;s responsibility to create an environment free of rancour.&rdquo;
This also put an end to Bangladesh&rsquo;s free access to the entire northeast states, and they saw them as captive markets. The free access also impacted the industrial growth in Northeast states, with businesses impacted by high transit charges by Bangladesh.

He highlighted that he visited India five times and his visa was facilitated by his childhood friend Rana. This was done under the guise of an immigration consultancy.
Headley visited India to carry out his recce to help execute the attack in financial capital Mumbai, which was later carried out by Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorists.

The aircraft&rsquo;s transponder transmitted a 'squawk 7500' code to Delhi ATC right after takeoff, a Delhi airport official who asked for anonymity told Indian news media outlet Hindustan Times.&nbsp;
<h2>What is squawk code?</h2>
Squawk codes are four-digit numbers used by the ATC to identify aircraft in flight, ranging from 000 to 7777.&nbsp;
Squawk code 7500 indicates "unlawful interference," which is typically recognised as a hijacking, according to Flightradar.com.&nbsp;

On receiving the alert, Delhi ATC initiated a protocol to inform the destination airport, security agencies, and the Indian Air Force. A special committee was formed, and the Indian Air Force was put on high alert.&nbsp;
But the pilot quickly informed the ATC that it was a false alarm and the aircraft was operating normally.&nbsp;
However, authorities were cautious as they did not want to take any chances, as the main concern was that the pilot might have been under threat and might have been forced to report it as a false alarm.&nbsp;
