Kin of AI-171 crash ground victims hire US law firm
Families of 10 people killed on the ground in the Air India Flight AI-171 crash have hired Beasley Allen, the prominent US aviation law firm that secured billions from Boeing over the 737 MAX disasters, as the firm expands its representation of those affected by the tragedy in Ahmedabad on June 12. Kin of AI-171 crash ground victims hire US law firm The firm, led by aviation attorney D Michael Andrews, is exploring product liability claims against Boeing in US federal courts and Montreal Convention claims against Air India in UK courts, though no lawsuits have been filed yet. Andrews travelled to India in August to meet families across Gujarat and Mumbai, signing his 10th ground victim family on August 11. Among those killed was Maheshbhai Kalavadia, a Gujarati film producer from Naroda who had attended a meeting at Law Garden before calling his wife at 1:15 pm to say he was heading home. His remains were found 700 metres from the crash site and identified through DNA matching. 'These were innocent people who had nothing to do with the flight - they weren't even passengers,' said a relative who met Andrews. 'They were just going about their normal day when this tragedy struck.' The Boeing 737 MAX cases that established Beasley Allen's reputation involved crashes that killed 346 people between 2018 and 2019. Boeing ultimately paid $2.5 billion under a 2021 deferred prosecution agreement and settled more than 90% of claims, acknowledging liability for crashes caused by the faulty Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) it built into the jets. Andrews has taken on the case of victims killed in the medical college hostel where the plane crashed, including two people in the food preparation area and medical students in the mess hall, and also represents the family of a husband and wife killed while on a scooter for document verification. The firm is pursuing a water leak theory, focusing on the Boeing 787-8's electrical and equipment bay beneath the cockpit that houses flight computers including FADEC and TCMA systems capable of autonomous aircraft control. 'Above that and in those same areas, there are water lines and couplings that are known to have leaked on prior 787-8 aircraft,' Andrews explained, referencing Boeing service bulletins about coupling leaks that can allow water into computer equipment. The firm is filing Right to Information requests in India and Freedom of Information Act requests in the US to obtain complete flight data recorder information for independent expert analysis, Andrews told HT. Andrews met the sole survivor Ramesh and other families during his India visit, saying conversations were brief and private. He plans to file cases separately for each victim but has no fixed timetable pending data collection.

Tricolour Rises In Maoist HQ Foothills: Kawande's First Tryst With Independence Day
1 2 Nagpur: For the first time after 78 years of independence, the national anthem 'Jana Gana Mana' will reverberate through this once-impenetrable Maoist stronghold of Kawande on the foothills of Abujmarh hills — the tottering guerrilla headquarters. The towering black flags and red-stamped pamphlets have vanished, and Maoist boycott calls are a distant echo as the remote tribal hamlet on Maharashtra-Chhattisgarh border gears up to unfurl the tricolour for the first time. With the area flooded and not congenial for combat boots, police drones will hover in the sky to keep vigil on movements of the last standing guerrillas holed up in the forested, booby-trapped Abujmarh hills. Till a few years ago, Maoists would step out from their hideouts in Gadchiroli to observe August 15 as 'Kala Diwas' or Black Day, hoist black flags in villages and set ablaze tricolours. Here guns boomed, guerrilla kangaroo courts flourished and govt's footprint was non-existent. This year, Kawande in a true sense, will observe its first Independence Day. And this was possible after C-60 commandos and Central paramilitary troopers decimated Maoists on the foothills of Abujmarh and dismantled their 'janatana sarkar'. The Kawande police post, nestled in dense jungles of Bhamragarh taluka in Gadchiroli, will organise a historic flag hoisting on its newly opened premises in March this year. Setting up the post proved a game changer with Devendra Fadnavis becoming the first Maharashtra chief minister to step into the remotest tip of the Red Corridor. Constructed in an unbelievable 48 hours, the police post at Kawande, equipped with Wi-Fi, a water purification plant, and bulletproof fortifications, stands as a stamp of state authority in this remote corner. This was the seventh post opened in two years, signalling a steady erosion of Maoist influence in Gadchiroli. The hoisting of the tricolour will mark a symbolic triumph over decades of Maoist dominance here, replacing their black flags, said SP Gadchiroli Neelotpal. "Relentless operations by C-60 commandos and Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel were instrumental in this transformation," he said. The encounter in May, when 200 C-60 commandos dismantled a Maoist camp in Abujmarh, significantly weakened the rebels' Bhamragarh dalam, which operated in Kawande and surrounding areas. The operation yielded weapons, detonators, and Maoist literature, underscoring the rebels' intent to disrupt the region. Bloodstains at the site suggested casualties, though the Maoists fled, exploiting the rugged terrain. With security fortified, the region is poised for better roads, education, and health facilities, long denied by the rebels. As the tricolour rises, Kawande stands testimony to the resilience of local tribals and the courage of commandos, most of whom are sourced from Gadchiroli's tribal hamlets.

Independence Day: 5 Shaurya Chakras for war on terror & Naxals
NEW DELHI: Three CRPF personnel who displayed exemplary courage and resilience during encounters with terrorists in J&K shall receive Shaurya Chakra. Two other police personnel named for Shaurya Chakra this Independence Day eve are anti-Naxal encounter specialists of Chhattisgarh Police - inspectors Laxman Kewat and Rameshwar Prasad Deshmukh. On Thursday, home ministry also announced 1,090 police medals, including 233 for gallantry, for personnel of police, fire, home guard, civil defence, and correctional services. As many as 99 police personnel were picked for the President's Medal for Distinguished Service (PSM) and 758 for Medal for Meritorious Service (MSM). While two CRPF Shaurya Chakra awardees - constables Sanjay Tiwari and Feda Hussain - had engaged in a fierce terrorist encounter in Srinagar on Nov 2, 2024, and neutralised hardcore terrorists despite being injured, constable Saddam Hussain had killed a foreign terrorist three days later in a critical engagement with terrorists in Bandipora. Among 1,090 medals announced on Thursday, J&K police lead the table with 143 medals, followed by UP police with 95, CRPF with 82, BSF with 67, Maharashtra police with 49, Intelligence Bureau with 31, Gujarat police with 23, Andhra police with 22, and CBI with 21 medals. As many as 18 medals were announced for Delhi Police, including three PSM and 15 MSM. Among the 233 personnel honoured for bravery, 127 (or over 54%), are from J&K police, 20 from CRPF, 17 from UP police, 16 from BSF, 14 from Chhattisgarh police, nine from Odisha police, seven each from Maharashtra police and Bihar police, five from Jharkhand police, three from Assam police, and one from Telangana police. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Could Be the Best Time to Trade Gold in 5 Years IC Markets Learn More Undo Also, six fire personnel from Delhi, J&K and Maharashtra and a home guard/civil defence personnel from UP have been picked for gallantry medals. While 152 gallantry medals honour actions in Jammu and Kashmir , 54 were announced for brave acts in Left-wing extremism-hit areas, three in the North-East and 24 in other regions. Five gallantry awards will be conferred posthumously. Twelve of the 14 gallantry medal awardees from Chhattisgarh police are personnel of District Reserve Guard (DRG), which comprises mostly surrendered and former Maoists. DRG has been instrumental in blowing the cover of senior Maoist figures and has been in the lead during anti-Maoist operations in Chhattisgarh. In fact, it were DRG personnel who neutralised top Maoist Basavaraju in May this year. The awards this year, though, are operations undertaken in 2020, 2021 and 2023. Senior Chhattisgarh police officer Sunil Sharma (IPS), who as Sukma superintendent of police had led an operation that resulted in neutralisation of two Maoists, is also on the 2025 gallantry medal list.
