Indian man facing difficulties at Newark airport, CGI in touch with authorities
'We have come across social media posts claiming that an Indian national is facing difficulties at Newark Liberty International Airport. We are in touch with local authorities in this regard,' the Indian Consulate said in a post on X.
It added that the Consulate "remains ever committed" to the welfare of Indian Nationals.
The video, posted online by an Indian-American social entrepreneur, Kunal Jain, shows the Indian man pinned to the ground by Port Authority Police and being handcuffed.
'This poor kid's parent won't know what's happening to him. @IndianEmbassyUS @DrSJaishankar, he was to be boarded last night on the same flight with me, but he never got boarded. Someone needs to find out what's going on with him with the New Jersey authorities. I found him disoriented,' Mr. Jain said in his post.

From The Hindu, August 7, 1975: Hitch delays flight of plane with Gunmen
Kuala Lumpur, August 6: Five terrorists who held 52 hostages in the U.S. Consulate for two days boarded a plane at Kuala Lumpur airport to-day and officials said they would leave for Libya at 8 a.m. local time (6 a.m. IST) to-morrow. The five still held 15 of their hostages aboard the plane, including the U.S. Consul, Mr. R. Stebbins and the Swedish Charge d' Affaires Mr. Bergenstrahle. Officials said they were to be released in exchange for two Malaysian and two Japanese Government officials who would accompany the terrorists to Libya as substitute hostages. The two Malaysians were named as Mr. Ramli Omar, Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Communications and Mr. Osman Cassim, Secretary-General of the Home Ministry. According to American officials here, the Libyan Government had agreed to accept the guerillas. Meanwhile, the five Japanese radicals who were released from Japanese prisons and flown to Kuala Lumpur as demanded by the terrorists, were waiting in an airport building to board the plane for the flight. After exhausting negotiations, the gunmen agreed this morning to leave the American International Assurance building which houses the U.S. and other embassies in downtown Kuala Lumpur and join their five comrades at the airport. Masked, wearing gloves and carrying automatic revolvers and hand grenades, they marched their 15 hostages along with them and made the 22 km drive to the airport in a large bus.

Ludhiana: NRI woman alleges theft of gold, ₹30K by domestic help
A non-resident Indian (NRI) woman residing temporarily at her Rajguru Nagar Extension home has lodged a police complaint against her domestic help, accusing her of stealing a purse containing gold jewellery, cash, and her passport—just days before her scheduled flight to Dubai on August 8. Acting on the complaint filed by Veena, the Sarabha Nagar police have registered an FIR against Sangeeta, under Section 305 (theft) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). (HT photo for representation) According to ASI Harbhol Singh, the investigating officer, the complainant Veena Kaushal, 69, lives in Dubai with her husband and children. Her Ludhiana residence is occasionally visited by the family, while two tenants currently occupy the property. In her complaint, Veena said that she arrived in Ludhiana a few days ago and was preparing to return to Dubai on August 8. On July 31, she reportedly retrieved her passport, some gold, ₹30,000 in cash, and a few US dollars from a bank locker and placed them in a purse, which she kept near her bed. The purse was later found missing. Veena alleged that her domestic help, Sangeeta, is responsible for the theft. However, Sangeeta has not absconded and remains present at the residence. Police have questioned her and conducted a search of her living quarters but have not recovered the missing items. Acting on the complaint filed by Veena, the Sarabha Nagar police have registered an FIR against Sangeeta, under Section 305 (theft) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). 'We have registered a case based on the complaint. While the domestic help is being interrogated, other angles are also being explored,' said ASI Harbhol Singh, adding that one of the two tenants had left the premises on July 26, while the other tenant, who stayed behind, is also under police scrutiny.
