5 juveniles try to kill minor for refusing to clean bathroom at observation home in Yerawada: Police
Five juveniles in conflict with the law allegedly attacked and attempted to kill a 17-year-old boy on the premises of the government-run Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Udyog Kendra, an observation home located at Yerawada.
According to the police, the accused attacked the 17-year-old because he refused to clean a bathroom on the premises. The incident took place at barrack No. 2 of the observation home around 9.15 pm on Tuesday.
The observation home authorities reported the incident to the Pune city police. Subsequently, an FIR was lodged at the Yerawada police station against the five minors under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) sections 109 (attempt to murder), 115(2) (voluntarily causing hurt), 352 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of peace), 351(2) (criminal intimidation), 3(5) (criminal act done by several persons in furtherance of common intention of all).
Assistant police inspector Vishal Takle, the investigation officer of the case, said the five accused are lodged in the observation home after they were booked in separate criminal offences lodged at different police stations in Pune in the past.
Police sources said after the victim refused to clean the bathroom, the accused boys allegedly tore a piece of towel and tried to strangle him, the FIR stated.
After receiving information, observation home staff and authorities rushed to the spot and rescued the victim. 'The victim was taken to hospital for treatment. He was discharged on Wednesday. We have sought the documents and other details pertaining to this case from the observation home. Further probe is on,' said Takle.
The observation home was established by the British in 1889 as 'Reformatory School Yeravada, Poona'. It was redesignated as 'Yeravada Industrial School Poona' from 1936 to 1989. In February 1990, it was further redesignated as Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Udyog Kendra and turned into a care home for destitute children and in 2009 it became an observation home for juveniles in conflict with law.
Police said clashes between minors lodged at the observation home have been reported even in the past. In August 2022, stone pelting was reported on the premises, following a quarrel that started when some juveniles were playing football. Also, multiple incidents of minors escaping from the home have been reported in the past.

Hyderabad teacher duped of ₹2.02 lakh by Facebook friend
A 41-year-old schoolteacher from Hyderabad fell victim to online manipulation after she was lured by a fraudster posing as a wealthy foreigner on Facebook. The scam, which began with a friendly message, ended with her losing ₹2.02 lakh in the name of bogus parcel clearances and certificates. The scam started on December 23, 2024, when the teacher received a Facebook Messenger call from a user identifying himself as Tony William, supposedly a wealthy British man with properties in London and a soft spot for Indians. The man claimed he had no heirs and wanted to 'gift' part of his fortune, including a diamond ring and a gold chain, to the victim as a token of affection for her and her family. The scammer also shared photographs of the supposed jewellery before informing her that the parcel had landed at Delhi Airport. He asked her to pay for an 'IMF certificate' to get it released. What followed was a series of manipulative demands under different pretexts. By the time the teacher realised she had been duped, she had already transferred over ₹2 lakh. She later filed a complaint online. The police have urged citizens to preserve all chats, payment screenshots and contact details, and to immediately report such cases on or by dialling 1930. In case of emergencies, victims can also reach out on WhatsApp or call 8712665171.

Black box of Air India plane recovered from building it crashed into in Ahmedabad
Black box of the Air India aircraft that crashed in Gujarat's Ahmedabad on Thursday was recovered from the hostel building the plane plummeted into, Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) confirmed on Friday. The Digital Flight Data Recorder (DFDR), commonly referred to as the blackbox, was found on the rooftop of the building. Follow Ahmedabad plane crash live updates The Ministry of Civil Aviation clarified that, contrary to circulating reports, a video recorder that had been recovered at the crash site was not the DFDR. Civil aviation minister Ram Mohan Naidu Kinjarapu said on X that the Flight Data Recorder (black box) was recovered within 28 hours from the accident site in Ahmedabad by AAIB. 'This marks an important step forward in the investigation. This will significantly aid the enquiry into the incident,' he added. The AAIB has launched a full-scale investigation into the crash, with over 40 staff from the Gujarat State Government joining efforts to support the Ministry of Civil Aviation teams on the ground. A black box is a small machine that records information about an aircraft during its flight. This bright orange or yellow rectangular box is crafted to withstand explosions, fire, water pressure, and high-speed crashes. Black box contains flight and cockpit recordings, and flight data, which help in zeroing in on the real cause of the plane crash. Soon after an accident, authorities first try to locate the equipment to discover what led to the crash. The black box is now under analysis to determine the cause of the tragedy that killed 241 of the 242 people on board, including former Gujarat chief minister Vijay Rupani. Authorities expect the data stored on the DFDR to offer vital clues into the final moments of Flight AL-171, a Boeing 787-8 bound for London's Gatwick Airport that went down minutes after takeoff from Ahmedabad International Airport. The aircraft departed from Runway 23 at 1:39 pm and issued a 'Mayday' call to Air Traffic Control (ATC) shortly afterward. Communications were abruptly lost, and within moments, the plane crashed outside the airport perimeter, sending thick plumes of black smoke billowing into the sky. Air India said the plane was carrying 242 people, including 169 Indian nationals, 53 British nationals, seven Portuguese nationals, and one Canadian national. Only one person survived the crash — a British national of Indian origin identified Vishwashkumar Ramesh, who was seated on 11A, a left-side window seat near an emergency exit in the economy section. The aircraft was being flown by Captain Sumeet Sabharwal, a Line Training Captain with 8,200 flying hours, and First Officer Clive Kundar, who had logged 1,100 hours. The Air Accidents Investigation Bureau (AAIB), with support from MoCA and local authorities, has launched a full-scale probe into the disaster.
