Satara police detain 2 for creating morphed video of doctors from Karad
Kolhapur: Satara police detained two people for allegedly creating an indecent AI-manipulated video featuring two women doctors from Karad town with male companions.
A prominent woman doctor filed a police complaint on May 20, stating she had been added to a social media group where the manipulated video was distributed.
Police investigation revealed that the video originated from outside Maharashtra.
Further inquiries showed that a naturopathy practitioner from Karad had provided the doctors' contact details and source material used for the manipulated video.
"We have found one such video. We have detained two and are carrying out the investigation," said inspector R A Tashildar, of the Karad city police station.
Initial investigations suggest that the naturopathy practitioner's facility was shut following a complaint by one of the women doctors, which could be a possible motive. "We are exploring multiple angles," said Tashildar.

Air India plane crash: Among dead, two sisters going on vacation to London, mom returning after dropping daughter
A 35-year-old woman returning to the UK after dropping off her daughter at the grandparents' house in Vadodara, two sisters heading on vacation to London, and another woman returning after coming to India for medical treatment — they were among the passengers of the Air India flight to London that crashed just minutes after taking off from Ahmedabad airport. The list of passengers on flight AI-171 showed that at least 33 of them were from Gujarat's Anand district, 19 from Vadodara, and 17 from Kheda. In Anand district, a distraught family recalled that Bhavna Rana and her sister Anandi Rana had been looking forward to their two-month vacation in London, where Bhavna's two children live. An employee of a hospital in Karamsad, Bhavna had been saving her leaves to make the visit — her first to the UK. Amit Rana, Bhavna and Anandi's nephew, said, 'My paternal aunt, Bhavna, had taken leave for two months to visit London. Both my paternal aunts were on the flight. Our family members are in Ahmedabad to look for them… We are unable to come to terms with this and are hoping for a miracle.' Relatives of Rupal Patel (44), from Uttarsanda in Anand, said she was on her way back after having come to India for treatment and that she has two young children in the UK. 'Her brother, Pawan Patel, had gone to drop her off at the airport and had just got back to Anand when he learnt about the crash and turned around to return to Ahmedabad to find her. Unfortunately, she has not been traced and we are devastated at the thought of having lost her… She has two young children. Her husband is on his way to India. Her parents have been living here over 35 years. This is a painful loss for us all,' said a close family friend. Nancy Patel (35) was returning to London after dropping off her young daughter with her husband's family in Vadodara. Their neighbours said, 'It is heartbreaking news. Her parents departed for Ahmedabad immediately to submit their DNA samples and try to look for her… She had only come to drop off her daughter in India and was to come back shortly to take her back. Our heart goes out to the family, especially the little daughter.' Kheda Collector Amit Prakash Yadav confirmed that 17 residents of various talukas of the district are feared killed in the crash. These include Mehmadabad resident Rudra Patel (20); Thasra residents Jiya Parvez Vohra (6), Parvez Vahora (32); Nadiad residents Mahadev Pawar (75) and wife Ashaben (65), as well as Hina Patel; Kathalal residents Prashant Patel (49) and Piyush Patel (29); Rupal Patel (44) from Uttarsanda; Pravin Patel and Ranjanben Patel from Mahuda; Rajnikant Darji and wife Pushpa, as well as Vasuben Raj, from Vaso; Ajay Patel from Vadtal; and Purnima Patel from Dakor. Of these, relatives of Piyush Patel are based in Canada and have been contacted by the administration to come to India and give their DNA samples. Yadav said, 'Our team is at the civil hospital in Ahmedabad. We are in close contact with all family members of affected persons. These are the details of passengers on board the Air India flight… Relatives of all of the above passengers have given their DNA samples at Ahmedabad civil hospital… We are not making any statements about death until confirmed by the competent authority.' Bhavik Maheshwari (26), a resident of Vadodara who was based in London for the last couple of years, had come home around 10 days ago for his wedding, and was returning on the ill-fated flight. Bhavik left behind Isha Maheshwari from Ahmedabad's Bavla. They had got married on June 10. An inconsolable Isha Maheshwari barely shifted her gaze from her hands, adorned with dark red mehndi. As her family urged her to stay strong, her eyes remained transfixed, and she showed no reaction to the wails of other grieving relatives around her.

Divided by conflict, 2 Manipur families now bound by grief—a Kuki & a Meitei were among AI 171 crew
Hatred earlier separated the families, but what bound them together on the day of the deadly crash was their shared grief over the possible loss of a loved one, and the hope that the women were still alive. Both families continue to wait for official confirmation from the authorities about the fate of the two crew members. New Delhi: Among the 10 cabin crew members on board Air India Flight 171 flying from Ahmedabad to London Thursday were two young women from conflict-ridden Manipur—a Kuki and a Meitei. Far from the ongoing conflict that divided their home state, both were working together as flight crew. The Kuki woman, Lamnunthen Singson, originally from Imphal, was displaced in the conflict and forced to move with her family to Kangpokpi in the hills. The Meitei woman, Nganthoi Sharma Kongbrailatpam, is from Thoubal town, Manipur. Speaking to ThePrint, Nnemg, the sister of Singson, said the family had been watching the horrific visuals of the crash but still did not want to believe that Singson was no more. 'I spoke to her this morning before she was to board the flight. She said she was going to London. I can't believe this. I can not say anything more. We are still waiting for official information from Ahmedabad,' Nnemg told ThePrint. 'She joined Air India three years ago.' Speaking to ThePrint over a call, Gitanjali, the elder sister of Air India crew member Nganthoi, said the family was still 'in the dark', more so because there is no internet in the valley after the violence Saturday over the arrest of Kanan Singh, a senior member of the Meitei body Arambai Tenggol, and the detention of four of his associates. 'We are in the dark. There is no Internet here, so we don't know much. We are only getting calls from our cousin, a brother who lives in Delhi. He said we have to give blood samples for the identification [of Nganthoi]. We might leave tomorrow,' Gitanjali said. 'We know for sure she was on the flight, but no confirmation from Air India yet on her condition. My parents remain very worried. The situation is grim,' she added. Nganthoi, 21, joined Air India as a crew member in 2023. It was her first job after completing Class 12 and training. She has two siblings and parents. A total of 242 people, including two pilots and 10 crew members, were on board the Air India flight that crashed in Ahmedabad on Thursday noon. The flight was bound for Gatwick Airport in London. According to a Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) statement, 'On 12 Jun, M/s Air India B787 Aircraft VT-ANB, while operating flight AI-171 (from Ahmedabad to Gatwick), crashed immediately after takeoff from Ahmedabad. There were 242 people on board the aircraft, consisting of 2 pilots and 10 cabin crew. The aircraft was under the command of Capt. Sumeet Sabharwal with First Officer Clive Kundar. Capt. Sumeet Sabharwal is an LTC with 8200 hours of experience. The co-pilot had 1100 hours of flying experience.' The aircraft had taken off at 1.38 pm from runway 23. Right after takeoff, it placed a mayday call to Air Traffic Control (ATC), but thereafter, the aircraft gave no response, the DGCA said. Most people on board the aircraft are feared dead.
