PTI
New Delhi, Jul 31 (PTI) An Air India Express passenger, who was to get down at Delhi airport, inadvertently continued his journey in the same aircraft to Bhubaneswar on Wednesday, and the airline said it is investigating the matter to address any lapses.
A source in the know on Thursday said the male passenger took the flight from Srinagar to Delhi and instead of getting down in the national capital, the person was onboard the flight to Bhubaneswar. Both services were operated by the same aircraft. The matter came to light after the person informed the crew, the source added.
Specific details about the passenger and the aircraft could not be immediately ascertained.
In a statement on Thursday, the airline said that on July 30, a passenger transiting through Delhi on another flight inadvertently continued on the aircraft onward to Bhubaneswar.
Generally, airline staff check the boarding passes and baggage of passengers in connecting flights at the particular transit airports as part of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). PTI RAM SHW

'Previous Govt Set Hindu Terrorism Narrative': Fadnavis Says Malegaon Verdict 'Exposed Conspiracy'
Last Updated: Devendra Fadnavis accused the UPA government of fabricating the 'saffron terror' narrative for vote-bank politics after the Malegaon blast acquittals. A day after all seven accused in the Malegaon blast case were acquitted, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis accused the Congress-led UPA government of trying to set the 'saffron terrorism' narrative and alleged that officers from that time tried to frame Hindu religious leaders and organisations. 'The conspiracy of 2008 has been exposed before everyone. The government at that time, for the sake of vote-bank politics, coined terms like 'Hindu terror' and 'saffron terrorism'," Fadanavis said. 'At that time, large-scale terrorist incidents were happening across the world, and 'Islamic terrorism' was a topic of discussion worldwide. To avoid angering their vote bank and to make it seem like they were maintaining balance, they created the notion of 'Hindu terrorism' and arrested people," he said. 'But, despite much effort, no solid evidence was found. Layer by layer, this conspiracy is coming to light," the Maharashtra Chief Minister said. On Thursday too, Fadnavis had claimed that police acted under the UPA government's pressure while probing the 2008 Malegaon blast, and Congress should apologise to the Hindus for the 'fake narrative of saffron terror." Fadnavis claimed that the probe was a conspiracy to defame the Hindus. The future course of action will be decided after studying the judgment, he had said, speaking to reporters in Mumbai. 'Congress should apologise to the acquitted accused and Hindu society," he demanded. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

At least ten premises of Ozone Urbana Developers Pvt. Ltd. and its key management personnel were raided in Bangalore and Mumbai under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), the sources said. The main promoter of the group is Satyamoorthi Vasudevan. The company and its promoters were booked by the ED after taking cognisance of multiple police FIRs registered against them related to a residential project named Ozone Urbana in Devanahalli Taluk of Bengaluru. The integrated township project was to be handed over to buyers in 2018. However, till 2024, only 49 per cent of the project was completed, the sources said. The company 'failed" to hand over the project and has neither returned the money to the buyers, they claimed. It is alleged that the accused company and its key management personnel 'cheated" gullible home buyers by promising to pay their bank EMIs (taken for purchase of homes) until completion of the project. The company also promised many buyers 'huge" discounts, if they pay full amount in advance against the bookings and it also allegedly lured them with a 'buyback scheme". It is alleged that the directors of the said company cheated its buyers collectively to the tune of hundreds of crores and misappropriated the funds, the ED sources said.
