Kerala Court Sentences Man To 3 Life Terms For Raping Minor Daughter For 3 Years
Idukki (Kerala): A Kerala court on Thursday sentenced a man to three life terms, till his death, for repeatedly sexually assaulting his minor daughter for three years, from the time she was five-years-old till she turned eight, at their rented accommodation near Karimanoor here. Idukki Fast Track Special Court judge Manju V sentenced the man to life in jail till his death for various offences under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO), Special Public Prosecutor (SPP) Shijomon Joseph said. The court also imposed a fine of Rs three lakh on the father and directed that the amount, if recovered from him, should be given to his daughter. If the fine is not paid, the convict will have to undergo an additional six years imprisonment, the court said. It also directed the District Legal Services Authority to provide adequate compensation to the child. The abuse suffered by the child came to light in 2020 when she was eight-years-old, the SPP said. The child, who was suffering from constant stomach pain and was undergoing treatment for that, one day asked her mother whether the illness was caused because of her father's actions. After the mother asked her in detail about what had happened and during the subsequent counselling, information regarding the repeated sexual abuse was revealed, the SPP said. According to the girl's statement, the father had been repeatedly sexually abusing her at their house from the time she was in class 1, the prosecutor said. The abuse occurred at both the rented accommodations where the family lived, he said. A case was, thereafter, registered against the father at Karimanoor police station. The SPP said that the prosecution sought the maximum punishment for the accused and the court accepted the request.

How AI 171 crash probe report raises more questions than answers
How AI 171 crash probe report raises more questions than answers Manju V TNN Jul 13, 2025, 17:31 IST IST AAIB's preliminary report says fuel supply to both engines was cut off, either by a faulty fuel supply switch, or manually by one of the two pilots. But pilots and aviation experts have called the findings inconclusive and demanded a deeper probe The investigation into the Air India flight AI 171 crash in Ahmedabad has revealed an unsettling detail. Three seconds after takeoff on June 12, fuel supply to both engines of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner was cut off, either by a faulty fuel supply switch, or manually by one of the two pilots . The report is ambiguous on what starved the engines. But it referred to a 2018 safety bulletin that instructed airlines to look out for a possible mechanical fault that could cut off fuel to the engines. 'In the cockpit voice recording, one of the pilots is heard asking the other why did he cut off (the fuel supply)? The other pilot responded that he did not do so.' This is the most crucial information in the 15-page preliminary report released on July 12 by the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB).

City airport cancels plans to bar cargo carriers, cut passenger airlines' slots
Mumbai: In a win for certain carriers, Mumbai airport has withdrawn its plan to cancel take-off & landing slots granted to cargo flights post-Aug 16 and reduce slots of passenger airlines for the winter schedule (Oct-end to March-end 2026). The decision was taken following discussions between carriers and the airport operator, reports Manju V. Slots are granted twice a year, for summer and winter, a few months in advance. The more slots an airline has at an airport, the more flights it can operate into and out of it. On April 21, the airport operator had unveiled the plan citing construction of a new taxiway and reconstruction of Terminal 1. The airlines' association protested the "seemingly permanent withdrawal of historic slots" saying it "will cause long-lasting damage to the airport's reputation and credibility". It was understood that the carriers would move their cancelled flights to the upcoming Navi Mumbai airport. The decision to reinstate slots to carriers was taken following discussions between airline representatives and the Mumbai airport's operator at the first 'Slot Coordination Committee' meeting held for the airport. A slot is a specified bracket of time granted to an airline to carry out a landing or take-off and use the airport infrastructure. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade gold CFDs with a trusted broker | Open an account today IC Markets Learn More Undo Time slots help manage airport capacity and check congestion. "Airline representatives advocated for the reinstatement and approval of all historical slots for the 2025 winter schedule, particularly for international airlines that previously received communication from Mumbai airport on April 21 indicating slot reductions. The Airports Authority of India supported the airline representative, and following discussions, the committee unanimously agreed that all historical slots for winter 2025 will be retained," said a source. Mumbai airport did not comment. The issue began on April 21. Mumbai airport's operator informed cargo carriers that all their slots post-Aug 16 were cancelled -- they could not operate to Mumbai airport, that is. At the same time, the airport informed certain Middle Eastern passenger airlines that slots granted to them for the period between the end of Oct and the end of March (winter schedule 2025) were reduced. For instance, if an airline was granted two landing and two take-off slots per day, the airport informed them that they would get only one landing and one take-off slot in the upcoming winter schedule. Airlines, through their trade body, the International Air Transport Association (IATA), fought this decision and sought govt intervention to restore the cancelled legacy slots. IATA, in its protest letter, said the "seemingly permanent withdrawal of historic slots for passenger airlines… is not what one would expect of a major hub airport in India". The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) approved slots at Mumbai airport for freighters for summer 2025, that is, till the end of Oct. This will continue without interruption, the slot committee decided.
