06 February,2026 06:18 PM ISTOn June 12, 2025, Air India Flight AI-171, a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner flying from Ahmedabad to London, crashed just seconds after takeoff, killing 260 people in one of the deadliest aviation disasters in recent Indian history. For months, the tragedy was believed to be the result of a catastrophic technical failure. Now, nearly eight months later, the investigation has taken a dramatic and deeply disturbing turn. Fresh investigative reporting suggests the final crash report may conclude that the disaster was not caused by a mechanical malfunction, but by deliberate human action inside the cockpit. The report identifies Captain Sumeet Sabharwal as pilot-in-command, with First Officer Clive Kunder as co-pilot. Investigators reportedly believe the fuel cutoff may have been manually initiated, though accountability remains unresolved and the official DGCA final report is still pending. WATCH ... [Read More]
12 February,2026 07:19 PM ISTNewly released Department of Justice documents have reignited a storm over President Donald Trump’s cognitive fitness.

These revelations add a fresh layer to long-standing debates about Trump’s cognitive abilities. Multiple insiders, authors and even family members have reportedly voiced concerns over the years. Notably, Trump’s nephew, Fred C. Trump III, has drawn parallels between the President’s behaviour and a history of cognitive decline in the Trump family. WATCH... [Read More]
