‘Indian guy asked me…’: US-based tech expert says passenger was removed from plane due to seat swap drama

'Indian guy asked me...': US-based tech expert says passenger was removed from plane due to seat swap drama

A viral social media post has sparked controversy over in-flight etiquette after a US-based techie said a passenger asked her to change seats on an international flight.Saran Shanmugam, director of information technology at the Indian-American and Biophysical Society, was traveling to India on a Middle Eastern airline. He had already booked an aisle seat for comfort during the long flight. He said a co-passenger, an Indian man, requested Shanmugam to change his aisle seat so that the man’s brother, who was sitting in the middle seat in the second row, could sit together.Shanmugam refused the request. “I just said no. He approached a male manager and started making demands. The steward removed him from the plane while his entire family watched. After a few minutes, he was allowed inside. He never again heard me peep or look at him. “I assumed the airline staff had ensured a lifetime commitment to them,” Shanmugam wrote in a post on X.The passenger’s insistence reportedly resulted in a brief intervention by the airline crew. According to Shanmugam, the man was removed from the plane for a short time before being allowed back on. After returning, the passenger made no further attempts to negotiate with Shanmugam regarding the seat swap.The incident quickly went viral, with social media users debating passengers’ rights, seat etiquette and how to handle disputes on board. Many commentators supported Shanmugam for retaining his pre-booked seat, while others discussed whether accommodating fellow passengers during flights is a polite practice.

Social Media Reactions:

  • I also always book my seat in advance because I like the route. Once I switched with a mom who wanted to sit with her young children. I really think people need to learn to book their seats in advance to avoid any hassles.
  • I have faced this many times. My response has always been that I would trade my aisle seat for another aisle seat period.
  • Reasonable requests are fine (this wasn’t). I’ve been on both ends of it. I have given my seat several times and once IndiGo had mentioned requesting for it.
  • Old times when aunties asked to take back lower berths, when ordinary Indians could still travel in trains. Or asking if an irritable child could share the lower berth with me because the family had not purchased a ticket for the child.

Status of Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and Rajguru as martyrs not linked to 'official record': Government informs Lok Sabha

New Delhi: The government told the Lok Sabha on Tuesday that the revolutionary freedom fighter Bhagat SinghSukhdev and Rajguru – who were hanged by the then British regime on March 23, 1931 – have been martyred to achieve India’s independence and their martyrdom is a fact “not dependent on the inferred presence of the absence of official records”.“The martyrdom of these freedom fighters and their invaluable contribution to India’s freedom struggle is an integral part of the narrative of our fight for freedom and is well known in our history… Their stature is far above any award or title or status given in this regard,” junior home minister Bandi Sanjay Kumar said in a written response to a question on whether the three freedom fighters were given ‘martyr’ status.Saying that their names “will always be written in golden words in the annals of history,” Kumar said the names of all freedom fighters, including Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and Rajguru, are recorded in the ‘Dictionary of Martyrs of India’s Freedom Struggle from 1857 to 1947’ published by the Culture Ministry. “The position of the Government of India on this has remained unchanged since 1947,” he told the House.A day earlier, on the occasion of Martyrs’ Day, PM Narendra Modi had remembered the martyrdom of the three heroes and in a post on Twitter said their ideals of justice, patriotism and fearless resistance ignite the spirit of countless Indians. He posted, “Today we pay our respects to the brave sons of Bharat Mata, Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev. Their martyrdom for the nation is imprinted in our collective memory.”

103 teaching posts are lying vacant in OUTR. bhubaneswar news

103 teaching posts are vacant in OUTR

Bhubaneswar: In Odisha University of Technology and Research (OUTR), Bhubaneswar, 103 teaching posts are lying vacant against the sanctioned strength of 184, affecting research and teaching work. Similarly, out of 99 non-academic posts in the university, 58 posts are lying vacant.Last Friday, Skill Development and Technical Education Minister Sampad Chandra Swain had told the state Assembly that an advertisement had been issued in 2024 to fill 92 teaching posts, which were vacant at that time. “But due to legal constraints, these posts have not been filled. Therefore, temporary guest lecturers have been appointed to meet the teaching requirements,” Swain said in his reply in the state assembly on Friday.OUTR vice-chancellor Vibhuti Bhushan Biswal said they have completed the teachers’ recruitment process that started in 2024, but are waiting for the Supreme Court order to publish the results. “Some candidates had approached the court over issues in the recruitment process. After getting the court order, we will issue appointment letters to the successful candidates. Then the vacancy issue will be resolved,” he said.Similarly, for non-teaching posts, only 41 out of the total sanctioned 99 posts have been filled, and retired government employees have been appointed temporarily as per the requirement.The Minister said that necessary steps are being taken to fill the teaching and non-teaching posts as per the prevailing rules.A university teacher said that teaching and research work is being affected due to shortage of faculty members. “Regular faculty members are overburdened with teaching, research, collaboration and administrative work. Due to work pressure, they are unable to focus on innovation and the quality of teaching and research gets compromised. To guide research scholars, we need regular teachers, as guest faculty members cannot guide PhD scholars,” he said.A BTech student from the Computer Science Engineering department said 81 regular teachers are not enough to teach or guide around 7,000 students. “Guest faculty cannot handle all the work related to research, innovation and collaboration. We need regular teachers to run the Center of Excellence. If more qualified teachers are appointed, we will get benefits in various fields including placements and research projects. We request the government to fill the teaching posts,” he said.The College of Engineering and Technology, established in 1981, was granted unitary university status on October 8, 2021 and became OUTR. Earlier, it was functioning under Biju Patnaik University of Technology since 2002.

Who was Kermit Gosnell? ‘House of Horrors’ abortion doctor convicted of killing newborns dies in jail

Who was Kermit Gosnell? 'House of Horrors' abortion doctor convicted of killing newborns dies in jail

Former West Philadelphia abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell has died at the age of 85 while serving a multiple life sentence in prison. He was most recently incarcerated at the State Correctional Institution-Smithfield, located about 60 miles south of Pittsburgh.According to a report by the New York Post, Pennsylvania Department of Corrections spokeswoman Maria Bivens said Kermit Gosnell died on March 1 at a hospital outside the prison system. The cause of death was not disclosed.His name became nationally known after he was convicted in 2013 of manslaughter, including the death of a patient during a procedure, as well as three infants born alive.Her case attracted intense attention not only for its brutality, but also for how it fueled America’s deeply divided abortion debate.

Why his case shocked the country

Gosnell operated the Women’s Medical Society Clinic, later described by investigators as a “house of horrors”. Authorities who raided the facility in 2010 uncovered disturbing conditions, including improperly stored fetal remains, non-sterile equipment, and unsafe medical practices.Former staff testified that he routinely performed abortions beyond Pennsylvania’s legal 24-week limit.In some cases, infants were reportedly born alive and then killed by cutting their spinal cord, a method they called “snipping.”A 2011 grand jury report painted a grim picture, calling the clinic a “baby charnel house” and suggesting that many of the alleged crimes could not be prosecuted because of destroyed records.

conviction and sentence

In 2013, Gosnell was found guilty of:

  • Three counts of first-degree murder (infant born alive)
  • Involuntary manslaughter (death of patient due to overdose of anesthetics)
  • He was sentenced to life imprisonment without parole. Later, he also pleaded guilty to federal drug charges involving illegally distributing prescription drugs, adding a 30-year sentence.

Regulatory failures and consequences

One of the most controversial aspects of the case was not just Gosnell’s actions, but the systemic failures that allowed him to continue for years.The investigators found that:

  • State officials had not inspected abortion clinics for more than 15 years
  • Complaints and warnings were largely ignored
  • The oversight lapse was partly attributed to political concerns about restricting abortion access.

Following the scandal, two state health officials were fired and Pennsylvania tightened regulations and inspection protocols for clinics. Gosnell’s crimes soon became an issue in the broader debate over abortion, regulation, and patient safety, several years after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. While abortion opponents cited the case as evidence of serious oversight failures, abortion rights advocates argued that it highlighted the risks of poor regulation rather than legal access.

Tamil Nadu Assembly elections: Alliance taking shape amid AIADMK-DMK contest – past performance highlights | india news

Tamil Nadu Assembly elections: Alliance taking shape amid AIADMK-DMK contest - past performance highlights

New Delhi: As Tamil Nadu Assembly elections approach, political activities have intensified in the state, with key alliances strengthening and parties recalibrating strategies based on past performance and evolving voter dynamics. However, the contest is once again expected to center around the DMK-led alliance and the AIADMK-led NDA front. BJP Trying to expand its footprint. AIADMK The party on Monday finalized seat-sharing with its key allies, allocating 27 seats to the BJP, 18 seats to the PMK faction led by its president Anbumani Ramadoss and 11 seats to the TTV Dhinakaran-led AMMK, completing talks between key constituents of the opposition front for the assembly elections.Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam in the 2021 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections (DMK) led coalition won a decisive victory, winning 159 out of 234 seats, returning to power after a decade. The DMK itself won 133 seats with about 36.8% vote share. Its major ally, the Indian National Congress (INC), won 18 seats with about 4.4% vote share.On the other hand, the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK)-led alliance managed 75 seats, with the AIADMK winning 66 seats and securing around 33.3% vote share. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), contesting the elections as part of the AIADMK alliance, won 4 seats with about 2.6% vote share.Smaller players also played a role in shaping the outcome. Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) won 5 seats, while Viduthalai Chiruthigal Katchi (VCK), aligned with the DMK, won 4 seats. Left parties, including the Communist Party of India (CPI) and the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI(M)), won 2 seats each, contributing to the DMK-led block’s total.The vote share split highlighted a bipolar contest, with the DMK-led alliance collectively polling around 45%, while the AIADMK-led front secured around 39%, indicating a relatively consolidated anti-incumbency vote against the then AIADMK government.As the state enters the next election cycle, alliances have once again become unstable. The DMK is expected to maintain its core alliance with the Congress, Left parties and VCK on the basis of welfare schemes and governance record. Meanwhile, the AIADMK is dealing with internal challenges and alliance uncertainties, especially after the rift in its ties with the BJP.The BJP, despite its modest vote share, is attempting to emerge as a more influential player by contesting more seats this time, aiming to convert its growing vote advantage into seats.At stake in the upcoming election is not only power in one of India’s most politically divided states, but also the future of Dravidian politics, which has historically resisted the dominance of the national party. While the DMK will try to protect its mandate, the AIADMK will face the challenge of rebuilding leadership unity, and the BJP will test whether its expansion strategy can disrupt Tamil Nadu’s strong political binary.

IPL 2026: When you think of KKR, Rinku Singh’s name comes after Shahrukh Khan, says Ajinkya Rahane

Kolkata Knight Riders captain Ajinkya Rahane had special praise for Rinku Singh after the franchise appointed him the vice-captain ahead of the 2026 Indian Premier League season.

Speaking at Knights Unplugged 3.0, Rahane underlined how integral Rinku has become to the identity of the franchise.

Rahane said, “Obviously, and you yourself have summed it up, when we think of KKR, the first name that comes to our mind is Shahrukh Khan; the next name that comes to our mind is Rinku Singh.”

Rinku’s rise in the ranks

Rinku’s journey with Kolkata Knight Riders has been one of perseverance and gradual growth. Having spent seven years with the franchise, he has not always got the opportunities that many young players get in the IPL. Often used as a substitute fielder in his early years, Rinku had to make the most of limited opportunities.

By performing consistently well in those moments, he earned his place in the core of the team and is now considered one of the most important players of KKR. His rise at the franchise level also extended to the international stage, where he broke into India’s T20I setup and was part of the team that won. T20 World Cup in Ahmedabad.

KKR head coach Abhishek Nair also reflected on Rinku’s journey and growth within the setup.

“I think it’s quite appropriate because my first memory of coming to KKR and being part of the support staff was working with Rinku Singh. So now taking over as the head coach, I think over the years we have seen Rinku Singh develop not only as a cricketer but also as a leader over the years, while his performances have spoken for themselves, I think in many ways off the field, speak volumes.” Without saying, he is someone the team always looks up to,” Nair said.

He said the time felt right to hand Rinku more responsibility within the group.

“Now with the big power hitter, we wanted a little more responsibility on his shoulders and I think after becoming a World Cup champion it’s the right time for him to take that responsibility and help take the reins,” he said.

Rinku on vice-captaincy duties

Before the new season, KKR confirms Rinku Singh as vice-captainA decision that reflects both his development and position within the team. Addressing the team and management at the event, Rinku explained what this role means to her.

“It feels amazing. You have given me the opportunity to serve as vice-captain. Recently, Team India became world champions and I was a part of that journey. It is every player’s dream to represent Team India and win the World Cup, so that dream of mine has now come true.”

As far as the responsibility you have entrusted to me, sir, I will give my best. I will work closely with my colleagues and all of you and perform my duties with full dedication.

I would also like to say: Please continue to support our team, whether we are going through good times or bad. Your support is needed even more in difficult times. That’s all I want to say.

We, as a team, will definitely play well. We have a very strong team. While the tournament takes place every year, we will strive to perform even better this time and aim to bring home the trophy.”

Rinku’s appointment is another milestone in a journey built on patience and performance, with the franchise reposing faith in one of its most consistent performers.

ग्रेटर नोएडा में नवजात बच्ची की खरीद-फरोख्त का खुलासा, अस्पताल संचालक समेत कई गिरफ्तार

ग्रेटर नोएडा के बिसरख थाना क्षेत्र स्थित नवजीवन अस्पताल में नवजात बच्ची की खरीद-फरोख्त का सनसनीखेज मामला सामने आया है। इस घटना ने न सिर्फ स्वास्थ्य व्यवस्था बल्कि निजी अस्पतालों की कार्यप्रणाली पर भी गंभीर सवाल खड़े कर दिये हैं. पुलिस जांच में एक के बाद एक चौंकाने वाले खुलासे हो रहे हैं. इस पूरे मामले में अस्पताल संचालक, नर्स, तकनीशियन और अन्य कर्मचारियों की संलिप्तता सामने आयी है. बताया जा रहा है कि नवजात बच्ची को 2.60 लाख रुपये में बेचने का सौदा तय हुआ था. फिलहाल पुलिस और स्वास्थ्य विभाग संयुक्त रूप से मामले की गहराई से जांच कर रही है.

यह सौदा अस्पताल के कर्मचारियों की मिलीभगत से किया गया था
पुलिस जांच में पता चला है कि इस पूरे मामले में मुख्य आरोपी अस्पताल संचालिका याशिका गर्ग है. उनके निर्देश पर ही अस्पताल के कर्मचारियों ने नवजात बच्ची को बेचने के लिए ग्राहक की तलाश शुरू की। इस काम में तकनीशियन रणजीत सिंह और सफाई कर्मचारी गजेंद्र भी शामिल थे. ग्राहक ढूंढने से लेकर डील फाइनल करने तक नर्स पुष्पा और उसके बॉयफ्रेंड ने अहम भूमिका निभाई. पुलिस ने इन सभी आरोपियों को गिरफ्तार कर लिया है.

अस्पताल सील, जांच के लिए कमेटी गठित
मामले की गंभीरता को देखते हुए मुख्य चिकित्साधिकारी डॉ. नरेंद्र कुमार ने तीन सदस्यीय जांच कमेटी गठित कर दी है। यह कमेटी अस्पताल के डिलीवरी रजिस्टर, मरीजों के रिकॉर्ड व अन्य दस्तावेजों की जांच करेगी. अस्पताल को सील कर दिया गया है. जांच का मकसद यह पता लगाना है कि क्या पहले भी ऐसे मामले हुए हैं. शुरुआती जांच में यह भी पता चला है कि अस्पताल में लिंग परीक्षण जैसी अवैध गतिविधियां भी हो रही थीं.

नवजात की मां की तलाश जारी है
इस मामले में सबसे अहम कड़ी नवजात बच्ची की असली मां है, जिसकी पहचान अभी तक नहीं हो पाई है. बताया जा रहा है कि बच्ची को जन्म देने वाली लड़की की उम्र करीब 18 साल है. पुलिस अस्पताल के रिकॉर्ड और आसपास के लोगों से पूछताछ कर उसकी पहचान करने की कोशिश कर रही है।

रिकार्ड छिपाने की कोशिश, जांच में बढ़ी सख्ती
जांच में यह बात भी सामने आई कि संचालक के गिरफ्तार होते ही कुछ कर्मचारी रिकार्ड रूम में ताला लगाकर भाग गए। इससे जांच में शुरुआती दिक्कतें आईं, लेकिन अब कमेटी की निगरानी में रिकॉर्ड खोले जा रहे हैं। पुलिस और स्वास्थ्य विभाग मिलकर हर सबूत जुटा रहे हैं.

स्वास्थ्य व्यवस्था पर उठे गंभीर सवाल!
इस घटना ने निजी अस्पतालों की निगरानी और पारदर्शिता पर सवाल खड़े कर दिये हैं. ऐसी जगह जहां लोग सुरक्षित इलाज की उम्मीद करते हैं, वहां इस तरह की गैरकानूनी प्रथाएं बेहद चिंताजनक हैं। अब सबकी नजर जांच रिपोर्ट पर है, ताकि इस पूरे नेटवर्क का सच सामने आ सके.
