CJP Leaders Ranka and Das Remain in Custody After Magistrate Recusal

CJP leaders Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das remain in judicial custody after a court extended their detention by two days. They were arrested on October 13 for scaling locked gates at Jantar Mantar, a site recently denotified as a protest zone. A bail hearing on October 19 was delayed when the Special Executive Magistrate recused himself, citing threats to his life. CJP legal head Ratna Singh accused authorities of procedural delays, while police registered a case for criminal intimidation against the magistrate.

Air India Phuket-Delhi AI-2379: Stall, Hydraulics, and a Captain’s Marijuana Finding

An Air India Airbus A320 on AI-2379 from Phuket to Delhi dropped about 300 feet during cruise after a stall warning, with the first officer at the controls while the captain was away from his seat. The nose pitched down, the crew performed a stall-recovery and stabilized the aircraft, which landed safely in Delhi. Engineering logs showed a sequence of hydraulic-system warnings and an elevator fault, prompting an international investigation with Airbus/BEA assistance. Post-flight psychoactive testing reportedly found the captain positive for marijuana while the first officer was clear, and both pilots have been stood down as investigations continue.

Delhi reaffirmed that the entire Jammu and Kashmir region is an integral part of India, and called for accountability from Pakistan, even as it highlighted a row over a New York Times headline describing PoK.
