  • Flight Horror: Woman Alleges Jindal Executive Groped Her, Showed Porn Clips |

    Incidents of misbehaviour and assaults involving women during flights have become increasingly common. A recent incident involving a woman on a flight from Kolkata to Abu Dhabi has sparked yet another debate over women’s safety. 

    The woman was allegedly shown pornographic clips and groped by a senior executive from Jindal Group. She was flying with Etihad Airways when the man named Dinesh Kr Saraogi, who she claimed was in his mid-sixties, started engaging with her in a casual conversation before making his move.  

    Started Casual Conversation; Made His Move  

    The 28-year-old woman identified herself as the co-chair of the India Conference at Harvard University. She recounted the harrowing experience on the social media platform ‘X.’ She shared an incident that happened to her during a flight from Calcutta to Abu Dhabi, which was a transit to Boston.

    She recalled that she was sitting next to an industrialist who she claimed was the CEO of Jindal Steel. He told her about his life in Oman, where he now resided, though he frequently traveled. His conversation began innocently enough, touching upon the roots, family, and hobbies. He hailed from Churu in Rajasthan and shared that both of his sons were married and settled in the US, the woman said.

    As the conversation progressed, he inquired about hobbies, specifically if she enjoyed watching movies. When she responded affirmatively, he mentioned having some movie clips on his phone.

    He must be roughly 65 in age & told me he now lives in Oman but travels frequently. He started chatting me up – very normal conversation about our roots, family etc

    He is from Churu in Rajasthan…

    The woman said, “He then proceeds to tell me he has some movie clips on his phone. He whips out his phone and earphones to show me PORN!” The situation rapidly escalated as he began groping her.

    Flight staffs quickly relocated her to other seating area, offering me tea and fruits to calm her nerves.

    She added, “I am forever grateful to your 2 crew members on flight EY 257 on July 16 from CCU to AUH, who shielded me and stood by through this ordeal.” The woman further expressed that, “The woman shared, “I am fine, a little rattled and disturbed. I feel violated, but I also want to make sure this never happens to another woman.”

    Meanwhile, the man continued to pester the staff, repeatedly asking about the woman’s whereabouts. The flight crew also informed the police in Abu Dhabi, ensuring that law enforcement was waiting as soon as the plane landed.

    I am very grateful to the staff of @__Etiihad and the Abu Dhabi police for the support they provided me.

  • Madhya Pradesh Woman, Who Accused Local BJP Leader Of Sexual Assault, Dies Under Mysterious Circumstance; Congress Slams Saffron Party |

    SAGAR: Senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh on Monday demanded the removal of the collector and superintendent of police of Madhya Pradesh’s Sagar district after the sister of a slain Dalit youth died under mysterious circumstances. Terming the incident heart-rending, senior Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said on X that BJP leaders are after the Constitution because they don’t want women, Dalits, ST and backwards to live with dignity in the country.

    “And they won’t get an opportunity to be heard’ wherever atrocities on women are committed Narendra Modi (Prime Minister) and his government saved the accused. If the sisters against whom atrocities are committed demanded justice, then their families are devastated. The women of the country won’t sit silent anymore,” she wrote.

    Singh reached the Barodia Nonagir village to meet the family members of Anjana Ahirwar who died on Sunday after falling from an ambulance carrying her uncle’s body. The administration promised to give Anjana a government job, did they give her one? They made some other promises too like demolishing houses (of the accused), did they demolish? …I am not in favour of bulldozing someone’s house, but you demolish many persons’ houses in the name of action, he said.

    Singh spoke to Anjana’s family sitting next to her body and later took part in her funeral. Anjana’s uncle Rajendra Ahirwar was beaten to death on May 25 by some persons over an old enmity, police sources said. Anjana had alleged that her brother Nitin Ahirwar, alias Lalu, was killed in August last year by some people who used to harass her.

    Anjana died on Sunday after she fell from an ambulance carrying her uncle’s body in Sagar. Singh demanded the removal of the entire district administration, including the collector and superintendent of police (SP), over the incident. The woman’s family members told Singh that the security provided to them was removed by the administration and even cameras installed in their area were taken away.

    Anjana was an educated woman and was taking care of the family. She is no more today and I am very disappointed, Singh said. The Congress leader claimed police security was removed 10 days before the present incident. A lot of pressure was exerted on them to change their statements, he said.
    There were three witnesses to the murder of Lalu..One Rajendra, another one was Anjana and third her mother.

    Rajendra was killed because he did not come under pressure. And Anjana died, Singh said. Anjana had complained to the police a few days back about mounting pressure to change their statement but cops did not act on it, he alleged. Since the beginning, Anjana had maintained that one Ankit Thakur was involved in the incident, but he was not arrested as he is a muscleman and has been given shelter politically, Singh claimed.

    Rajendra Ahirwar (24) died of injuries he had sustained in a clash between two groups under Khurai police station limits, Additional Superintendent of Police Lokesh Sinha earlier told reporters. Anjana fell from the ambulance carrying the body of Rajendra Ahirwar to their village after the postmortem in Sagar. Their family members were accompanying the body, said Sinha. When asked if Rajendra Ahirwar was killed due to pressure for compromise in the old case, Sinha said all facts would come out during the investigation.

    Nitin Ahirwar was allegedly beaten to death by a group of people over an old enmity in Sagar district last August. Following his death, Anjana Ahirwar lodged an FIR alleging her brother was murdered as some persons were pressuring her for a compromise in the harassment case.
