The Story in Brief
The pilot of an Air India Phuket-Delhi flight that dropped 300 feet in turbulence on August 4 tested non-negative for psychoactive substances, the aviation ministry said. His sample is now being confirmed; both pilots have been removed from duty pending investigation.
Israel rejected a 15-point US Gaza peace plan, with Benjamin Netanyahu demanding full Hamas disarmament before any Israeli withdrawal. Mamata Banerjee alleged stones, bottles and footwear were hurled at her convoy in Bengal, accusing police of protecting the BJP. Russia proposed a direct rail link to India via Iran and Pakistan. Pakistan's PML-N softened its stance on PoK protesters, calling 99% patriotic.
The Indian Opinion
A 'non-negative' test is not a positive test, yet social media has already declared the Air India captain guilty. Aviation safety demands caution, not conviction by headline. The real test will be the confirmatory report and the turbulence probe. Until then, can we wait for facts?
