Air India flight AI180, traveling from San Francisco to Mumbai, experienced a technical malfunction in its left engine upon landing at Kolkata’s Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Airport at 12:45 am. The aircraft landed on schedule, but the engine snag delayed its onward journey. Passengers were asked to deplane around 5:20 am, with the captain citing flight safety as the reason.

The model’s family had lodged a missing person’s report at the Matlauda police station on June 15 after Sheetal went missing.

The clarification comes amid political criticism, particularly from the Congress, which alleged that the gazette notification issued on Monday did not mention caste enumeration.
