Operation Sindoor: Navy Officer’s Remarks on IAF Losses ‘Twisted,’ Says Indian Embassy
Amid rising media chatter over reported IAF setbacks in Operation Sindoor, the Indian Embassy in Indonesia has stepped in to clear the air, stating that the Navy officer’s remarks were twisted out of context and widely misinterpreted. The controversy flared after Defense Attaché Captain Shiv Kumar, during a seminar presentation, reportedly made remarks about the IAF’s role in the anti-terror offensive. These comments quickly made headlines, sparking speculation and political noise. “The remarks have been quoted out of context. The reports floating in the media misrepresent the speaker’s actual message and intent.” The embassy clarified that the officer’s main point was to highlight the disciplined and professional nature of India’s military, which functions entirely under civilian command—a contrast to some neighboring countries. It also reaffirmed that Operation Sindoor, launched in May in response to the brutal Pahalgam terror attack, was a calibrated and non-escalatory strike targeting terror infrastructure, not a military confrontation aimed at provocation. “The intent was never to sensationalize losses but to highlight India’s responsible and strategic approach,” said an official. As tensions simmer across the region, the embassy’s swift response aims to shut down any attempts at twisting operational details or sowing confusion about India’s military stance. Operation Sindoor Sparks Political Firestorm: Defence Attaché’s Remarks Ignite ControversyOn June 10 in Indonesia, Defense Attaché Captain Shiv Kumar made a striking revelation, disclosing that the Indian Air Force suffered aircraft losses during the first wave of Operation Sindoor against terror camps in PoK and Pakistan. Captain Kumar explained that the initial limitations set by political leadership—instructing forces not to strike Pakistan’s military infrastructure or air defenses—may have contributed to the IAF’s early setbacks. “Only because of the constraint given by the political leadership…” he noted, highlighting the tight leash under which the forces operated initially. However, Kumar also emphasized how tactics shifted after the losses. “We then targeted military installations, first suppressing enemy air defenses, and launched precision attacks using BrahMos missiles,” he said, showcasing India’s decisive retaliation strategy in the later phases. But the remarks, once leaked, triggered a political storm back home. The Congress party pounced on the statement, calling it a “direct indictment” of the BJP-led government’s strategy.Congress leaders, including Jairam Ramesh and Pawan Khera, questioned why the PM refused to convene an all-party meet and alleged the government was “terrified” of what might be revealed if Parliament were to probe deeper. As the row intensifies, the Indian Embassy in Indonesia has already clarified that the Navy officer’s comments were taken out of context—but the debate back home shows no signs of cooling down.
Kolkata Law Student Gang Rape: College Guard Arrested for ‘Negligence and Suspected Involvement’
In a disturbing turn of events, Kolkata Police arrested 55-year-old security guard Pinaki Banerjee, making him the fourth accused in the horrific gang rape case involving a first-year law student at South Calcutta Law College. Banerjee’s arrest comes shortly after the detention of three key suspects, one of whom is a former student and local Trinamool Congress leader. While police haven’t confirmed his direct involvement in the act itself, they say Banerjee “failed in his duty” to prevent the crime and showed suspicious behavior during questioning. According to investigators, the guard was present at the college during the incident, as confirmed by CCTV footage, yet he neither intervened nor reported the horrific crime that unfolded on June 25. “His answers have been inconsistent, and he hasn’t been able to justify why he left his post during a critical time,” a senior officer said. “Whether he acted on someone’s instructions or out of fear—that too is under probe.” The police are now looking into whether Banerjee was acting alone or was part of a wider cover-up. His silence and inaction, officials suggest, could amount to deliberate negligence or passive complicity. As the investigation deepens, the entire city remains on edge, demanding swift justice for the young survivor and accountability from those who failed her.

Puri Rath Yatra Turns Chaotic: 600+ Fall Ill Due to Scorching Heat & Massive Crowd Surge
What was supposed to be a grand spiritual celebration in Puri turned tense on Friday, June 27, as over 600 devotees fell ill during the iconic Rath Yatra due to unbearable heat and overcrowding According to Chief District Medical Officer Dr. Kishore Satapathy, many devotees suffered from vomiting, fainting spells, and minor injuries. While most were treated and discharged quickly, around 70 people remain hospitalized, with 9 reported in critical condition. “Fortunately, no lives have been lost,” confirmed Dr. Satapathy. Heatwave & Overcrowding BlamedOdisha Health Minister Mukesh Mahaling cited the hot and humid weather as a major reason behind the sudden spike in health issues. The situation worsened in the Balagandi area when Lord Balabhadra’s chariot, Taladhwaja, got stuck for over an hour, causing a bottleneck and stampede-like congestion. Many people were injured while attempting to escape the packed area. Quick action by volunteers and medical teams from both government and private organizations enabled the prompt transportation of the injured to nearby hospitals. Yatra to Resume TodayDue to the delay, all three holy chariots failed to arrive at the Gundicha Temple on Friday. But devotees need not worry — the pulling of the chariots will continue today, as is often the case when such large-scale delays occur. “There’s nothing unusual. All rituals were conducted on time, and there were no serious mishaps,” said Odisha Law Minister Prithiviraj Harichandan. At last update: Lord Balabhadra’s Taladhwaja is halted at Balagandi Chhak Goddess Subhadra’s Darpadalan is at Marichkote Lord Jagannath’s Nandighosh was only symbolically pulled and remains near the main temple Over 1 Million Devotees Flooded PuriAs per officials, an estimated 10 lakh devotees gathered in Puri for this year’s Rath Yatra, making it one of the largest religious gatherings in the country. Despite the health scares and chariot delays, the devotional spirit remains high, and Puri gears up for Day 2 of the Yatra with hopes of smooth proceedings.
