On November 3, which cargo did Antonov-124 aircraft unload at the airport in Dhaka?

An Antonov An-124 cargo aircraft (registration UR-82027) attracted attention after making a prolonged stopover of nearly 12 hours at Dhaka’s Hazrat Shah Jalal International Airport on November 3. The Ukrainian-registered plane, designated flight ADB341F, had earlier departed from Baku in Azerbaijan and later flew to Hong Kong after its stay in Dhaka. Flight tracking data confirmed it as a non-military cargo transporter. Its flight path included trajectories over the Persian Gulf—where the US Navy’s Fifth Fleet operates—and across western and eastern India before reaching Bangladesh. Earlier in April 2025, the same aircraft reportedly transported fuselages of a US F-16 variant to Poland’s Rzeszów, a logistics hub linked to Ukraine-bound military supplies.

In Guwahati, Assam police bust a dacoity group and confiscate Rs 98,000 in counterfeit currency.

“The East Guwahati Police District (EGPD) team from Basistha Police Station, Assam, has made a significant breakthrough by busting a gang involved in circulating Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) and plotting a dacoity in Guwahati. Acting on credible intelligence, the team conducted a late-night operation in Koinadhara, Khanapara, leading to the arrest of seven suspects and the seizure of fake currency worth Rs 98,500, along with weapons, mobile phones, bamboo sticks, and vehicles. The police intercepted two vehicles during the raid and recovered incriminating materials following proper legal procedures. The arrested individuals are from various districts, including Laluk, Bihpuria, Tezpur, Rupohi, and Kochua.

The Police Commissionerate confirmed that the gang was preparing to commit a dacoity when caught, marking a major success in Assam Police’s crackdown on organized crime and counterfeit currency networks. Chief Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma and DGP Assam Police praised the swift, coordinated police action.

The Manipur government calls out the “exorbitant” increase in airfare, and ACS meets with AAI officials and airlines at a high level.

“Additional Chief Secretary Anurag Bajpai convened a meeting with representatives from the Airports Authority of India, Air India Express, IndiGo, and Alliance Air on November 4 to address the abnormal surge in airfares and restricted flight connectivity in Manipur’s Imphal sector. Airfares for the short Imphal–Guwahati route have soared from Rs 2,000–3,000 to Rs 10,000–15,000, up to seven times higher than fares for similar distances in other northeastern states. With road connectivity frequently disrupted and rail services yet to be operational, air travel is the only reliable mode of transport. The Governor of Manipur has urged the Union Civil Aviation Minister to intervene and regulate airfares to alleviate the financial burden on local travelers. Bajpai emphasized ensuring airfare parity with other northeastern states, maintaining summer-level flight frequencies during winter, and requested reinstatement of suspended regional routes along with exploring new international services. The government remains committed to preserving physical and economic connectivity with socially equitable air travel pricing in the state.”

In the Arunachal adolescent suicide case, an IAS officer was given bail.

“The District and Sessions Court in Itanagar on Tuesday granted bail to senior IAS officer Talo Potom in connection with the alleged abetment of suicide of a 19-year-old youth. The case stems from the death of Gomchu Yekar, who was found dead in his rented accommodation on October 24. In a suicide note recovered from the scene, Yekar reportedly accused former Itanagar Capital Region Deputy Commissioner Potom and Rural Works Department Executive Engineer Likwang Lowang of sexual exploitation, harassment, coercion, and threats. Following the incident, police registered a case under Sections 108, 271, 272, and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita at Nirjuli Police Station. Potom surrendered before the police on October 27 and had been in judicial custody for 14 days.

In his order, District and Sessions Judge Dr Hirendra Kashyap observed that the evidence on record did not prima facie establish the charge of abetment of suicide and that further detention of the accused was unnecessary for the ongoing investigation. The court granted bail on a personal bond of Rs. 1 lakh with one surety of a similar amount. Potom has been directed to cooperate with the investigation, appear before the investigating officer as required, and refrain from influencing witnesses or tampering with evidence in any manner.”​

TAYPA renews its call for ST recognition and independent governance at a large torch march in Moran in Assam.

Thousands of Tai Ahom community members staged a massive torch rally in Moran town, Dibrugarh district, demanding Scheduled Tribe (ST) status for their community. The rally, organized by influential Tai Ahom groups including the Tai Ahom Yuba Parishad Assam (TAYPA) and the All Tai Ahom Students Union (ATASU), saw protesters marching with burning torches and chanting slogans like “No ST, No Rest.” The demonstration highlighted growing frustration over the ruling BJP government’s failure to fulfill a promise made over a decade ago during the 2014 Lok Sabha elections to grant ST status to the Tai Ahoms and other communities.

TAYPA president Diganta Tamuly warned the government ahead of the 2026 Assam Assembly elections that if the demand for ST status remained unmet, the Tai Ahom community would boycott the BJP and that the party would face severe political backlash. The Tai Ahoms, descendants of the historic Ahom dynasty that ruled Assam for six centuries, have significant electoral influence in upper Assam districts. Despite repeated assurances over the years, the community, along with five other groups, continue to be excluded from the Scheduled Tribe list, fueling political tensions and protests like the Moran torch rally.
