Auto Driver Who Tried to Save Kids, Left With Several Injuries
From eyewitness accounts of the Air India crash to Mahua Moitra’s wedding and nuclear tension in West Asia—here’s what you need to know.
Rajesh Patni, an autorickshaw driver, had just dropped a passenger near the site where the Air India flight crashed in Ahmedabad. He was injured while trying to save people but what he saw that day, and in the hospital over the next three days, stayed with him. Watch the ground report by The Quint's Eshwar. Meanwhile, senior journalist Harinder Baweja speaks to Mahua Moitra after her recent wedding in Germany with politician Pinaki Misra, which has reignited conversations on non-conformity and personal freedom, especially among women in Indian politics. The Quint’s Aditya Menon looks closely at the Ludhiana West bypoll, which has become much bigger than just one seat for AAP, Congress and BJP. He also explains how the by-election may have inadvertently led to the death of former Gujarat CM Vijay Rupani in the Ahmedabad plane crash. Also in today’s line-up: how Iran-Israel tensions are rewriting the playbook on nuclear escalation. And, old videos falsely shared as real footage allegedly showing final moments from the Air India AI171 crash in Ahmedabad.

Queer, Not Quiet
This Pride Month, we're bringing "Queer, Not Quiet" with The Quint, a documentation of everyday lives, struggles and joys of the queer community in India.

We will share stories that we have covered over the last decade with compassion and conviction. From everyday courage to dazzling defiance, it's pride beyond the parade.
