High-flying gang of Char Dham thieves busted at Badrinath shrine
Wednesday, 7 May 2025 The "Pushpa Gang," an organized group of pickpockets from Andhra Pradesh, was apprehended at Badrinath shrine for targeting Char Dham pilgrims. The gang, led by Krishna Chhedoja, flew to Uttarakhand and other pilgrimage sites, exploiting crowds to steal valuables. Police recovered cash, mobile phones, and ATM cards after intensified surveillance following numerous theft complaints from devotees.
Chopper Crash in Uttarakhand continues as yet another Kedarnath-bound chopper crash-lands near Badasu. This marks the fourth helicopter safety crisis on the Char Dham route in 30 days. The AW119 aircraft suffered a tail rotor failure and made an emergency landing on a road, narrowly avoiding a major disaster. Although no fatalities occurred, Chopper Crash in Uttarakhand raises serious questions about maintenance checks, pilot training, and aviation regulations in India’s high-altitude pilgrimage zones. Authorities are investigating the Chopper Crash in Uttarakhand, but the recurring nature of these accidents indicates a deepening helicopter safety crisis that can no longer be ignored. Experts urge immediate reforms to avert more tragedies.
