Mumbai, Jun 29: A youth, travelling from Saudi Arabia's Dammam to Mumbai, was arrested for molesting a Jet Airways air hostess and taking a selfie against her will, according to a report. He further violated aircraft rules by smoking in the toilet.

jetMohammed Abubakar (29), hailing from Gujarat, was arrested after the Dammam-Mumbai flight landed at Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (CSIA).

The matter began once the flight from Dammam took off. The air hostess in her complaint claimed that Abubakar caught her hand while boarding, and forced her to take a selfie. "I was walking on board when the passenger (Abubakar) caught my hand and said 'Chalo na yaar, ek selfie lethe hai'. Despite objecting, he repeatedly misbehaved with me during the journey," she said.

The air hostess raised her voice when he misbehaved with her following which four cabin crew members came to her rescue. On seeing the crew there, Abubakar walked away to the toilet where he had a smoke, violating safety rules. The crew then asked him to hand over his cigarettes and lighter to them.

Abubakar, who claims to be employed with a hotel at Dammam told the police he clicked the selfie "for fun".

The man is in judicial custody and is booked under IPC's 354 outraging modesty of women), 336 (act endangering life or personal safety of others), and under Aircraft Rules section 25 (safety violations). His mobile phone has been seized and will be sent to the forensic sciences laboratory (FSL).

Bengaluru, Jan 15: The Indian startups secured 12.7 billion in funding last year -- a 15% growth compared to 2018 - and Bengaluru startup community topped the list, with securing $5.3 billion across 267 deals, a new report said on Tuesday.

In total, the Indian startups attracted 766 deals in 2019, taking total deal count between 2014-2019 to 5,011, said DataLabs by Inc42 in its annual startup funding report.

Sequoia took the top spot as the most active VC in 2019 with 53 deals, followed by Accel that participated in 38 deals. Blume Ventures, Matrix Partners and Tiger Global were in the top five VCs in 2019.

"The Indian startup economy is entering new decade with over $58 billion in fundraising and 2,984 funded startups between 2014-2019," the findings showed.

With an average of $21 million, the ticket size value of funding increased by 15% in 2019.

Ecommerce and fintech -- with $2.6 billion funding each -- took the top slot with 93 deals and 125 deals, respectively.

"Ecommerce continued to remain at the top by the end of 2019. The growing investor confidence towards sub-sectors such as vertical ecommerce, social commerce and private label businesses is one major factor for ecommerce maintaining its lead," a DataLabs spokesperson said in a statement.

According to the estimates, the funding amount and deal count in 2020 will be around $12.6 billion at a 1% decline from 2019.

"Nevertheless, the investment activity is expected to rise in 2021," said the report.

The data suggests that 2019 had lowest number of startups funded (664) in the last five years, with seed-stage funding deals dropping by 53%, compared to 2016.

With $252 million in funding, seed-stage deal value fell by 44% (compared to 2018) as only 306 seed funding deals were recorded, the report said.

The enterprise tech had a blockbuster year with total funding of $1.15 billion across 114 deals in 2019. The sector recorded a 49% surge in total funding amount, compared to 2018.

The Indian startup economy saw 275 unique VCs participating in funding in 2019, said the report.

Mangaluru, Jan 16: Following the widespread protests against the National Register of Citizens (NRC) and Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), former minister and MLA UT Khader on Thursday urged the Centre and State government to address the concerns of the people.

Speaking to reporters here on Thursday, he said there is widespread confusion among the public with regard to the implementation of the Act. People are reluctant to open their doors to Asha workers, out of fear that the NRC exercise is being implemented, said Khader.

He urged the chief minister and home minister to gain the trust of the people on the CAA issue.
