BJP MP's son shot at in UP, cops say attack staged
Lucknow, Mar 3: BJP MP Kaushal Kishore's son was shot at in Lucknow in the early hours of Wednesday, with the police claiming that he staged the attack on himself by his brother-in-law to falsely implicate some people in the case.
Ayush (30), the son of the BJP MP from Mohanlalganj, was shot at in the Madiaon area here around 2 am.

He was rushed to a hospital, from where he was discharged after being administered first aid.
An FIR has been lodged against Ayush and his brother-in-law (wife's brother) Adarsh and the latter has been arrested, Lucknow Police Commissioner D K Thakur told PTI.
Efforts are on to trace Ayush, he said.
Earlier in the day, Thakur had said, "The probe so far has indicated that he (Ayush) staged the firing at him by his brother-in-law. The weapon used in the act has been recovered."
Manoj Kumar Singh, Station House Officer (SHO), Madiaon police station, said the incident took place around 2 am.
Adarsh has admitted that he had fired at Ayush, the SHO said.
"Adarsh has admitted that he fired at Ayush to falsely implicate some people in the case," he said, adding that a detailed probe is on.
Kishore told reporters that his son did not name anyone in connection with the incident. He only told him that he had gone out of his house with Adarsh when the attack took place, according to the MP of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
"Ayush and Adarsh know better what they are saying. They did not have an enmity with anyone. I have no idea why would they try to get someone falsely implicated," he added.

Bengaluru airport introduces AI-based system to enhance safety at vehicle-aircraft intersections
Bengaluru: Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL) has introduced an integrated smart airside safety system at Kempegowda International Airport to improve operational safety at key intersection zones.
According to The Hindu, the system has been designed to enhance safety at Cross Service Roads (CSRs), where aircraft and ground vehicle movements intersect.
According to BIAL, the system integrates AI-based computer vision, automation, and centralised monitoring to manage right-of-way movements and reduce the risk of human error.
“CRSs are among the most sensitive areas within airport operations, requiring precise and seamless coordination between aircraft and ground vehicles. Traditionally, right of way protection at these intersections relied on manual or semi-manual inset light activation, creating dependencies on human intervention, increasing the risk of delays and limiting operational visibility,” TH quoted BIAL as saying.
The new system uses real-time detection of vehicle movement, risk assessment, and automated signalling. AI-enabled cameras identify potential conflicts and trigger automated inset light signals to ensure aircraft priority. Normal operations resume once the area is confirmed clear.
“Based on these detections, the system triggers automated inset light activation to protect aircraft right‑of‑way and restores normal signalling once the intersection is confirmed clear. A centralised monitoring and analytics platform digitally logs all events, strengthening governance, compliance, and operational control,” BIAL said.
By embedding technology into operations, the system creates a data-driven separation layer between aircraft and ground vehicles, significantly reducing human error, especially during night and low-visibility conditions.
“Precision-led signal activation improves traffic flow, minimises unnecessary stoppage and enhances turnaround efficiency. It also establishes a scalable foundation for predictive safety analytics, enabling trend analysis, peak-hour optimisation, compliance mapping and risk forecasting to support continuous improvement and stronger airside governance,” BIAL said.
