Former Indian PM Dr. Manmohan Singh passes away at 92
New Delhi: Former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh passed away at the age of 92. He was admitted to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIMS) on Thursday after his health reportedly detoriated.
According to sources, Dr. Singh was brought to the hospital's emergency department around 8 PM. However, the specific reason for his hospitalisation has not yet been disclosed.
Dr. Manmohan Singh is widely recognized for his pivotal role in steering India’s economic liberalisation as Finance Minister in the PV Narasimha Rao government from 1991 to 1996. His economic reforms during that period marked a transformative era for the Indian economy.
Serving as Prime Minister for two consecutive terms from 2004 to 2014 under the UPA government, Dr. Singh has been a towering figure in Indian politics. Until earlier this year, he was a member of the Rajya Sabha, retiring in April after decades of public service.

Bengaluru: FIR filed against YouTube channel for flying drone in no-fly zone near KIA
Bengaluru: The Bengaluru International Airport police have registered an FIR against a YouTube channel named 'Bangalore Wanderlust' for allegedly flying a drone in a restricted no-fly zone near Kempegowda International Airport, violating aviation safety rules.
According to Deccan Herald on Monday, a senior police officer said the case was registered based on a complaint filed by officials of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF). The drone footage in question was uploaded on the YouTube channel on January 4, 2026.
The drone was allegedly flown in the Red Zone area where aerial operations are strictly prohibited as per Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) regulations and posed a potential threat to aviation safety.
The DGCA’s vigilance team reportedly noticed the aerial footage online and alerted CISF personnel, following which a complaint was lodged and legal action initiated.
"We are verifying details of the channel operator and also involvement of a third party or whether any other government agency had asked him to shoot the video by giving money. Action will be initiated against those responsible if found guilty," the officer said.
Further investigation is under way.
