Airtel's AI-Powered fraud detection system safeguards 3.1 million users in Odisha : Singh

Bhubaneswar, June 23 (UNI) As part of its nationwide rollout, Airtel's AI-powered fraud detection system has successfully protected over 3.1 million users in Odisha within just 40 days of its launch, R Balaji Singh, COO – Odisha, Bharti Airtel said here on Monday. The initiative, Singh said has made significant progress in safeguarding customers in the state from the growing menace of online fraud. He explained that the advanced fraud detection system, which is automatically enabled for all Airtel mobile and broadband users, scans and filters malicious links shared across SMS, WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook, Instagram, email, and various web browsers. Leveraging real-time threat intelligence, the system examines over 1 billion URLs daily and blocks access to harmful websites in less than 100 milliseconds. For example, if a Bhubaneswar resident receives a suspicious message like 'Your package is delayed. Track it here: and click on the link, Airtel's system immediately scans the URL. If it is flagged as suspicious, access is blocked, and the user is redirected to a warning message: 'Blocked! Airtel found this site dangerous!' This real-time interception helps prevent users from falling victim to various types of online fraud. Commenting on the initiative, Singh said, 'In an era where digital threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated and widespread, the need for a secure and reliable mobile network is more critical than ever. "With this AI-powered solution, we are proud to be the first and only network to integrate fraud protection directly into our infrastructure.' He added, 'We believe this system offers a comprehensive defense against cyber threats, empowering our customers in Odisha to navigate the digital world with greater confidence.' Singh met Shefeen Ahamed K, IG, CID Crime Branch & State Cyber Crime Nodal Officer, to discuss joint efforts on enhancing cyber safety in Odisha. UNI DP BM

‘Go back, stitch slippers': FIR lodged against 3 IndiGo officials for alleged caste based harassment of trainee pilot

A trainee pilot at Indigo Airlines has alleged that three officials engaged in caste-based discrimination and humiliation during a meeting on April 28 in Gurgaon, according to a report by the Times of India (TOI). An FIR has been registered against these officials. The case has been filed under the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. The 35-year-old trainee pilot from Bengaluru has alleged that his senior colleagues, Tapas Dey, Manish Sahani, and Captain Rahul Patil, made casteist remarks against him including statements such as 'you are not fit to fly an aircraft, go back and stitch slippers' and 'you don't even have the worth to be a watchman here," the report said. The 'harassment' began after the complainant was asked by Dey to leave his phone and bag outside in a 'demeaning manner,' it added. The trainee pilot claimed that the harassment continued for days and was intended to pressurise him to resign. "The statements they made were not only humiliating but clearly aimed at degrading my identity and status as a Scheduled Caste person," the report quoted the complaint. He alleged that harassment was more than verbal abuse, including unjustified salary deductions, forced retraining sessions, revocation of travel privileges, and unwarranted warning letters. The complainant raised the issue to the higher authorities and the ethics committee of the airlines; however, no action was taken against the accused officials, forcing him to approach legal recourse, the report noted. The FIR, which was first filed in Bengaluru and transferred to t DLF-1 police station in Gurgaon was lodged under sections 3(1)(r) and 3(1)(s) of the SC/ST Act, that address intentional insults or intimidation intended to humiliate a member of a Scheduled Caste or Scheduled Tribe in public sphere. The FIR has also been filed under Sections 351(2) (criminal intimidation), 352 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of peace), and 3(5) (common intention) of BNS. "We have begun collecting evidence and will soon record the statements of all parties involved," assistant sub-inspector Dalwinder Singh told TOI. Denying the allegations by the trainee pilot, an IndiGo spokesperson told ANI, 'IndiGo upholds a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of discrimination, harassment, or bias and remains firmly committed to being an inclusive and respectful workplace. IndiGo strongly refutes these baseless claims and stands by its values of fairness, integrity, and accountability and will extend its support to the law enforcement agencies as required.'
