Imran Khan questioned by Mumbai Customs over toy helicopter
Imran Khan didn’t quite receive the welcome that he was expecting when he returned from New York day before yesterday after promoting his upcoming film Break Ke Baad. On his arrival at the Mumbai International Airport, Imran was stopped by the Customs authorities over a small toy helicopter which he was carrying.
Apparently, Imran had got himself a toy helicopter from New York which works on Wi-Fi. Little did the actor know that the customs authorities in Mumbai would have an objection to it. The officials demanded that Imran get permission from the Telecom Department for possessing such a toy. Restrictions have been imposed on import of aero models that run on certain radio bandwidths because of their possible interference with the communication networks of security agencies.
The officials confiscated the toy on the grounds of obtaining a clarification from the telecom department. Imran tried to reason with the authorities, but they asked him to seek permission from the telecom department and then take the toy. Like a good law abiding citizen, Imran had no choice but to leave his toy helicopter behind. The actor plans to now seek the required approval /permission and claim back his toy.

Australian Maritime Safety Authority spokeswoman Carly Lusk said three vessels were sent from the French territory of Reunion Island and an aircraft was to depart from Perth on a four-hour flight to Abby Sunderland’s location more than 2,000 miles from both Africa and Australia.
It was not clear when the vessels left, but it would take a day for the nearest ship to reach the area. Reunion Island is off Madagascar, the very large island along the east coast of Africa.
Conditions can quickly become perilous for any sailor exposed to the elements in that part of the world.
“We’ve got to get a plane out there quick,” said family spokesman Christian Pinkston, adding that the teen’s family in Thousand Oaks was asking for prayers for her safety.
Her brother Zac, also a teenage solo sailor, said Abby was prepared and mentally tough. “I really wish I could see her and hope she gets through this one,” he told reporters outside the family home.
Abby last communicated with her family at 4 a.m. PDT and reported 30-foot swells but was not in distress, Pinkston said.
An hour later the family was notified that her emergency beacons had been activated, and there was no further communication. Pinkston said the beacons were manually activated.
Her brother said the boat was most likely not completely submerged because another beacon would be triggered at a depth of 15 feet.
Derrick Fries, a U.S. sailing instruction and safety expert, said Abby’s circumstances were very unclear.
“It’s hard to determine if she’s rolled over, swamped, or washed overboard. She has to have a dry suit on to have any chance,” he said. “To be capsized in the middle of the ocean with waves crashing relentlessly down, not just for hours, but days, I can’t tell you how difficult those conditions are.”
A lifelong sailor whose father is a shipwright and has a yacht management company, Abby set sail from Los Angeles County’s Marina del Rey in her 40-foot boat, Wild Eyes, on Jan. 23 in an attempt to become the youngest person to sail around the world alone without stopping. Her brother briefly held the record in 2009.
Before Abby’s voyage began, her brother described her as having more skill and experience than most sailors in their 20s and 30s. Her father said she had more solo sailing experience than Zac did before he started out.
“He totally thinks that I’m ready to do it, so that does help,” she said at the time.
Abby soon ran into equipment problems and had to stop for repairs. She gave up the goal of setting the record in April, but continued on.Casher said Abby had to make repeated calls with her Iridium satellite phone because of sketchy connections. He said she had been in rough weather and had a problem with her engine, which she eventually managed to start. The team then asked her to check other things on the boat.
“She hung up to go check some things and she never did call back,” he said.
