Two blasts in Bangalore-Guwahati Express at Chennai station, one dead, suspect detained-Live video



Chennai: One passenger was killed and nine others injured in twin explosions in the Bangalore-Guwahati Express at platform number 9 of the Chennai Central Railway Station on Thursday morning.
The blasts reportedly took place in the sleeper coaches of the train as it was coming to an halt at the station, leaving a 40-year-old woman dead.
Out of the 10 injured two are stated to be critical, Railway authorities confirmed. A suspect found hiding on the train reportedly with explosives has been detained by the police.
Sources say that the NIA has confirmed twin blasts at the Chennai Central railway station and have said that a terror angle cannot be ruled out. "I have told my officers to get information. We are trying to assess the situation," Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde said.
The NIA has sent two teams to assist the Tamil Nadu Police in the probe. While one team has been sent from Hyderabad, the other has been sent from Delhi.
"This will create fears in the mind of passengers. Thousands of passengers use the Chennai station every day. The police must take action and ensure that this is not repeated," said Minister of State (Railways) KJ Surya Prakash Reddy.
The blasts took place at the junction of the sleeper coaches S4 and S5 while the train was entering the Chennai Central Railway Station. Those injured have been shifted to the Rajiv Gandhi hospital near the station. Train services in and out of Chennai Central have been affected.
The police and the bomb disposal squads rushed to the spot immediately after the blasts. The Chennai helpline number released by the Railways is 044-25357398.
The police are investigating the matter with the Railway authorities calling it 'low-intensity' explosions. "There were two separate blasts in the train. The entire police force is involved in the investigation," said Southern Railways General Manager Rakesh Mishra.
The family of the woman who died in the blasts has been granted a compensation amount of Rs 1 lakh by the Railways.

Karbonn to launch Dual OS smartphone from june or july 2014

Homegrown mobile phone-maker Karbonn Mobiles is all set to launch dual-OS (operating system) devices, which will support both Android and Windows, by June.

The company has just signed the licence agreement with Microsoft to make Windows-based phones and will put this along with its existing Android system to bring out the dual-OS phones in about six months, the company's chairman Sudhir Hasija said.

This comes soon after Nokia moved out of its Windows-only strategy to launch low-cost smartphones that run on the Android operating system.

Amazon got hacked by the skyjack for its drone delivery

Report :

"Amazon Prime Air is by far the most ambitious commercial drone program in development, but there's no reason it couldn't work. Today. Plenty of companies have demonstrated delivering goods via drone, including Domino's Pizza and the infamous TacoCopter. Although the flights are often promotional stunts (and not serious development programs, as Jeff Bezos says Amazon's is), they work. ... That tiny helicopter bringing you anything you desire on the Internet could be coming in for a smooth landing, after all."

But recently The vulnerability of the drone is being released which can be hacked by the skyjack 


Amazon’s publicity stunt earlier this week has certainly caught the eye of pretty much everyone interested in new delivery technologies, which again, is pretty much everyone since we all want our packages to arrive as soon as possible. However, there are way too many factors that make Amazon Prime Air not really feasible yet, namely the ability to hack an Amazon Prime Air drone and send it to a different location.
A new drone technology called SkyJack has been detailed, and it allows a Parrot AR.Drone to fly around and hack into other Parrot AR.Drones, turning them into sort of zombie drones. All it takes is a cheap Raspberry Pi computer board running custom software that you can download for free. From their, your drone can go ahead and hack other Parrot drones that are nearby by hijacking their wireless connections.


The man behind it all, Samy Kamkar, details the hacking process in a blog post, calling out Amazon Prime Air directly, saying ”how fun it would be to take over drones carrying Amazon packages.”
