Bizarre: How girl keeps 20 boyfriends happy...

INDIA: A 25-year-old girl in the Indian city of Mumbai juggled hard to keep her 20 boyfriends happy so they wouldn't leave her.

In order to keep them happy, the bar dancer resorted to stealing goild chains from women on Mumbai's local trains. She would sell the chains off and buy expensive gift items and take her boyfriends to expensive hotels, reports Mid-Day.

Although the woman had a partner in crime, she was the mastermind behind the robberies. They would generally board the ladies coach on local trains and identify their target and get into an argument with the person. While one argued, the other one snatched the gold jewellery. The duo timed it so well that they would immediately jump from the train after the heist.

The two serial thieves are now behind bars and remorseless.

Mum 14, delivers in bathroom, strangles new-born

US: A young teenager who hid her pregnancy from her parents gave birth to her child in the toilet.

She hid her pregnancy and after she delivered her child in the wash room with a towel gripped between her teeth and a running tap to drown the sound of her screams of pain during labour, she cut the umbilical chord with a pair of scissors.

In a horrifying step, she strangulated her newly born baby and hid the tiny body inside a pile of dirty laundry as she was scared of her parents' reaction.

Now, she is being charged as an adult for first degree murder, reports Daily Mail. 

Experienced police officers say the case illustrates the issue of 750,000 teenage Americans who fall pregnant every year.

The incident came to light when the mother of the teenager was cleaning out her daughter's room a couple of days later and following a stink, she uncovered the shoe box hidden under the pile of dirty laundry.

The girl had painfully hidden her pregnancy from her parents and relatives. The mother later admitted that she had forced her daughter to undergo pregnancy tests twice and they were both negative. The tests were carried out by the daughter in the privacy of the bathroom. The father had also noticed his daughter walking around with a blanked arapped around her in the summer. The girl had also taken to wearing loose pants and t-shirts, which had made many people suspicious.

On the day the girl delivered in the bathroom, the mother noticed some traces of blood and took her daughter to the hospital. A nurse checked her and told the mother that the girl had suffered a miscarriage. The teenager lied and told the medical staff and her mother that she had suffered a miscarriage and accidentally flushed the foetus.

Illegal immigrant tries to smuggle himself as car seat

SPAIN: An illegal immigrant tried to get into Spain sitting inside a car seat under a passenger sitting on top of him.

Those involved in the trade took the foam out from the seat and instead placed the 20-tear-old Guinean replace the base of the seat, reports The Telegraph. Two Moroccans were in the car when it reached the Spanish border near the north African enclave of Melilla.

The security officers realised that there were more than two passengers inside the car only on closer inspection of the car seat.

Instead of finding foam, they found warm human flesh!

A Spanish policeman described the attempt to smuggle in as "novel".

Passengers' terror as loose seats 'go flying' during landing

US: The federal government is examining two separate incidents in which passenger seats came loose midflight on American Airlines planes in the last three days.

American said Monday that it would inspect those and six other Boeing 757 jets overnight.

The Federal Aviation Administration said both planes had recently undergone maintenance work that required seats to be removed and reinstalled. American spokeswoman Andrea Huguely said an initial review found that there could be a problem with the way the seats fit into tracks on the floor.

"Out of an abundance of caution, American has decided to proactively re-inspect eight 757s today that could possibly have this same issue," Huguely said. The FAA said it is looking into the incidents but didn't provide many more details.

Boeing Co. declined to comment other than to say it had nothing to do with the recent maintenance work involving seats.

On Saturday, a flight from Boston to Miami made an emergency landing in New York after three passenger seats came loose shortly after takeoff. The airline said there were no injuries, and passengers were put on another plane to Miami.

On Monday, an American flight from New York to Miami returned to John F. Kennedy International Airport after loose seats were discovered.

The incidents involved separate repair facilities and groups of American Airlines and contract workers, Huguely said. American flew engineers, crew chiefs and inspectors from its maintenance base in Tulsa, Okla., to New York to examine the planes, she said.

American had 124 Boeing 757s as of December. The eight being inspected use a similar seat assembly, officials said.

The 757s that American operates in the United States have 22 first-class seats and 166 in economy.

Airline and government officials discouraged speculation that the incidents could be related to labor-management tension at American, which is cutting labor costs and laying off maintenance workers as it tries to turn around under bankruptcy protection.

Last week American accused some pilots of conducting an illegal work slowdown that has led to a spike in delayed and canceled flights. The airline threatened to take the pilots' union to court.

On Monday, American continued to have more cancelations and delays than its rivals, according to tracking service FlightStats.com. But American's 17 cancellations and 61 percent on-time rating for arrivals were better than many of the airline's performances in September.

The delays and cancellations have annoyed passengers, but even the hint of mechanical issues could frighten them away and even threaten American's existence, experts said.

"These things can kill an airline," said George Hobica, founder of travel website airfarewatchdog.com. "With a delay or cancellation, you're sitting on the ground. (With loose seats) if the plane hits turbulence, people go flying."

Henry Harteveldt, a travel industry analyst in San Francisco, said that if travelers perceive maintenance to be lax, "passengers will start booking away from American Airlines in droves. This is very serious stuff."

FAA officials said they have stepped up scrutiny of American as they do with all airlines operating in bankruptcy protection. American and parent AMR Corp. filed for Chapter 11 in November. (AP)
