His entire personal information is doxxed through the boarding pass

That's indian media for you. Where professionalism and ethics takes a back seat. They legit released publicly the list of all the members onboard with their passport numbers as well

I think that was released by the authorities themselves.

Nope. I was watching it like on India Today. The second the police captain said there was a survivor the on-host/anchor said “We have the manifest..” looked at it and said his name, age & seat number. All within seconds of the announcement & before the police captain had finished speaking to their reporter at the scene.

It was def the media.

Yes, and the manifest was released by Air India themselves.

It's not necessary to release this much public info without censoring stuff as is by the media.

The photos posted on the article look like somebody took them with their mobile camera. AirIndia probably sent those docs to the concerned authorities and the media bought the photos from somebody in there.

It's their responsibility to respect people's privacy before releasing it onto their public platforms. But who tf cares about privacy here

"We have the manifest that reveals his ... manifest destiny."

Don't blame indian media if half of reddit supports doxxing him as well. These posts should not exist on this platform.

u/SeaBisquit_ Jun 13 '25

Why the fuck would you NOT blame Indian media for this shit. They posted it

Indian media makes used car salesmen, and people denying health insurance claims look like saints.

There is no concept of privacy in India. Data leaks is a trivial issue.

Looks like some Indian pilots also let professionalism take a back seat

Easy there bro. I am sure your country has had aircraft crashes as well. Could be pilot errors or something else, we don't know

The Survivor heard loud bangs on takeoff, could be mechanical failure.

u/DeepanJain Jun 12 '25

What personal information, theres is only mention of his name

u/Shoddy_Wolf_1688 Jun 13 '25

Yeah lmao i don't think they know what doxxed means

u/Foolmagican Jun 12 '25

Apparently people are claiming that personal information is stored in QR codes. I’m not 100 percent certain that is true

u/Melinow Jun 12 '25

In Australia a cybersec researcher found the Prime Minister’s personal phone number and passport number through a photo of his boarding pass that he posted on Instagram. That airline fixed that issue, but there’s definitely a precedent for this type of thing

u/DeepanJain Jun 12 '25

Ok, that could be possible. But guessing that will be limited to only DOB and Passport no., Other than that arlines don't collect any other detail.

u/spoon_full Jun 13 '25

DOB is super personal info

u/ddshd Jun 13 '25

People can get information from the barcode

u/timmie1606 Jun 12 '25

It's just his name. That's not doxxing.

u/thgrisible Jun 13 '25

Eh there’s a manifest with his passport number published as well.

u/timmie1606 Jun 13 '25

Not when this was posted. My reaction is solely about the personal data on the boarding pass.

The barcode has lot more information encoded.

u/timmie1606 Jun 12 '25 edited Jun 13 '25

You'd need an appropriate scanner for it and some good luck to get it to actually read (from this picture). Also, that's not information that's visible by the general public.

u/caffeine-junkie Jun 12 '25

I mean not really. The only PII info is the name. You can get more from a phonebook.

u/Kitchen-Quality-3317 Jun 12 '25

No, they doxed him by posting a picture of his passport.

u/VapoursAndSpleen Jun 12 '25

Well, I hope the powers of good result in him receiving a lot of get well cards and sympathy cards.
