Pilot's Father Urges Supreme Court for Independent Probe into Air India Crash

The father of an Air India pilot killed in a June crash petitions the Supreme Court of India for an independent investigation, challenging the current focus on pilot error.

The 91-year-old father of the deceased Air India pilot seeks an independent investigation into the June crash near Ahmedabad that claimed 260 lives.
He argues that the ongoing probe, led by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (India), unfairly emphasizes pilot error without considering technical and procedural factors.
The father calls for a new panel of aviation experts, potentially including the Air Accidents Investigation Branch, to review the circumstances surrounding the Boeing 787 Dreamliner crash.
