Air India plane crash: Pilots’ body serves legal notice over summons to deceased captain Sumeet Sabharwal’s nephew
NEW DELHI: Federation of Indian Pilots has served a legal notice on Aircraft Accident Investigation Board over summoning a nephew of late Captain Sumeet Sabharwal, pilotin-command of Air India Flight 171 that crashed seconds after take-off in Ahmedabad on June 12 last year, killing 260 people, including the crew.
The legal notice says Air India informed the nephew of the summons without disclosing “statutory provision, purpose or relevance”, or “capacity in which presence was required”. It says the nephew had no association with the aircraft, flight planning, dispatch, operation, maintenance, certification, airworthiness clearance or crew composition, and was not present at the crash site.
“The summoning of the nephew of the deceased pilot and his relatives, irrespective of lack of nexus with the case, reinforces apprehension that such actions are not rooted in any lawful investigative necessity,” the notice says.

How is the nephew of the dead pilot related to the accident. Now even a layman like me will tend to suspect the motive of the ok investigators. Who are the investigators trying to fool. I think the CBI and ED should scan the bank accounts of the investigators to find whether any kickbacks have been received from the Boeing company to cover up the exact cause of the accident by somehow puttin the blame on the deceased pilot. Has the investigation team summoned each and every member of the maintenance team and scanned their Bank account for any kickbacks ? The way the investigation is being carried out obviously raises suspicion that there may have been a sabotage and multiple players and their associates may have been involvedRead allPost comment
