Air India’s Boeing 787-8 flight AI171 en route to London’s Gatwick airport was operated by pilot-in-command Captain Sumeet Sabharwal and co-pilot Captain Clive Kunder. The crash took place after the flight took off from Ahmedabad, killing 260 people, including 241 passengers and crew on board. On November 13, last year, the top court said deceased pilot Captain Sabharwal of Air India was not blamed in the AAIB’s preliminary report into the crash. It had also issued notice to the Centre and the Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on a plea of Pushkaraj Sabharwal, the father of Captain Sabharwal. Bhushan said a parallel inquiry should be conducted like a court of inquiry into the accident of sucha major scale.
