Civil Aviation Minister K Rammohan Naidu has asserted that there is no manipulation in the investigation into the Air India crash that resulted in 260 fatalities on June 12, emphasizing that the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) is conducting a thorough and rule-abiding inquiry. The preliminary report indicated a critical fuel supply cut-off to both engines shortly after takeoff, leading to cockpit confusion. Concerns have been raised by the Federation of Indian Pilots for a judicial probe, alleging compromised investigations, while families of the pilots have sought clarity amid speculations regarding their mental state. The Supreme Court criticized the selective release of findings, highlighting the necessity for transparency in such a tragic incident, which underlines the importance of accountability in aviation safety and the protection of reputations.
