Pushkaraj Sabharwal, father of Captain Sumeet Sabharwal, who perished in the tragic Air India Dreamliner crash on June 12, has called for a formal central government investigation, questioning the preliminary findings of the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB). Sabharwal argues that selective leaks from the inquiry have unfairly tarnished his son’s reputation, suggesting he may have been under psychological distress, despite a distinguished flying career spanning over 25 years without incident. The AAIB’s preliminary report indicated a critical fuel supply issue to both engines shortly after takeoff. This situation underscores the urgent need for transparency and a comprehensive investigation, as many stakeholders seek clarity in the wake of this devastating accident, given its implications for aviation safety in India.
