Fresh investigative reporting suggests the final crash report may conclude that the disaster was not caused by a mechanical malfunction, but by deliberate human action inside the cockpit. The report identifies Captain Sumeet Sabharwal as pilot-in-command, with First Officer Clive Kunder as co-pilot. Investigators reportedly believe the fuel cutoff may have been manually initiated, though accountability remains unresolved and the official DGCA final report is still pending. WATCH ... [Read More]
