The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) orders the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) to investigate an Air India incident on the Phuket–Delhi route involving turbulence, multiple outlets report. The DGCA also takes interim action related to the crew while the inquiry is ongoing.
Both reports say the DGCA suspends the two pilots involved in the incident pending the outcome of drug tests. The suspension is described as temporary, linked specifically to awaiting test results rather than a final determination of fault.
While the outlets agree on the core steps—AAIB involvement and suspension of the pilots pending drug testing—they do not add differing factual details such as specific flight numbers, timeline, injuries, or findings. The emphasis in both pieces is on regulatory and investigative procedures following the turbulence incident.
