An Air India crash aftermath has been labeled ‘irresponsibly’ handled by a court, which criticized the way key evidence was mishandled. The incident occurred on May 22, 2022, at Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, involving an Air India flight carrying 168 passengers and crew. The court stated that authorities failed to properly handle evidence by allowing crucial pieces, such as the digital flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder, to be tampered with before investigators could access them. The court’s decision came after a petition was filed by the families of the crash victims, claiming negligence in the handling of the investigation.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), responsible for investigating transportation disasters, defended their actions, stating that they followed standard procedures and that the evidence was not compromised. In contrast, the petitioners believe that the mishandling of evidence jeopardizes the impartiality of the investigation and could potentially lead to a skewed outcome. They argue that such negligence could prevent the real cause of the crash from being uncovered, denying the victims’ families justice and closure.
The court’s ruling has sparked a debate between those who support the NTSB’s methods and those who question the integrity of the investigation. As the case unfolds, the handling of crucial evidence is likely to remain a point of contention, with both sides adamant about their positions and the need for a fair and transparent inquiry into the tragic event.
