Indian Supreme Court orders sealed-cover submission of Air India Flight 171 crash report

The Indian Supreme Court has ruled that the final investigation report into the June 2025 Ahmedabad crash, which resulted in 260 fatalities, will be submitted under seal rather than made public. The decision follows a petition by the father of the flight's captain, who seeks to challenge preliminary findings suggesting pilot error regarding engine fuel-control switches. The move limits public transparency regarding the cause of the disaster while the legal battle over the pilot's reputation continues.
