DGCA dismisses 4 pilots in IndiGo crisis; faces scrutiny for alleged scapegoating.

  • DGCA is under scrutiny for dismissing four pilots in connection with the IndiGo cancellation crisis and FDTL issues.
  • The dismissed pilots claim they were scapegoated, with some having no direct involvement in the FDTL committee or having already resigned.
  • One dismissed pilot, Anil Pokhriyal, was battling advanced cancer and had resigned a month before his dismissal.
  • Another pilot, Priyam Kaushik, was lauded as a national hero for saving lives in a plane fire and participating in Operation Kaveri.
  • Pilots stated they were consultants, only providing advice, and no inquiry was conducted before their immediate dismissal.

Why It Matters: DGCA's dismissal of pilots for IndiGo crisis sparks questions of injustice and scapegoating.
