Air India Pilots Being Defamed? Who Gains From 'Pilot Error' Push

Ahmedabad Plane Crash: The late Captain Sumeet Sabharwal was a pilot with a spotless record , impeccable skill, and the respect of his peers. And yet, within hours of the crash, the whispering began, online, offline, by so-called experts, even foreign TikTok aviators with zero access to facts, dropping breadcrumbs of blame at the cockpit door. The noise grows around the pilot. Meanwhile, silence deepens around the aircraft, the maintenance, the regulatory lapses, the airline's safety culture. The blame shifts from billion-dollar systems to a human being who can no longer speak for himself.

Everyone we've spoken to who flew with Capt Sumeet, colleagues, crew, commanders, say the same thing: there is no way he erred. But even if, for argument's sake, he did, the question is why that is the only theory being whispered louder than the rest. Because when you manufacture perception, you manufacture pressure. And when you manufacture pressure, you shape accountability. Conveniently. Selectively. Cynically. So tonight, we ask the question others won't: who gains from this? Who profits when blame is human, but responsibility isn't? It's time we expose the campaign. And trace it to its authors.
