Fresh concerns are mounting over the tragic crash of an Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner or Air India Flight 171 last month, as new reports suggest the flight's captain, who died in the crash along with 240 others, had previously taken medical leave for mental health issues.
Captain Sumeet Sabharwal, 56, was the lead pilot of the London-bound aircraft that went down just after takeoff from Ahmedabad on 12 June. The catastrophe claimed the lives of nearly everyone on board, leaving just a single survivor, and triggering one of the deadliest aviation disasters in India's recent history.
