A petition has been filed in the Supreme Court asking the Central Government to release the complete investigation data from the Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner crash in Ahmedabad on June 12, 2025, which killed more than 260 people.

The plea was submitted by the Safety Matters Foundation; an NGO focused on aviation safety. It claims that the preliminary report released by the Ministry of Civil Aviation has not disclosed all the information collected during the initial probe. According to the group, this goes against the Aircraft (Investigation of Accidents and Incidents) Rules, 2017, which require full transparency.

The petition also pointed out that the preliminary report does not mention the account of the sole survivor, 40-year-old businessman Vishwashkumar Ramesh from Leicester, UK. His testimony, the NGO said, is essential to piece together what happened in the final moments before the crash.

The move in India comes soon after the families of four passengers who died in the crash filed a lawsuit in Delaware, United States, against aircraft maker Boeing and component manufacturer Honeywell International.

Meanwhile, Pushkaraj Sabharwal, father of Captain Sumeet Sabharwal who was in command of the ill-fated flight, has written a letter to the Civil Aviation Ministry and the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB). He has demanded a formal inquiry to clear his son’s name, saying that protecting one’s reputation is a constitutional right under Article 21 of the Indian Constitution.

Cockpit recordings revealed confusion between the two pilots at the time of the incident. One pilot is heard asking the other why he cut off the switches, and the other replied that he had not done so.

The AAIB stressed that it is too early to make firm conclusions, as the full investigation is still ongoing. The bureau has urged the public and media not to spread premature theories until the final report establishes the root cause of the tragedy.

This crash remains one of India’s deadliest aviation accidents in recent years. With ongoing court cases, family petitions, and multiple international investigations, the final answers are still awaited.
