In the Rajya Sabha on Monday, Union Civil Aviation Minister K.

Amid ongoing speculation about the potential role of the pilots in the accident, Naidu clarified that the AAIB's preliminary report outlines only what is currently known, based on the cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder. "I can say this in the House that the AAIB has a very definitive and thorough rule-based process. They are very transparently looking at the (investigation) process right now, and they are totally unbiased."
