Air India Express issued a show-cause notice to pilot Virender Sejwal following an alleged assault and abuse incident involving passenger Ankit Dewan at Delhi Airport's Terminal 1. Sources confirmed proceedings are being conducted under labour laws since pilots fall under the workmen category. An external inquiry committee will be established this week to investigate the incident thoroughly. The airline is taking formal disciplinary action as part of standard protocol for such allegations. The case represents a serious breach of professional conduct standards expected from aviation personnel. Details about the specific circumstances leading to the confrontation remain under investigation as the external committee prepares to examine evidence and testimonies from involved parties.
