A Mumbai-based Air India captain in his 40s was found dead inside a hotel room in south Delhi’s Vasant Kunj on Friday, a day before he was scheduled to operate a flight. The pilot had been staying at the hotel during a layover since Thursday. His brother alerted hotel staff after the captain stopped responding to phone calls. The room was locked from inside, and the hotel manager opened it using a master key. Police found the pilot unconscious and took him to a nearby hospital, where he was declared dead. An autopsy was conducted, while police await the postmortem report to determine the cause of death. (PC: X)
