Directorate General of Civil Aviation director-general Arun Kumar said the aviation regulator was investigating the matter.
Following the two fatal disasters, Boeing Max aircraft have been off the air since 2019 all over the world. India removed the ban on that aircraft last year. Following the disaster, Boeing updated all necessary improvements and installed a simulator across the nation.
