Air India crash: Supreme Court slams probe leaks, India-US trade talks gather pace

This episode of 5 Live programme focusses on the ongoing scrutiny of the Air India crash investigation in Ahmedabad and the nutritional realities of Navratri fasting foods. Three months following the tragic aviation accident that resulted in over 270 fatalities, the Supreme Court has intervened, questioning preliminary report leaks that implicated pilot error by Captain Sumit Sabarwal. His 93-year-old father, Ishkaraj Sabarwal, is actively seeking a fair, independent, and court-monitored probe, challenging the DGCA's investigative impartiality and highlighting potential systemic failures within the aviation ecosystem. Simultaneously, the programme explores the nutritional content of popular Navratri fasting meals. It reveals how a typical 'vrat thali,' often comprising deep-fried items like sabudana vada and kuttu ki poori, can constitute a high-calorie intake, potentially exceeding a thousand kilocalories and causing significant blood sugar spikes.
