The plane was headed for London’s Gatwick Airport in the United Kingdom with 242 people on board, and only one passenger survived the crash.

Weeks after the crash, the investigation report of the accident released showed that fuel to the plane’s engine was cut off moments before the crash.

Sanket’s father, Atul Goswami, stated that he was not satisfied with the preliminary investigation report released by the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB), NDTV reports.

He then demanded that the government conduct a "thorough investigation" concerning the cause of the plane crash that killed his son, who was travelling to London for his studies.

Atul said:

“My son was 19 years old... My family is living under such difficult circumstances. We used to rely on my son a lot. He was going to London for three years to get his degree. Our whole family relied on him.
"We are not satisfied with the report. We request the government to conduct a thorough investigation and strict action be taken against the responsible parties."

On Friday, July 11, 2025, the AAIB released its preliminary report into the crash. According to the report, the fuel control switches of the Air India plane were moved to the cut-off position moments before the plane crashed.

It described a critical situation that developed just 90 seconds after takeoff, when both engines shut down unexpectedly during the climb. This led to a loss of thrust and a rapid drop in altitude.

The report disclosed that one pilot could be heard on the cockpit voice recorder asking the other why he cut off the fuel.

Meanwhile, the owners of Air India mentioned the amount that would be paid to the families of victims who died in the tragic accident.
