indigo airline dgca investigation

Gurgaon, India: A trainee pilot associated with IndiGo Airlines has filed an FIR with the DLF Phase 1 police station in Gurgaon, alleging caste-based harassment by three officials at the airline’s corporate office. The complaint includes serious accusations of verbal abuse, workplace discrimination, and professional retaliation. According to a report by The Times of India, the pilot has claimed that the officials made derogatory remarks about his caste background, including statements such as “not fit for aircraft” and “go stitch slippers.” These remarks, the complainant says, were made within office premises in a professional setting and caused significant mental distress. In addition to the verbal abuse, the pilot alleges he was subjected to unfair treatment following the incident. He claims that without justification, portions of his salary were deducted and he was asked to undergo retraining, actions he describes as targeted and retaliatory. The pilot contends these measures were not applied uniformly to others and were designed to humiliate him further. The FIR has been registered under provisions of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989, along with relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Gurgaon Police have confirmed that the complaint has been taken up and that an investigation is underway. Statements from involved parties and office records will reportedly be reviewed as part of the inquiry. As of now, IndiGo has not issued a public response or confirmed whether an internal investigation has been initiated. The names of the three accused have not been officially disclosed in media reports, though they have been identified in the police complaint. This incident raises broader concerns around caste-based discrimination in India's aviation and corporate sectors, where such complaints are rarely made public. The outcome of the ongoing investigation may prompt closer scrutiny of workplace conduct, grievance redressal mechanisms, and inclusivity within the airline industry.
