Mahajan Jr's pilot wife grounded

New Delhi: After reports of alleged physical abuse and marital discord rocked her personal life a few days back, Rahul Mahajan’s wife Shweta Singh is now facing turbulence on the professional front.
Shweta, a pilot with Jet Airways, has been grounded from flight duties for allegedly violating standard operating procedures (SOPs) and safety norms on a Delhi-Hyderabad flight on November 16.
Government sources said Shweta, who was commanding the flight 9W-825 on the Delhi-Hyderabad route, deployed speed brakes and improper wing flap position at landing. "Accident value was perceived to be high during the incident and DGCA (directorate general of civil aviation) has directed the airline to de-roster both Shweta and the co-pilot, pending further investigation," a source told TOI.
Following the DGCA directive, Shweta has been taken off flying duty by Jet.
