Mangalore: The 812 Foundation which was formed post Mangalore plane crash incident of 2010, has demanded a re-investigation into the incident as the Court of Inquiry (COI) findings on the same were highly 'massaged' and did not reveal the right reasons.
Speaking to press persons here on Saturday, Foundation President Yeshwanth Shenoy alleged that the CoI report by Air Marshal Bhushan Nilkanth Gokhale did not reveal the right reasons either due to incompetence or could be an intentional cover up.
The report covered up the flaws of Airport Authority of India (AAI), both in having an illegal structure at the end of runway and the inability of the fire and rescue teams to reach the spot quickly. He was also critical of the approach of judiciary in the matter pointing the courts never entertained any petition which was filed earlier to the incident inviting its attention on the lack of adequate safety measures at Mangalore airport.
