Mumbai: The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and local police, which are conducting a parallel investigation into the recent Singapore Airlines turbulence incident in which 22 people were injured, are at loggerheads over the issue of jurisdiction.
The situation became tense after the office of assistant commissioner of police (airport division) wrote to the DGCA asking it to submit the details of the probe carried out by it.
DGCA, in turn, has written to top police authorities saying that the police has no jurisdiction over it. A senior DGCA official, who had knowledge about the matter said, "The cops have no jurisdiction over the airline incident investigation and should submit to us all the statements of injured passengers."
