Matter under investigation
Mohol said, "I just want to inform you all that our investigation agencies are probing the matter. Should we have faith in our own agencies or outsiders? Our agencies are working on it," he said, as reported by The Times of India.
Mohol said that they would wait for the final report to arrive at conclusions. "Once the final report is finalised, then only it will be justifiable to comment on it," he added, highlighting the need to trust Indian investigation agencies rather than depending on international media.
Report by Italian media
This comes on the heels of a report carried by Italian media which blamed the pilots as being responsible for the air crash.

On Thursday, it was the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) which clarified by stating that investigation into the matter was still in process. The claims of it being over are "incorrect and speculative".
The air tragedy involved an Air India flight Boeing 787-8 to London's Gatwick Airport which crashed soon after takeoff from Ahmedabad on June 12 last year. The tragedy resulted in the deaths of 241 passengers and 19 others.
