The incident came at a time when the DGCA is conducting safety audits of cash-strapped Kingfisher Airlines and another airlines, which are facing financial distress as per the civil aviation regulator's audit in December last.
After Kingfisher submits its report, the DGCA would initiate its own investigations and if the pilot was found guilty then his licence may be suspended for a few months.
