India denies entry to UN aviation investigator in Air India crash probe

India has denied allowing a UN investigator to join the probe into the Ahmedabad Air India plane crash incident, sources have said. 

According to the details, Indian authorities refused the offer after the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) had asked for the



investigator, who was in India, to be given observer status.

Earlier this week, the United Nations aviation agency took the unusual step of offering India one of its investigators to provide assistance following the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner crash, killing 270 people in Ahmedabad on June 12.
