Air India has forced its Regional Director for East, Rohit Bhasin, to resign after an internal probe found that he had shoplifted a wallet from a duty-free shop at the Sydney airport on June 22, officials said on Wednesday.
The national carrier rejected his request to exit the airline under the Voluntary Retirement Scheme (VRS), which would have given him certain post-retirement benefits, said an official.
In April 2016, Bhasin was involved in another serious incident while operating a Delhi-Paris flight as the pilot-in-command. Before take off, he had asked the first officer to enter fraudulent low temperature in the system so that take off was permitted.
Once the flight took off, he took the B787 Dreamliner aircraft to an altitude that was beyond its operational capability, endangering the lives of passengers, the official said.
His last day at work would be August 31. “Bhasin’s suspension was revoked on Monday so that his resignation could be accepted on Tuesday,” said the official.
