Close on the heels of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) launching a probe against six pilots of IndiGo airlines for allegedly taking pictures in the cockpit with family members, four more pilots of the carrier have come under the scanner of the aviation regulator for posing with an alcohol bottle on a flight.

“IndiGo has informed DGCA of grounding of the four pilots and setting up of an internal enquiry,” DGCA sources said.
