Randhawa speaks about late Sumeet Sabharwal
Randhawa, a respected figure in the aviation industry, voiced out his pain during a recent interview with Mojo Story.
The pilot in question, Sumeet, had tragically lost his life in a recent Air India crash, and rumours surrounding his character had begun to circulate.
Captain Randhawa, who had extensive experience working with the late pilot, described him as a consummate professional with a gentle demeanour.
According to him, Sumeet Sabharwal was a quiet and balanced individual who maintained a high level of professionalism throughout his career.
In his words:
"I have trained him, I have known him since last 30 years, so I have known him to be a very quiet person. Non argumentative, very balanced, soft spoken, never drank in his life. Never smokedd, no drugs. Nothing. A good professional and in the training also, little bit of training I did on the Airbus A310, I found him he was a good professional, so casting aspersions without any evidences, it is painful for even colleagues like us from Air India. When we hear about him, people talking, we get upset and we get charged to take action against people who are spreading such rumours against him."

"Mam, I am not known to Captain Sumeet and Captain Clive. But I dont know why, I cried like I know both of them and they look so familiar and affectionate. I started thinking I would have seen them somewhere during brief trips abroad. So familiar. They have trust and professionalism written on their faces. How can people say such slanderous things abut them? Its heart breaking."
