Indian low-cost airline SpiceJet is under government scrutiny following an incident in which a plane's autopilot malfunctioned, causing severe turbulence and multiple onboard injuries
The country's Directorate General of Civil Aviation is looking into what happened on SpiceJet flight 945, which was traveling from Mumbai to Durgapur, West Bengal, on May 1.
As a result, the aircraft experienced dramatic turbulence, which caused some overhead bins to open, items to spill out across the plane and emergency oxygen masks to drop. Fifteen people -- 12 passengers and three crew members -- were hospitalized after the plane landed at Durgapur's Kazi Nazrul Islam Airport .
The DGCA has taken swift measures regarding the incident. The plane itself has been grounded in Kolkata to be examined. In addition, the agency benched several crew members from the flight and the Aviation Medical Examiner in Durgapur who allowed the aircraft to leave after the incident.
