The aviation sector in India is under intense scrutiny following the tragic crash of an Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner in Ahmedabad last week—the first-ever fatal accident involving this aircraft model. The incident has been followed by a series of alarming mid-air technical glitches affecting multiple Dreamliners and Air India domestic flights, raising urgent questions about whether these are mere coincidences or part of a sinister sabotage plot targeting Indian aviation.
A Sudden Surge In Dreamliner Glitches
Within just 24 hours, three separate Dreamliner flights operated by Air India and British Airways reported critical technical issues, forcing emergency diversions and returns:

Adding to the chaos, a fourth Air India flight from Delhi to Ranchi was abruptly diverted back to the capital due to yet another technical snag.

These incidents, occurring in rapid succession, have triggered a mandatory inspection of all 34 Boeing 787s in Air India’s fleet by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).
The Ahmedabad Crash: An Isolated Incident Or Part Of A Larger Conspiracy?
The Ahmedabad crash, which claimed several lives, remains under investigation. Initial theories pointed toward pilot error or mechanical failure, but recent developments suggest a far more alarming possibility—deliberate fuel contamination.
A whistleblower in 2024 had already flagged production shortcuts in Boeing’s Dreamliner series, but the sudden spate of malfunctions post-Ahmedabad has fueled suspicions of foul play. Aviation experts are now questioning whether a timed-release contaminant could have been introduced into the aircraft’s fuel system while it was stationed outside India. Given that the ill-fated flight had traveled from Delhi to Ahmedabad before its onward journey to London, the sabotage theory gains traction—especially since the crash occurred in Modi’s home state, at an Adani-managed airport.
International Conspiracy: Is The Deep State Involved?
If sabotage is confirmed, the implications are grave. The Deep State—comprising hostile foreign actors, compromised media, and geopolitical adversaries—stands to gain immensely from tarnishing India’s aviation reputation. Some of the possible political motives include:
The Adani Group’s growing influence in Indian infrastructure, including airports, makes it a prime target. A manufactured crisis could be used to undermine investor confidence and fuel political instability.
By shaking trust in Air India and Indian aviation, foreign entities could deter tourism and business travel, inflicting long-term financial harm.
With Pakistan unable to strike India militarily or through conventional terrorism, covert sabotage via aviation disruptions presents a low-risk, high-impact alternative.
Media Manipulation
Disturbingly, certain Western media outlets (such as Reuters, Bloomberg, DW, and NYT) appear to be preemptively shaping a narrative that blames Indian authorities, the Airports Authority of India (AAI), or Adani’s airport management—even before the official investigation concludes.
Aviation “experts” such as TikToker “Captain Steeeve” have suspiciously shifted their stance overnight. These experts initially blamed pilot error for the crash.

Then, after being called out, they shifted the narrative to emphasizing “double engine failure”—as if they already possess undisclosed crash data.
Capt Steeeve got a lot of heat for going with pilot error. Based on new evidence he is going with dual engine failure. If that turns out to be true, Boeing is going to be in a lot of trouble. Airline industry will get affected big time. Over a thousand 787s in service. pic.twitter.com/UYbt8EYQK3

This handle is just one of the many examples which suggest an orchestrated campaign to deflect blame from potential sabotage and instead implicate Indian systems.
I 100% believe the Air India crash was sabotage. I also got a good hunch of what is coming next.
An Air India – Ahmedabad – AAI – Adani – Modi hitjob. Get prepared.
Here's what we can expect:
The crash investigation report will come out. It may say "Fuel contamimation."

While the investigation must proceed without prejudice, the alarming frequency of Dreamliner malfunctions post-Ahmedabad cannot be ignored. Whether the cause is mechanical negligence or a calculated attack, India must prepare for a disinformation blitz aimed at damaging its aviation sector and political stability.
The truth will emerge, but one thing is certain: India cannot afford to let external forces dictate the narrative. If this was indeed sabotage, the perpetrators—whether state-sponsored or corporate rivals—must be exposed and held accountable before they strike again.
