The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has filed an FIR regarding the Flydubai incident where an Omani pilot attacked Indian captain Smit Machchhar and tried to crash the plane bound for Israel. The FIR invokes the Anti-Hijacking Act, 2016, and sections of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act to probe conspiracy, lone-wolf terror motives, and radicalisation networks. The Indian pilot, despite serious injuries, averted disaster by opening the cockpit door, enabling intervention.
