Pilot of Air India AI-2379 tests positive for marijuana, second test confirms

Post‑flight screening in Delhi revealed that the chief pilot of the troubled Air India flight tested positive for marijuana. A follow‑up test conducted shortly after also returned a positive result, confirming the presence of the substance commonly referred to as "weed." The findings have added pressure on the airline to enforce stricter doping controls and may lead to harsher penalties for crew members found violating the rules.
