According to Delhi Police, the civil aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation filed a complaint against 34 pilots, of whom 10 were summoned for questioning.

"We have received a complaint by DGCA and are examining the matter. No arrest has been made yet," Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police Chinmoy Biswal said adding that the questioning took place on Tuesday afternoon.

The DGCA is said to have also submitted to the officers at Lodhi Road police station a "screen shot" of the usage of objectionable, obscene language.
